Water Borne Clears

[Cowboy]

I,m curious if anyone here has had any experience, Or if in fact They exist. I have seen others, Mostly from parts of Canada say that thats what They are having to go to for automotive work . But No one really mentioned anything Of what kind or How they work or if there safer to use than the Uro clears . Any info would be appreciated, thanks in Advance .

Interesting cowboy! I would like to know the same type of information! I know that they make them but I question the longevity of the products.

I wish I knew more info as well fellas....I'm not much a fan of water based anything...But if it worked, I'd love to give it a whirl.

Guess we'd have to get our hands on some and do our own tests..Learn from each other the goods and bads of it all.:speechless-smiley-0

I did a quick search and found some information on the DuPont site. Apparently they are in the process of making this product available in the future. I'm sure it will come about some day but in the mean time I'll stick with the stuff that gives me headaches. lol

Thanks Harley, But I dont think thats what Were talkin about.

( Quote ) Cured after electrostatic application, this material provides the same performance as a comparable solvent-borne material in typical tests such as acid-resistance, scratch-resistance, adhesion and weathering stability. ( Unquote ) .

I doubt if any of Us could afford the equipment it sounds like it would take. Sounds more like the powder coating process. But interesting read. Thanks .

As far as I know, and I've been bugging the hell out of quite a few different suppliers. Water Borne clear will not be something that's going to be produced for automotive use. It's simply not durable enough and with the low VOC HS clears that they have out right now there is no need because they are already VOC compliant. It's the solvents in the base system that was the huge problem, about 90% solvent. With the new water borne system it takes that down to aprox 5%.

That makes sense Clinton & thanks . Maybe I misunderstood some of the talk about the waterborne clears in canada being used . Sometimes the names of products dont translate well from place to place, But I could have Swore someone said it was allready being used Glazurit I beleive. I,ve been out of the loop for awhile so I wasn,t even aware of the low Voc,s You are talking about. I better do some more studying. Thanks again .
