PTL202
PTL202 PU gloss lacquer (100 gloss) for funeral products
Two-pack clear high-gloss (100 gloss) polyurethane lacquer cured with PC72. Deep gloss with a full 'lens' that doesn't sink into sanding scratches, good hardness and fast drying — ready to pack/stack in under 24 h. Thixotropic, so it holds well on vertical surfaces. The 2025–26 catalogue positions it as a lacquer for funeral products; the dealer lists high-gloss finishing of furniture fronts and panels in various wood species and MDF, 'also suitable for making funeral products'.
- funeral products (coffins) — clear high-gloss finish
- high-gloss furniture fronts

Lay a full wet coat — dry spray on a 100-gloss finish shows as orange peel. Stir well before use (thixotropic). In hot weather add S100/S101 at 5–10 % on top of the S70 (dealer).
Conventional spray

- Spray viscosity
- 18–22 s DIN4 / VZ-4recommended
- Consumption
- 120–150 g/m²dealer
Transfer efficiency up to 40 % per the official methods page, so actual usage is higher than the nominal g/m².

Officially Airmix suits topcoats better than Airless.
Airless
- Nozzle
- 0.28–0.33 mmrecommended
- Pressure · fluid
- 80–120 barrecommended
- Consumption

For coffin production lines; Airmix gives a better gloss finish. Airless is not officially specified for PTL202.
Electrostatic
Possible with any gun type per the official methods page; settings follow the base method. Resistivity of the thinned lacquer isn't published — test first.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Flat, fully sanded primer (polyester or PU), final sand P320–P400 plus pads, de-dust and tack-rag. Over stain only once the stain is fully dry.recommended
- Goes over
- ETS50
- Sanding · Before
- P320–P400 on primerrecommended
- Sanding · Between coats
- P400–P600recommended
- Sanding · Polishing
- not earlier than 3 days after the final coat, P1500–P3000 then compoundrecommended
- Temperature and humidity · Application
- 18–25 °Crecommended
- Temperature and humidity · Forced drying
- drying booth 20 °C, 8–12 h after the gloss PU topcoatschedule
- Don'ts
- don't spray over an unsanded or dusty primer — 100 gloss shows every speck
- don't use the mix past its 6 h pot life
- don't use fast thinners — the slow S70 is what lets it flow out
- don't use on pale woods that must stay pale — PC72 yellows
- don't pack before 24 h
- don't polish before 3 days
- don't use without stirring — it's thixotropic
Storage
- Packaging

- Shelf life
- ≈12 months in the sealed original canrecommended
- Storage temperature
- +5…+25 °C, dry, away from heat and sunrecommended
Safety: Two-pack solvent-borne polyurethane; the PC72 hardener contains isocyanates. Spray only in a ventilated booth with an A2P3 respirator (or air-fed mask), gloves and eye protection. Flammable — keep away from flames and sparks. (Generic 2K PU guidance; no Technocolor SDS found.)
