High Temperature Clear Lacquer 500ml | 650C + | Crystal Clear Finish

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.

1. Prepare the surface
Remove all traces of oil or grease. Remove old paint and loose rust with steel wool or wire brush. Lightly sanding existing coatings with fine wet and dry paper (1200 – 1500 grit) will provide a
smoother base and subsequent higher gloss finish. Shake can thoroughly. Hold upright, and spray evenly onto the surface from a distance of 25 to 30cm. Apply typically 2 to 3 coats leaving 20 - 30 minutes between each application. Allow 24 hours to fully harden.

2. For application when over-coating
Where over-coating of a previously applied alkyd coating is suspected, always test for compatibility by applying several coats of clear lacquer in an inconspicuous area, and allow to dry
thoroughly to establish absence of wrinkling and other surface defects.

3. Storage & Reuse
To prevent blockages, invert the can after use and spray for 2 seconds. This aerosol should be stored out of direct sunlight, in a cool well ventilated place. Consult Safety Data Sheet for more information.
