Our Color-Dec DOMES polyurethane resin
is a two components, 100% reactive, room temperature
curing product. It does not contain solvents or any
other volatile materials. It produces a clear, protective
and attractive coating. The thickness is usually in
the range of 1,5 – 2 mm and it produces a three dimensional
lensing effect, mostly thick and glossy but matt or
thin finishes are also possible.
The DOMES resin has a very good resistance
to weathering and ultraviolet light and thus performs
extremely well in outdoor applications. The outdoor
resin was developed specifically to satisfy the auto
industry's specifications. The outdoor use resin is
guaranteed against yellowing when exposed to sunlight
for a period of five years, provided that the resin
is utilized within six months from the date of manufacturing
and that our stock conditions are respected. Some
of our resins are intended for indoor applications
only. This is primarily because they have poor resistance
to ultraviolet light and weathering.
Documents issued
by an external laboratory showing tests and results
in this field are available on our customers’ request.
Since the resin is only one part of the complex package
it is not possible to get automotive approval for
the resin "per se". It is necessary for
the label manufacturer to submit and get approval
on his stock with his inks. The resin has passed all
the major automotive companies' testing.
