WOOD STAIN

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Stewart Aircraft Finishing Systems Wood Stain is a water based stain developed to meet the wood industry’s new environmental standards. Stewart Systems WOOD STAIN is a low VOC product that offers the advantages of a deep penetrating pigment and low grain raising properties. The stain was developed to act as a stain and primary sealer. The resins help the product to dry quickly (eliminating excessive grain raise) and seal the wood to help repel water. The stain is carried in a special resin, which does not allow the pigment to chalk off like most stains. After staining, the stain area should be coated with a sanding sealer or top coated with Stewart Systems One Part Polyurethane. Unlike most stains on the market, Stewart Systems WOOD STAIN can be top-coated with a water base or solvent base coating

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES

Stewart Systems WOOD STAIN is a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound), high performance production coating. It is considered non-hazardous by EPA definitions and does not contain lead or chromates. The solid and semi-solid sludge produced in spraying and clean up can be flocculated; dried and sent to a "Class B" landfill. Check with your local and state regulations for proper handling.

Stewart Systems SANDING SEALER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Stewart Aircraft Finishing Systems SANDING SEALER is a water based wood sealer used to fill the grain. This product is a high performance aliphatic polyurethane with enough solids to produce a high build coating, which can be sanded easily. Polyurethane, by itself, is too hard to sand without leaving scratches. Aircraft Finishing Systems SANDING SEALER should be applied only on bare, clean wood or over Aircraft Finishing Systems water base stain. Do not apply over solvent or oil base stains. When the sanding sealer has dried and is sanded, you can apply Aircraft Finishing Systems One Part Polyurethane as a high gloss or satin finish. The finished product will give a solvent resistant flexible finish with a very high DOI (Depth of Image).

ONE-PART POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT

[CHARACTERISTICS] [USES] [AIR QUALITY DATA] [PHYSICAL DATA] [PERFORMANCE DATA] [SPECIFICATIONS] [APPLICATION]

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
STEWART AIRCRAFT FINISHING SYSTEMS ONE-PART POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT is a waterborne polyurethane. When the customer receives Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE, it is already formed in the container, where as in the solvent base type, the polyurethane is formed on the substrate. Therefore, once the paint is applied on the substrate, the film properties of Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE rival that of other two component catalyzed systems. Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE offers outstanding coverage, excellent durability, and ease of application as well as being a low VOC and EPA compliant coating.

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES
Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT is non-hazardous by EPA definitions. It does not contain lead or chromates. The solid and semi-solid sludge produced in spraying and clean up can be flocculated; dried and sent to a "Class B" landfill. Check with your local and state regulations for proper handling.

• Coatings can be applied in a wide range of temperature and humidity without the use of retarders
• Linear flexibility is excellent on substrates such as Lexan, vinyl, and fiberglass
• Deionized water is used for reduction
• Excellent performance on most plastics
• Water is used for clean-up

SPECIFICATIONS

• METALS: Surface must be free of grease, oil, dirt, and other foreign matter. Oxidation material must be removed or converted with Stewart Systems STEEL CONVERSION COATING. Priming with Stewart Systems PRIMER SEALER or Stewart Systems WATERBORNE 2-PART EPOXY PRIMER is recommended. For compatibility with other primers, contact Aircraft Finishing Systems.
• PLASTICS: Good adhesion on most plastics. There are no solvents in Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT to soften the substrate. Other plastic substrates must be evaluated. For good primer adhesion on plastics, use Stewart Systems SEALER.
• WOOD: Surface must be dry, sanded and dust free. Oil stains may not be used. For information on approved water base stains and sanding sealer, contact Aircraft Finishing Systems.

APPLICATION

• Spraying - reduce with deionized water to 20-25 seconds DuPont M50.
• Brushing or rolling: reduce with deionized water to 30-38 seconds DuPont M50.
• Stir contents before use. Never shake or stir under high agitation.
• Shelf life: 1+ years.
• Apply with standard equipment-pressure or suction feed, air assisted airless, HVLP, LVLP or electrostatic. Atomization pressure depends on viscosity.

CLEAN-UP WITH WATER

• If the paint dries, solvents may have to be used for clean up. If the spray equipment is not stainless steel, it is recommended to purge the gun with a solvent.

WEATHEROMETER

• QUV testing was run using the following cycles: 4 hours UV @131^oF/55^oC, followed by 4 hours of condensation @ 104^oF/40^oC with 30-minute cooling/dry off cycle. When Stewart Systems ONE-PART POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT is compared to a two-component catalyzed polyurethane, the initial gloss is about 28% less than the two component systems. However, the gloss can be improved by 20% with a clear coat. After a 1003.1-hour weatherometer test, the gloss exceeded other two component systems by 10-15%.
