ULTRA-LOCK
Metallic Control Additive / Basecoat Converter

UA-2400 is a combination Effect Additive and Basecoat Converter designed for use with Kirker’s ULTRA-GLO urethane color system. ULTRA-LOCK significantly improves sprayability and ease-of-use, while converting Kirker’s single-stage urethanes into fast-drying, low-gloss, basecoat-like finishes. Anti-Mottle Technology stabilizes metallics and pearls, locking these effect pigments in place for an even, streak-free finish.

Mixing ULTRA-LOCK into the ULTRA-GLO system 3:1:1 yields five quarts of sprayable material. This system combines all of the same ease-of-use benefits of traditional basecoats with the superior adhesion, durability, chip resistance and other performance properties of today’s most advanced single-stage urethane topcoats. Keep in mind, once ULTRA-LOCK is integrated into the system, the urethane topcoat will no longer be suitable for use in a single-stage application; it will require a separate clear coat for exterior durability. Any of Kirker’s Urethane Clears may be used for this purpose.

• LOCKS FLAKES AND PEARLS IN PLACE for less mottling
• IMPROVES ATOMIZATION for superior sprayability
• INCREASES FLOP CONTROL for better alignment of metal flake
• REDUCES SENSITIVITY TO CONDITIONS for greater consistency
• INCREASES SUSPENSION for fewer runs and sags
• REDUCES TACK for less dust and particle pickup in the wet film
• SPEEDS OUT OF DUST TIME for fewer nibs and surface defects
• REDUCES TAPE TIME for faster two-tones and multi-color graphics
• CUTS FLASH TIME for faster throughput and increased productivity
• REDUCES SYSTEM VOC for better shop compliance
• IMPROVES REPAIRABILITY for increased ease-of-use
• BOOSTS FILM STRENGTH for superior surface integrity
