Clear Polyurethane Protective Coating for Industrial Surfaces
ALTIC HR-PU CLEAR is a clear polyurethane-based protective coating designed to provide a transparent protective finish over suitable industrial surfaces and coating systems. It can be used where surface protection is required while maintaining the underlying appearance of the substrate or base coating.
The clear PU coating forms a protective film that can help improve resistance to everyday environmental exposure, surface contamination and wear, depending on the selected system and service conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
- Clear polyurethane protective coating
- Maintains the appearance of the underlying surface
- Provides a transparent protective finish
- Helps protect coated surfaces from environmental exposure
- Supports improved surface durability
- Suitable for industrial maintenance and protection applications
- Can be incorporated into compatible multi-coat systems
- Useful where a clear protective finish is required
Recommended Applications
ALTIC HR-PU CLEAR can be considered for suitable applications such as:
- Industrial painted surfaces
- Metal and fabricated structures
- Machinery and equipment
- Protective coating systems
- Industrial components
- Architectural and decorative surfaces
- Maintenance and refurbishment projects
- Suitable surfaces requiring a transparent protective layer
Surface Preparation
The performance of a clear polyurethane coating depends significantly on proper surface preparation.
Before application:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust.
- Remove grease, oil and other contaminants.
- Ensure the underlying coating is properly cured and firmly bonded.
- Remove loose or damaged coating areas where necessary.
- Lightly abrade the existing coating if required for intercoat adhesion.
- Remove all sanding dust before application.
- Ensure compatibility between ALTIC HR-PU Clear and the underlying coating.
For previously coated surfaces, a small compatibility test is recommended before full-scale application.
Application Method
ALTIC HR-PU Clear should be thoroughly mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
Depending on the product formulation and project requirements, it may be applied using a suitable brush, roller or spray application method.
Apply an even coat without excessive buildup. Allow the coating to dry or cure for the specified period before applying additional coats or exposing the surface to service conditions.

The exact number of coats, application thickness, thinner requirement, drying time and recoat interval should be confirmed from the latest product TDS.
Advantages of a Clear PU Finish
A clear protective topcoat can be useful when the appearance of the underlying surface or coating needs to remain visible. Instead of covering the existing finish with an opaque coating, a transparent protective layer can provide an additional coating stage while retaining the visual character of the substrate.
This makes clear polyurethane coatings useful for selected industrial, maintenance and decorative applications where both appearance and protection are important.
Important Application Considerations
Before application, verify:
- Substrate compatibility
- Compatibility with the existing coating
- Required surface preparation
- Environmental conditions
- Required number of coats
- Drying and curing requirements
- Final service conditions
Do not apply over contaminated, loose or poorly bonded surfaces.
For exact chemical resistance, heat resistance, gloss, DFT, coverage, drying time, mixing ratio and application procedure, refer to the latest ALTIC Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
Safety & Handling
Use suitable personal protective equipment during application. Provide adequate ventilation and avoid unnecessary contact with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling, storage, application and disposal requirements.
Why Choose ALTIC HR-PU Clear?
ALTIC HR-PU Clear is designed for applications requiring a transparent polyurethane protective finish without unnecessarily changing the appearance of the underlying surface. It can be incorporated into suitable industrial coating systems where an additional clear protective layer is required.
