Capalac BaseTop Gloss
The highly opaque window coating
Field of Application
High-quality one pot enamel for priming, intermediate and finishing coats on dimensionally stable wooden parts and on wood with only limited dimensional stability (except timber framing and façade cladding) and primed metal, exteriors and interiors.Ideally suitable for renovation on existing coatings without additional priming. On window folding shutters the use of protective paint Capadur Wetterschutzfarbe NQG/Matt is advisable. Do not use for garden and seating furniture. Do not apply white shades on heating systems to avoid yellowing
(apply Capalac Heizkörperlack instead).
Due to a typical smell of alkyd resin enamels the use of Capacryl TriMaXX Venti or PU-Satin/Gloss instead of Capalac BaseTop Gloss is advisable for large-area treatment of interior surfaces.
Material Properties
- Diffusion-capable
- High opacity (hiding/covering power) on surfaces and edges
- High filling capacity
- Fast drying
- Excellent weather resistance due to silicone modified alkyd resin
- Durable surface
- Resistant to normal household cleaners

Colours
White. Further colours available via the ColorExpress (Capalac mix) tinting machine system.A product typical yellowing of painted surfaces may occur on white and light/bright colour shades caused by UV radiation, heat or chemical influences due to e.g. ammonia vapour from cleaning agents, adhesives, paint or sealing compounds. This does not represent any product defects and cannot be objected.

Suitable Substrates
Primed wood and metal.Do not apply on andonized aluminium.
Substrates must be clean, sound/stable, dry and free from all substances that may prevent good adhesion. Max. permissible moisture content of dimensionally stable wood: 13 %, parts with only limited dimensional stability: 15 %.
Substrate Preparation
Wooden Parts:Sand the surface in fibre direction, clean thoroughly, remove seeping wood extractives, e.g. resins and resin galls, cut sharp edges (see BFS Data Sheet No. 18).
Iron, Steel:
Derust to industry standard SA 2 ½ (blasting) or ST3 (mechanically) as per DIN EN ISO 12944-4.
Aluminium (not anodised):
Clean with destined detergents, e.g. Gescha Multi-Star, then sand with a plastic abrasive fleece (see BFS Data Sheet No. 6)..
Existing Coats of Paint:
Sand the surface of existing non-thermoplastic coats slightly and/or treat with alkali.
Method of Application
Capalac BaseTop Gloss is ready-to-use and applicable with paint brush or roller. Stir well before use.
Guidelines for Spray Application:
| Ø Nozzle | Pressure | Thinning | Material Temperature | |
| Aircoat Tempspray | 0.011 - 0.013 inch | 180 - 200 bar | unthinned | 35 °C✱ |
✱ Note: Maximum allowable temperature for heating due to the flash point of Capalac BaseTop Gloss: 35 °C.
Aircoat spray application of product in delivered consistency is possible after heating treatment (Tempspray).

Consumption
| Brush application | Roller application | Spray application | |
| Consumption ml/m2 per coat | 80 - 100 | 70 - 90 | 100 - 120 |
Consumption is only a guide value and may vary, depending on substrate requirements. The exact consumption is best established by a trial coating on site.
Application Conditions
Lower Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:+5 °C for product, substrate and ambient air.
Drying/Drying Time
| At 20 °C and 65 % relative humidity | dust dry | dry to touch | recoatable |
| after hours | approx. 6 | 12 | 16 - 18 |
Lower temperatures and higher humidity or thick layers extend the drying time.
Tool Cleaning
Immediately after use with thinner for synthetic resin or white spirit.Special Risks (Hazard Note) / Safety Advice (Status as at Date of Publication)
Flammable liquid and vapor. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection. In case of fire: Use dry sand, dry chemical or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish. Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant. Contains: Reaction mass of bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate and methyl 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl sebacate, phthalic anhydride. Warning! Hazardous respirable droplets may be formed when sprayed. Do not breathe spray or mist.
Disposal
Materials and all related packaging must be disposed of in a safe way in accordance with the full requirements of the local authorities. Particular attention should be made to removing wastage from site in compliance with standard construction site procedures.In Germany: Only completely emptied cans/containers must be given for recycling. Dispose containers with residues of liquid product via waste collection point accepting old paints and enamels.
