Novol 38043 Novakryl HS 2+1 Acrylic Clearcoat - 1 Litre
The Novol 38043 Novakryl HS is a professional-grade, High Solid (HS) two-component clearcoat designed for a premium, long-lasting automotive finish. Engineered for both spot repairs and full-body refinishing, this clearcoat is celebrated for its superior gloss depth, excellent flow, and high resistance to environmental factors.
With its high concentration of solid particles, Novakryl HS provides a thick, protective film with fewer coats, ensuring a showroom-quality shine that is both scratch-resistant (SR) and UV-stable.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Solid (HS) Content: Offers exceptional build and coverage, meaning you achieve a deeper, more mirror-like finish with less material.
- Scratch Resistant (SR) Technology: Formulated to resist fine scratches and car wash swirls, keeping the vehicle looking newer for longer.
- Superior Flow & Leveling: The clearcoat levels out beautifully during application, significantly reducing "orange peel" and the need for heavy polishing.
- UV & Weather Protection: Advanced resins prevent yellowing or fading caused by intense sunlight, road salt, and industrial pollutants.
- Fast Curing & Easy Polishing: Despite its hardness, Novakryl HS is designed to be polished easily shortly after curing, streamlining the final detailing stage.
- Versatile Application: Fully compatible with all major solvent-based and waterborne basecoats available on the market.
Application Pro Tips
- The "1.5 Coat" Technique: For many technicians, one light "mist" coat followed by a full "wet" coat is enough to achieve the perfect finish, saving time in the booth.
- Hardener Choice: Match your hardener to the environment. Use a Fast hardener for small panels/cold days and a Standard or Slow hardener (like H5120) for larger surfaces or warmer temperatures.
- Flash-off Time: Allow 5-10 minutes between coats (at 20°C) to ensure the solvents evaporate properly, preventing solvent pop or "die-back" of the gloss.
Why Choose Novakryl HS?
The 38043 Novakryl HS strikes the perfect balance between ease of use and professional durability. It is "forgiving" enough for enthusiasts but delivers the high-end, durable results required by top-tier body shops. It is the ideal choice when you want that "liquid glass" look on everything from daily drivers to restoration projects.
