TRILAC - 747
Water Base Lacquer
 

Description:

Trilac - 747 is a water-born, air-drying, clear lacquer recommended to use on all type of metal surface, especially copper, Brass, Silver, Zinc & Cadmium or Aluminum. Trilac - 747 dries to a bright, crystal clear finish, which provides tarnish and corrosion resistance.

Advantages:

  • Non-flammable, very safe to use.
  • Excellent corrosion and tarnish protection.
  • Excellent adhesion.
  • Excellent solvent resistance and humidity resistance.
  • Hard, bright, crystal clear finish.
  • Air dries rapidly.
  • Reduces energy consumption.
  • Lowers clean-up coast.
  • Excellent water resistance.
  • Good to excellent resistance to salt spray test.
  • Good to excellent stain resistance.

Operating Conditions:

  • Trilac - 747 is supplied "READY-TO-GO" and can be sprayed using a conventional air or airless spray equipment.
  • To reduce the viscosity, use only tap water up to 50, depending on the thickness required and the shape of the part.
  • If foaming occurs during the mixing with water, allow to settle or skin off the surface before using.
  • Immersion time is 5-10 seconds and usually dries in air in 15-30 minutes. For fasterdrying, heat up to 180 F. Parts may be dipped WET since the lacquer is water soluble; however, the parts should be rinsed thoroughly before lacquering. The dip tank should be lined with a non-rusting material such as Stainless Steel, Fiberglass or Polypropylene
