Createx 4030 Balancing Clear is a clear, water-based, urethane paint which is useful in several applications. Add 4030 Balancing Clear 10% per volume to any of the Createx paints to optimise flow or to increase adhesion and durability on hard or non-porous surfaces. 4030 Balancing Clear can also be used as a carrier for Candy2o Paints to decrease concentration when airbrushing or be sprayed alone as a clear inter-coat/base coat which dries to a satin finish.
1) Mix Additive:
Mix with any Createx paint to create an acrylic-urethane paint.
Adding 4030 to Createx paints:
- Improves adhesion and durability (mar resistance)
- Improves levelling and edge retention
- Decreases surface tension allowing for heavier coats without cratering and improves levelling
- Reduces drying times
4030 is generally added 10% per volume to Createx paints.
- Refer to candy2o tech data sheet for candy mix ratios.
- Scenix Mural & Theme Paint and AutoBorne Sealer do not require 4030 for improved performance.
4030 is a resin and may be added in any ratio without affecting adhesion. Adding 4030 to paint increases transparency. Add 4030 to paint, then dilute with 4011 Reducer. After mixing, allow paint 10 minutes to acclimate to additives for optimum spray performance.
2) Inter-coat Clear:
4030 may be used as a clear. While not intended as a top-coat clear for automotive refinishing, it works well as an inter-coat for taping & masking over for graphic applications.
When fully cured, 4030 is a water-resistant clear that is suitable for prolonged exposure to exterior conditions.
Application:
When applied as a clear, 4030 is best thinned ~ 5% with 4011 Reducer and applied in medium coats.
Apply 2 – 3 coats with a 50/50 overlapping pattern for pin-hole free coverage.
- Airbrush – 0.5mm ~ 25 - 30 psi
- Spray-gun – 1.2mm – 1.3mm ~ 18 – 22 psi inlet
