National Paints 18L Synthetic Enamel 800 - White

National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II has several key features, including high gloss, resistance to cracks and abrasion, excellent washability, a tough and flexible film, good adhesion and durability, and fast drying properties. It also has excellent opacity and can hide minor surface imperfections.

National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II is recommended as a protective coating on interior and exterior surfaces like metal, wood, and other substrates. It is suitable for painting heavy equipment, vehicle repainting, superstructures, cranes, bridges, pipelines, and more in mild industrial environments.

National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II has a volume solids content of 50 ± 2%, a specific gravity of 1.10 ± 0.05 for white and pastel shades, and a theoretical spreading rate of 16.5 - 12.5 m²/L. The recommended dry film thickness is 30-40 microns per coat. The product has good flexibility and a flash point of 28°C.

National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. Depending on the application method, the paint should be thinned by 5-10% with National GP Thinner. An atomizing pressure of 50 psi is required for conventional spray, while for airless spray, a pressure of 2000-2200 psi and a nozzle size of 0.018"-0.020" is recommended.

For metal surfaces, the recommended paint system is 1 coat of National Red Oxide Primer (40 microns DFT), 1 coat of National Synthetic Undercoat (40 microns DFT), followed by 2 coats of National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II (40 microns DFT per coat). A suitable primer should be used before the topcoat application for non-ferrous metal surfaces.

National Synthetic Enamel Gloss II has a touch dry time of 2-3 hours, a dry-to-recoat time of 8-10 hours, and a hard dry time of 24 hours when applied at 30°C. Drying time may vary depending on temperature, humidity, air movement, film thickness, and number of coats.

National Paints Synthetic Enamel is a high-performance finish designed for interior and exterior surfaces. It provides a durable, chip- and abrasion-resistant coating with low VOC, suitable for high-traffic and high-moisture areas.

It is suitable for interior and exterior walls, as well as wood, metal, masonry, and concrete surfaces, provided the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared.

The enamel is offered in a wide range of colors and finishes. You can select a sheen level (e.g., gloss or semi-gloss) to match your design and performance needs.

The formulation delivers good resistance to moisture, mildew, UV fading, and general weathering, making it a solid choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed where required. Stir thoroughly before use, apply with your preferred method (brush, roller, or spray), and avoid heavy coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats as indicated on the product label.

Priming is advised on bare wood, metal, or highly porous surfaces. On previously painted surfaces, inspect adhesion, lightly sand, clean, and then apply the enamel.

For optimal durability, follow the guidance on the product label regarding the number of coats and drying times. Drying can be affected by temperature and humidity, so adjust accordingly.

Coverage depends on surface porosity and application method. Check the product can for the stated coverage rate per liter for your specific surface.
