Acrylic Urethane Waterborne Varnish Reducer

ALLPRO® Corporation
   Brandon, FL 33511

AP2450 - 30551
December, 1997

Description Ideal for use in situations where there is a need to improve flow and reduce the problem of bubbles, sagging and poor leveling. Under certain application methods or ambient conditions, waterborne coatings may require the addition of ALLPRO Reducer to improve flow and leveling, increasing the open time. Another benefit of ALLPRO Reducer is that it will not raise the wood grain or cause sagging as water does. Naturally, longer open time increases the total curing time of the coating.
