Is adding hardener optional or required?

For MODU T, MODU B, NORDIC, NORDIC B and STANDARD adding hardener is optional. These lacquers can be applied as ready-to-use 1-component lacquers or as a 2-component system with OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2.

For TOP and AUTHENTIC require hardener for application.

What does adding hardener do?

Through additional cross-linking, OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2 increases the chemical and mechanical resistance of the lacquer surface. Optional 2-component application is therefore suitable for uses with more demanding resistance requirements. Approved applications depend on the specific lacquer.

Why can't I find all compatible lacquers in the shop?

The product ranges differ between the consumer and business customer shops. Currently, the consumer shop offers OLI-AQUA NORDIC and NORDIC B . Other compatible furniture, stair, color and parquet lacquers are available in the business customer shop.

The technical suitability of OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2 applies regardless of which shop offers the approved lacquer.

Do I need to order the hardener separately?

For optional 2-component application of MODU T, MODU B, NORDIC, NORDIC B and STANDARD OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2 must be ordered separately.

For TOP and AUTHENTIC Check the contents of the selected container: hardener already included does not need to be ordered separately.

How much hardener should I add?

The mixing ratio is 10 parts lacquer to 1 part hardener. The amount of hardener is based on the quantity of unmixed base lacquer.

• 100 ml hardener for 1 liter lacquer
• 250 ml hardener for 2.5 liters lacquer
• 500 ml hardener for 5 liters lacquer
• 2 × 500 ml hardener for 10 liters lacquer

Follow the mixing ratio exactly and observe the application instructions for the relevant lacquer.

Can I mix smaller quantities?

Yes. The mixing ratio 10 parts lacquer to 1 part hardeneralso applies to partial quantities. For 1 liter of lacquer, you need 100 ml of hardener.

Measure the quantities precisely using a suitable measuring vessel. Mix only as much material as can be applied within the stated pot life.

How do I mix in OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2 correctly?

Stir or shake the base lacquer thoroughly in accordance with its technical data sheet. Then add the measured amount of hardener and mix carefully until homogeneous.

Refer to the technical data sheet for the lacquer in question for the required mixing procedure and any waiting times before application. The pot life begins when the hardener is added.

How long can I use the mixed lacquer?

For OLI-AQUA NORDIC and NORDIC B have a pot life of up to 3 hours. For the other approved lacquers, follow the application time stated in the relevant technical data sheet.

Do not use the mixture after the pot life has expired. Even if the lacquer still appears liquid, its pot life may already have expired.

Can I continue using mixed 2K lacquer the next day?

No. Once the hardener has been added, the mixture can only be used within the stated pot life. Closing the container does not extend this time. Prepare a fresh mixture for the next working day.

Will adding more hardener make the surface even more resistant?

Adding a greater amount of hardener is not recommended. The specified mixing ratio of 10 parts lacquer to 1 part hardener must be maintained.

Accurate measuring, thorough mixing, and application within the stated pot life are essential for the desired result.

Is additional diisocyanate training required?

OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2 contains less than 0.1% diisocyanate monomers and is therefore not subject to the corresponding REACH training requirement for diisocyanates. The required protective measures and information in the current safety data sheet must still be observed.

How should I store OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2?

Store the hardener in a cool, dry, frost-free place at +5 °C to +30 °C Protect it from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

In its unopened original container, the shelf life is 6 months. Reseal opened containers tightly immediately after each use. These storage instructions apply to unmixed hardener; the stated pot life applies to lacquer that has already been mixed.
