- Resistant to pool water
- NPG quality topcoat
- Pool finish
Product description
High-quality NPG topcoat is specially developed for swimming pools. It contains pigments that are more resistant to the effects of chlorinated water, ensuring that the colour remains vibrant for a long time. The NPG polyester topcoat is available in popular colours commonly used for pools.
Whether you want to finish a new pool or renovate an existing polyester pool, this topcoat provides a perfect solution. For renovations, first sand the surface with P60 grit, degrease thoroughly, and then apply the topcoat. The finish of this product is semi-gloss with a light, subtle texture.
Features of the NPG topcoat
- Slightly thixotropic; prevents sagging on vertical surfaces.
- Pre-accelerated.
- Fast curing.
- Good coverage and filling capacity.
- Dries tack-free.
- High resistance to chemicals, including chlorine.

The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.
- Laminate
-
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.
- 300-400 µm (dry)
-
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.
- 3-6 months
-
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
- 15 °C
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 24-48 hours
-
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.
- Approximately 300-400 g/m²
- Net contents
- 25 kg, 5.5 kg
-
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 20 minutes (at 20 °C)
-
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.
- Silk gloss / Satin
-
Dosage indicates how much additive, filler or auxiliary material is added to a base product. It is often given as a percentage (%), grams per kilogram (g/kg) or a ratio between components. Check whether the percentage is based on the resin, hardener or total mixture weight. Adding too much or too little can change the product's properties.
- MEKP hardener: 2%
- Colour
- RAL colours
