Polyurethane clear coat is a finish that requires no introduction, water-based polyurethane is a special one. It is eco-friendly and convenient to use. It can often be found on floors, furniture, and crafts to add shine. The clear coat prevents the surfaces from scratches, and stains or spills will not leave a water damage. And since it is water-based, it dries quickly and smells less than other kinds of finishes. At Dongxu we’re all about premium quality, and we believe that using a high-quality water-based polyurethane clear coat can make all the difference in how your projects will look and how they’ll last. For instance, we offer the DOXU-6200 HDI Non-Ionic Waterborne Isocyanate Hardener (Improved) which complements our polyurethane products effectively.
In water based polyurethane clear coats, preparation is the key to a lasting finish. First and foremost, the surface that you wish to coat should be cleaned and evened out. That entails sanding down the surface to get rid of old finishes or rough spots. Dust wood with wet cloth after sanding. Next, it’s all about the clear coat. Apply it with a brush or a roller and spread evenly. Remember, apply in thin layers for this as well. They dry faster and you’re less likely to get bubbles applying it thinly. Typically, you’ll need at least 2-3 coats (be sure they dry completely between applications). Drying times may vary, so it’s a good idea to review the product instructions. After the final coat, allow the surface to cure for a couple of days before putting it into use. This is what makes the finish really strong. If you want to protect your finish, gently clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap. Keep away from hard chemicals that can tarnish the coating. Your surfaces can look gorgeous and be protected for months to come with the RIGHT steps!

Another great way to protect your wood surfaces is to apply water-based polyurethane clear coat. The first thing you have to do is prep the spot. Ensure good ventilation in the room. Open windows and turn on fans to circulate air. That helps the coat to dry more quickly. Next, gather your materials. You will need the water-based polyurethane, a clean brush or a roller, sandpaper and a clean cloth. Prep the wood so that it is free of dirt or any debris before you add your coat. sand it smooth if you have any rough surface. Buff the area with a dry, clean cloth to get rid of any dust after sanding.
N ow it’s time for the polyurethane. Begin by pouring a small amount of the polyurethane in to a paint tray. Then dip your brush or roller in the polyurethane and begin painting it on the wood. Spread the coating with long, gentle strokes. And it’s best applied thinly. Too much, and it might not dry all the way and look patchy. Allow the first coat to dry totally. This takes typically two to four hours, but can take longer in moist conditions. When it’s dry, check for any rough spots and sand lightly as necessary. Wipe down the sanded area after sanding to remove any dust.
You can now adhere a second coat. This is essential for ensuring your wood is properly protected. Do the same steps: a light coat, a wait for it to dry down, sanding, and clean the surface. For the greatest protection, you will want three coats. Once the last coat goes on, let the wood cure for a few days before handling it. This is to ensure that the polyurethane hardens fully. Dongxu’s water-based polyurethane won’t give your wooden surfaces too much gloss, but it will protect the wood from scratches, marks, and damage from water.
Applying water-based polyurethane clear coat is not only good for your wood, but it’s also a better choice for the environment. One reason it is considered environmentally sustainable is that its emission of harmful chemicals, called VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), can be very low. VOCs can be considered air pollutants and are definitely not good for our health. Water-based finishes like Dongxu’s polyurethane have a fraction of the volatile organic compound levels found in traditional oil-based products. That means that you can have it in your house without needing to make yourself sick by constantly breathing in icky- smelling-yet-cozy-making chemicals.
