Aquaclear Satin

Resene Aquaclear Satin is a waterborne urethane varnish designed to protect and enhance interior timber surfaces, providing a durable satin finish. It serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solventborne urethanes, emitting less odor and fewer harmful fumes.

Key Features:

• Finish: Satin sheen that enriches the natural appearance of timber.

• Application: Suitable for interior surfaces such as walls, ceilings, furniture, doors, and trim. It can be applied using a speed brush, bristle brush, or spray. Roller application is not recommended due to the potential for excessive foam formation.

• Environmental Consideration: As a waterborne product, it is low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a safer choice for both users and the environment.

• Drying Time: Dries quickly, allowing for easy recoating. However, it is advisable to avoid application at temperatures below 10°C or in high-temperature, low-humidity conditions to maintain a wet edge and ensure a smooth finish.

• Durability: Provides good resistance to wear and tear, suitable for areas with moderate foot traffic. For high-abrasion areas, such as floors, a more robust product like Resene Polythane is recommended.

Application Tips:

• Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.

• Apply evenly, avoiding overworking areas that have begun to set, as this can lead to a patchy finish.

• Typically, 3-4 coats are recommended for optimal protection, with light sanding between coats to achieve a smooth finish.

By choosing Resene Aquaclear Satin, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of interior timber while providing lasting protection.
