- fast drying;
- create a reliable and durable coating on any surface;

Acrylic lacquer, the price of which starts at 200 rubles, is used not only to protect the surface, but also to obtain decorative effects. It is optimally suited for wood, as its composition penetrates the pores and forms a dense film. It also has antiseptic properties, which prevents the appearance of mold and mildew.
What you need to know
Before applying the composition, it must beshake thoroughly. When applying two or more layers, if necessary, grinding can be performed. It is worth remembering that during the work the air temperature should be at least +5 degrees. To create a high-quality surface, acrylic gloss varnish during drying should not be exposed to ultraviolet radiation and drafts.

- Varnish with thermosetting oligomers (styrenes, acrylates and other substances). It creates an insoluble surface, film formation occurs in 30-50 minutes when exposed to high temperatures. There may be plasticizers that are dissolved using hydrocarbons, ketones and acetates.
- Composition based on thermoplastic and high molecular weight acrylates. Forms a reversible surface, the film is created within an hour at room temperature during the volatilization of soluble constituents.
Application features
Acrylic glossy varnish is applied most often withpneumatic spray, the electroplating method is used for waterborne formulations.
To obtain a uniform high-quality coating on wooden surfaces and reduce consumption, pre-treatment with a special primer or tinted impregnation.
The creation of a mirror surface is possible after wet grinding. That is, the base is polished after wetting and drying, only after that a primer is applied. It is also possible to obtain this effect by grinding all layers of varnish, except for the last one.
