About
Hardtop Optima is a polysiloxane topcoat with a durable, premium finish and excellent application properties. It has excellent colour- and gloss retention ensuring a long-lasting beautiful appearance. Excellent abrasion and chemical resistance contribute to keeping the beautiful finish. Hardtop Optima contains high-volume solids compared to traditional polyurethane, resulting in lower VOC per litre, and reducing the impact on the applicator and the environment. Hardtop Optima has excellent application properties with airless spray.
Hardtop Optima is ideal for sustainable projects targeting green building rating points like LEED v4 and BREEAM International. The topcoat does not contain isocyanates or generate di-isocyanates at elevated temperatures making it application- and work-friendly and a preferred topcoat for the HSE-conscious.
