Product properties
The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
- Article number
- LAK002114
-
Gloss level indicates how much light a dry paint or coating reflects and how the finished surface looks.
- Matt: little reflection and a subdued appearance.
- Satin: a gentle sheen between matt and high gloss.
- High gloss: stronger reflections and a more pronounced colour, although surface imperfections may become more visible.
Gloss can be measured in gloss units (GU) at a specified angle. Terms such as matt and satin do not necessarily mean exactly the same thing across manufacturers. Substrate condition and application also affect the final appearance.
- Does not apply

The recommended layer thickness is the thickness at which you apply each coat of paint, coating or resin. It is usually given in micrometres (µm) or millimetres (mm).
- Wet film thickness: the thickness immediately after application.
- Dry film thickness: the thickness after drying or curing.
For a coating with 60% solids by volume, a wet film of 100 µm will theoretically produce a dry film of approximately 60 µm. Film thickness affects coverage, protection and drying. Always check whether the manufacturer specifies wet or dry film thickness.
- 80 µm wet (= 45 µm dry)
-
The recommended application temperature range indicates the conditions under which the product can generally be applied and cured properly. Three temperatures matter:
- Air: the temperature in the workshop or outdoors.
- Substrate: the temperature of the surface being treated.
- Product: the temperature of the resin, adhesive or coating itself.
A cold substrate can cause condensation and affect adhesion. At higher temperatures, two-component products may react faster, reducing their working time. Check the dew point and follow the product instructions.
- 10-30 °C
-
The chemical base describes the chemistry of an adhesive, sealant, resin or coating, such as epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, (methyl)methacrylate or a hybrid polymer. It affects curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products with the same chemical base are not necessarily suitable for the same applications.
- modified epoxy ester resin
-
Density describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Values may be given in g/cm³, kg/L or kg/m³; 1 g/cm³ equals 1 kg/L. For example, one litre of a liquid with a density of 1.2 kg/L weighs approximately 1.2 kg. Density helps convert between weight and volume, but it can vary with temperature.
- 1.250 g/dm³ (20 °C)
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- At least 36 months
-
Humidity during application is given as relative humidity, usually in percent (% RH). It indicates how much water vapour the air contains compared with the maximum it can hold at that temperature. Excessive humidity can interfere with drying or adhesion of some coatings. Also check that the substrate is dry enough and free from condensation.
- 50% - 85%
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- 2 hours (20 °C)
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- 8 m²/L
-
A specific thinner that can be used, where permitted, to adjust a product's application properties or viscosity. The correct thinner and maximum quantity depend on the product. Incorrect thinning can affect coverage, drying and curing.
- Brush: Epifanes Brush Thinner, Spray: Epifanes 1C Spray Thinner (conventional) or Epifanes D-100 (airless)
- Net contents
- 3 kg, 750 g, 750 ml
-
The application or processing methods specified by the manufacturer, such as brushing, rolling, spraying, casting or hand laminating. The chosen method can affect consumption, layer thickness and finish.
- Brush, Spray, Pile roller
-
Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 180-240 minutes (at 20 °C)
-
VOC content (volatile organic compounds) indicates the amount of these substances in a product, usually expressed in g/L (grams per litre). They may evaporate during application and drying. The value describes the composition, but actual exposure also depends on how much is used, ventilation and the application method.
- 435 g/L
