| MIROTHANE PU 5650/30 Satin mixed 1A: 1B with MIROTHANE PU 5747 Hardener. |
The coating system above passed the KCMA testing with only one undercoat and one topcoat applied in accordance with Mirotone's Data Sheets.
MIROLAC NC 3121 Universal Undercoat was applied between 150-175 micron WFT (Wet Film Thickness).
Based on the test results for satin MIROTHANE PU 5650, all other gloss levels in this PU coating are approved for kitchens when applied over MIROLAC NC 3121 Universal Undercoat.
Refer to separate topcoat Data Sheet for further application details.
Note: Mirotone highly recommends the use of two topcoats at all times to ensure that sharp edges and any areas where the undercoat has been sanded-through receive adequate film build and protection. Inadequate film build will lead to premature failure of the coating system. |

The coating complies with Building Code Specification C1.10 Fire Hazard Poperties for Class 2-9 buildings: General Requirements. However this product must not be used in public corridors, exit doors to fire-isolated stairway, passageway or ramp, Class 9a buildings (hospital, nursing home etc) in a patient-care-area or Class 9b buildings (public hall, in the auditorium etc) not protected by a sprinkler system.
The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess a fire hazard, but it should be recognised that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of the fire hazard under all fire conditions.

| Limitation of Liability |
The information contained in this Data Sheet is based on data appraised in our Laboratories and on our own research, and that of others whose work we believe is reliable. Due to possible differences between controlled laboratory test conditions and methods, and actual application conditions and methods, coupled with possible differences in interpretation of results, the user of this product must satisfy himself that the end result obtainable under his particular application conditions meets his requirements. Special attention is directed to the problem of chemical compatability, as Mirotone can control only the quality and formulation of its own materials. Mirotone has no control over quality, formulation or consistency of other manufacturers' products or the substrate to which its product is applied. Therefore Mirotone supplies its products only on condition that the consumer himself is satisfied as to the performance of the product in meeting his particular requirements. | |
