KTM-SV Water-Based Spar Varnish wood finish is a waterborne, oil modified, self-crosslinking Urethane system. It features high quality, low film yellowing, excellent chemical, mar and scuff resistance, and is specifically designed for finishing wood. Because of its inherent oil urethane characteristics the user can expect excellent flow, leveling and penetration into porous wood surfaces. Applied by spray or brush, maintaining high solids in the coating allows for good film build and fewer coats to apply. For exterior use, a minimum of three 3.5-4.0 wet mil coats are recommended. This will provide maximum protection for the wood surface. (Very porous substrates may require the use of a sanding sealer to seal surface prior to application.)

Also recommended is the use of a base color, such as our compatible KTM Stains to reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation onto the wood substrate. Another nice feature is the fast dry times at ambient temperatures, which allow multiple coats per day reducing lengthy drying schedules, which other systems offer. Our one pack, KTM-SV system, self-crosslinks by air oxidation at ambient temperatures thereby assuring chemical resistance and durability of the coating. Typical application and performance properties of KTM-SV, as supplied, are described in Tables I through Table V on the enclosed PDF document.
