NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating is a clear, ready-to-use coating that protects non-absorbent surfaces against graffiti, dirt, weathering and corrosion. Based on a patented polysilazane technology, NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating forms a permanent barrier layer that bonds chemically with the substrate and cures at room temperature with atmospheric humidity.
The surface protected with NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating can be cleaned repeatedly without reapplying the product.
USE
NewPro X-Dur 37 is particularly suitable for smooth, non-absorbent surfaces, such as one- or two-component paints (polyurethane or epoxy systems), polyester paints, GRP surfaces, but furthermore particularly for metal surfaces like aluminum, zinc, stainless steel, copper und several alloys (e.g. brass and bronze).
Typical applications for NewPro X-Dur 37 are surfaces like
• Aluminum rims
• Tank equipment and industrial plants (inside and outside)
• Traffic signs
• Ventilating systems
• Marble and granite (polished)
PRODUCT APPLICATION/TOOLS
NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating is supplied ready-to-use.
Depending on the substrate NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating can be applied with microfiber applicators or paint rollers (microfiber-flocking). The product is also suitable for spray application.
Spray application:
Process: HVLP-compressed air
Spray gun: e.g. SATA minijet HVLP
Working pressure: ca. 2–3 bar
Nozzles: 0.8–1.3 mm
The spray gun can be cleaned with n-butyl acetate, for example.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The product should be applied by trained personnel only. Test on a small area or apply a test coat before application.
CONDITION OF SUBSTRATE
The substrate to be coated must be clean, grease-free and absolutely dry. Areas which are difficult to reach, such as cavities or drainage channels etc. must be dried additionally with absorbent cloths or blown dry with compressed air. On contact with a damp substrate surface, NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating reacts prematurely and cannot form a permanent seal. The substrate temperature must be between + 5°C and + 30°C, the relative humidity at 30 %-80 %.
APPLICATION
NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating must be applied at an ambient temperature of at least + 5°C and a relative humidity of 30 %- 80%. Avoid direct sunlight! Apply the coating in dry conditions and never in rain. The coating is applied with an applicator. Any mistakes can be rectified within approx. 10 min of application.
After this the repellent effect of NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating makes it impossible to apply another coat. The average coverage is ca. 15 ml/m2 and this should not be significantly exceeded. During application, only small quantities should be decanted from the original container into the application container. Residues of unused NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating should not be returned from the application container to the original container. Traces of water in the applicator should also be avoided. Applicators dampened with water should not be used. If dirt appears on the applicators during coating, they should be replaced with clean applicators to avoid dirt entering the NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating.
The applicators cannot be reused once the coating has been applied. If the solution in the application container solidifies or a deposit forms, it can no longer be used. Solutions that are no longer useable must be disposed of properly. NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating is dry-to-touch after about one hour.
The recommended curing conditions (until water resistant) are:
- Room temperature: 8–12 hours
- 80°C: two hours
- 130°C – 180°C: one hour
The NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating coating is fully effective after 5–7 days' curing at room temperature.
On metal surfaces such as aluminum, steel and stainless steel, curing at > 80°C is recommended to achieve optimum adhesion to the substrate.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions on the accompanying Safety Data Sheet must always be followed.
CLEANING AND GRAFFITI REMOVAL
Surfaces coated with NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating should be cleaned with cleaners in the pH range 3–12. Strong (mineral) acids or alkalis should be avoided and are also unnecessary as neutral cleaners are generally sufficient to clean vehicles coated with NewPro X-Dur 37 Coating.
Graffiti should always be removed from the coated surfaces as soon as possible. Conventional graffiti removers can be used.
