Permalac Original is a water-clear, fast-drying solvent-based lacquer that bonds direct-to-substrate (no primer needed) on bare or painted metal, wood, stone, fiberglass, and masonry. The cured film carries UV inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, and temperature stabilizers - rated for service through freezing temperatures, desert heat, salt air, and acid rain. The matte sheen kills reflection entirely while staying water-clear over your substrate - ideal when you want the protection without changing the look of an antique patina, raw weathered steel, or aged wood.

• Direct-to-substrate adhesion - no primer needed on bare/painted metal, wood, stone, fiberglass, or masonry
• UV and corrosion inhibitors plus temperature stabilizers - holds up indoors, outdoors, marine, and industrial
• Flexible film does not crack when metal is bent or flexed - safe over circuit breakers, electrical components, and formed sheet metal
• Excellent adhesion over polished and patinated copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, iron, steel, and stainless
• Mold and mildew protection helps prevent short circuits on electrical assemblies and biological staining on porous substrates
• Matte finish - flat, non-reflective sheen, water-clear over the substrate
• 1 quart covers approximately 100 sq ft per coat; brush, roll, or HVLP spray
• Fast-drying - re-coat in 30-45 minutes; check the technical data sheet for full cure time

Tip: Permalac Original is solvent-based - work in a well-ventilated area, wear an organic-vapor respirator (not just a dust mask) and chemical-resistant nitrile gloves. Two thin coats outperform one heavy coat; allow 30-45 minutes between coats and check the technical data sheet for full re-coat and full-cure windows. Thin only with high-grade lacquer thinner if needed - do not use mineral spirits.
