Uses

This is the only wrinkle effect approved by the world's best known car manufacturers for embellishing their leading models.

It has been used to enhance engine and transmission parts and other car and motorcycle frame, chassis and bodywork parts since the early eighties.

It has become popular in the marine sector for coating exhaust manifolds, interiors and other fabrications.

It is used widely in the design field in the world of eyewear, watchmaking, jewellery and commercial interiors.

Also called Wurmförmigem Effekt, Effet Vermiculé, Efecto Vermiculado, Effetto vermicolato, Efekcie robaczka, Efeito Vermicular

Performance

This product is one of a kind in terms of both its aesthetic effect and its performance:

• adhesion to metal and many plastics
• excellent protection against corrosion
• excellent chemical resistance
• hardness and elasticity
• lends itself to coating prior to subsequent machining

Heat Resistance:

• 180°C for all the colors

Chromatic Resistance:

• 140°C Black, Blue Maserati
• 100°C for all other colors

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

All metal to be treated must be thoroughly clean, making sure there are no traces of oil, dust or dirt.

Cleaning can be done using suitable degreasing detergents or solvents.

For cleaning the metal surfaces the suitable diluent is DPM01

For cleaning the plastic surfaces the suitable diluent is DPP02

The product adheres directly to most common metals. If you need to coat stainless steel, pressed aluminium or other metal substrates with a particularly smooth, reflective surface, abrasive blasting or sanding are recommended to promote optimum adhesion.

Adhesion to plastics such as ABS, PS, PC and PVC has been proven by lab tests and in industrial applications. For other more difficult polymers, you may need to apply an adhesion–promoting primer, such as K54 Duracril.

Application

Shake the can very well for several seconds.

Apply at a the distance of 20-30cm from the object, with many layers, to achieve the thickness of 200 micron.

The product must be oven baked, at a temperature of 80°C for at least 60 minutes. Alternatively, you can use heat lamps or electric hot air blowers

Yield

0,5 m² with 1 spray can by applying a thickness of 250 µm.
