1042 Highlighter

PearlGlaze™ is a breakthrough system for applying colour to glass. Unlike conventional coating systems, PearlGlaze™ is purely designed for adhesion to glass. Solid colours, pearlescents and metallics are all available!

Each product in the PearlGlaze™ range is being extensively used for fashionable float, textured and plain glass panels and tiles. 1040, 1042, 1044 and 1046 can all be used for kitchen splashbacks, toughened countertops, glass furniture, feature walls and countless other interior commercial applications where a coloured or translucent glass surface is appropriate.

There are 6 Highlighter bases available as standard. Thse specialised base finishes have virtually unlimited possibilities but are dependent on the 1040 backing colour used. Due to the difficulty in presenting this finish on the web, samples of the highlighter bases are available for experimentation.

Preparation:

Before spraying, clean glass thoroughly and air dry surface before using 920S Ad Pro Solvent. Do not use methylated spirits (or any other solvent) as a substitute to 920S Adpro, as this will affect the adhesion performance of 1040 to the glass substrate. Wash glass thoroughly with 920S Adpro, maintaining a wet film on the surface of the glass for at least 10 to 15 minutes. (This can be done by spray bottle or Adpro saturated clean rag and working the film with the wet rag. After the elapse of 10 to 15 minutes, clean surface with a dry clean lint free cloth, making sure all solvent is removed and there are no streaks or smudges.

If you require more cleaning techniques contact the EVIC Technical department.

Application for Use:

Step 1: Highlighter - carefully apply PearlGlaze Highlighter (thinned with 920S Adpro solvent) in 2 double header cross coats, allowing flash off time between coats and changing direction for each pass. The secret to achieving stunning highlights is using consistent and even application. Since Highlighter can be hard to see, especially on textured glass, resist the temptation to apply extra coats, as this will diminish the overall effect.

Once mixed, the PearlGlaze Highlighter mixture should be maintained by swirling a marble in the suction pot or continually using mild agitation. Allow to dry, or bake according to the Data Sheet (see BAKING), prior to "backing" with Solid Colour.

Step 2: Solid Colour (over Highlighter) - carefully apply Solid Colour over the dried Highlighter film in 2-3 double header coats (as required for opacity), allowing flash off time between and changing direction for each pass. This achieves even and consistent opacity for the backing coat.

If applicaable, ensure deep valleys and sharp peals common to textured glass are covered sufficiently. Some colours may require extra coats to ensure opacity. Allow to dry or bake according to the Data Sheet (see BAKING).
