Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel – Platinum Series

Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel – Platinum Series

This enamel represents the pinnacle of decorative and protective coatings for wood and metal surfaces. By infusing a high-quality synthetic enamel with the power of polyurethane (PU), this Platinum Series product is engineered to outperform traditional enamels in every aspect. The PU fortification creates an armor-like film that offers superior resistance to scratches, stains, and daily wear and tear. It is designed for those who seek not just colour, but also a sophisticated, high-gloss finish that looks newer for longer, maintaining its sheen and pristine appearance even under challenging conditions.

Performance & Key Attributes

• Polyurethane (PU) Fortification:
  • This is the core feature, providing a tough, resilient paint film with superior hardness. It offers excellent resistance to scratches, abrasion, and impact, making it ideal for high-touch surfaces like doors and railings.
• Rich, Mirror-Like Gloss:
  • Dries to a smooth, super high-gloss finish that provides a luxurious, deep lustre. Its excellent flow and leveling properties ensure a flawless, brush-mark-free appearance that reflects light beautifully.
• Superior Non-Yellowing Performance:
  • A significant advantage over conventional enamels. It is formulated with special PU-alkyd resins that actively resist the yellowing effect of aging and sunlight, ensuring that white and light shades stay true and bright for a much longer time.
• Excellent Stain & Washability:
  • The hard, non-porous film is highly washable and easy to maintain. It prevents stains from penetrating the surface and can be cleaned easily with a mild soap solution without losing its gloss.
• All-Weather Durability:
  • Contains anti-fungal additives to protect the surface and provides robust protection for both interior and exterior surfaces, demonstrating excellent adhesion on both wood and metal.

Systematic Application Guide

1. Surface Preparation: A perfect finish requires perfect preparation.
   • Wood: Sand the surface sequentially with Emery Paper No. 180 and then No. 320. Wipe clean. Prime with an appropriate wood primer.
   • Metal: Remove all rust and scale with a wire brush. Degrease the surface. Apply an appropriate metal primer (e.g., Red Oxide Zinc Chromate).
   • Previously Painted Surfaces: Scrape off all loose and flaking paint. Sand the surface to a dull, matt finish to ensure good adhesion.
2. Priming & Putty: Apply one coat of the appropriate Indigo Primer. After drying, apply putty to fill any dents or imperfections, then sand and apply another coat of primer over the putty.
3. Enamel Application:
   • Stir the enamel thoroughly and dilute with MTO as per the recommended ratio.
   • Apply the first coat with a high-quality brush or spray. Allow it to dry for at least 12-16 hours.
   • For a truly exceptional finish, lightly sand the first coat with a fine waterproof sandpaper (No. 400) before wiping clean and applying the second coat.
