1. What is JENOLITE High Temperature Clear Lacquer?
It is a specially formulated topcoat that provides a crystal-clear, non-yellowing satin finish with heat resistance up to 650°C. Quick-drying and durable, it seals, protects, and enhances painted surfaces on metal, ceramics, and other materials.
2. Which surfaces can it be used on?
- Painted surfaces
- Metal (steel, aluminum, etc.)
- Ceramics
- Other heat-resistant materials
3. What are the main benefits?
- Extreme heat resistance: Survives temperatures exceeding 650°C.
- Crystal-clear finish: Maintains clarity, keeping the underlying surface vibrant.
- Corrosion protection: Shields surfaces from rust, corrosion, and degradation.
- UV protection: Guards against sun-induced fading and damage, ideal for outdoor use.
- Multi-surface compatibility: Works on metal, ceramics, and painted surfaces.
- Easy application: Smooth, professional finish in 2–3 coats.
- Made in Britain: Ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.
4. How do I prepare the surface?
- Remove oil, grease, loose paint, and rust.
- Lightly sand existing coatings using 1200–1500 grit wet or dry sandpaper for a smoother, higher gloss finish.
- Shake the can thoroughly before use.
5. How should I apply the lacquer?
- Hold the can upright and spray evenly from 25–30 cm.
- Apply 2–3 thin coats, leaving 20–30 minutes between each coat.
- Allow 24 hours for full curing.
6. Can it be applied over existing coatings?
Yes. When over-coating previously applied alkyd or other coatings, test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. Look for any wrinkling or defects before full application.
7. How should I store the spray can?
- Invert the aerosol and spray for 2 seconds after use to clear the nozzle.
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight.
8. What are the ideal working conditions?
- Ambient temperature: 10°C–25°C
- Use in a well-ventilated area
9. How long does the finish last?
Once fully cured, the lacquer provides long-lasting protection against heat, corrosion, and UV damage, while maintaining a crystal-clear satin finish.
10. Safety considerations
Always follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) instructions. Use in a well-ventilated space and avoid inhaling aerosol vapours.
