This coating is designed for use as a topcoat on painted signs and bulletins, oil color signs, sculptures, gold leaf lettering or wherever resistance to the effects of long-term exposure to weather is a requirement. Resists yellowing, oxidization, checking and cracking. It is also ideal for renewing faded signs. This coating should not be used on raw wood or any surface, which will come in contact with solvents or harsh cleaning agents (vehicles, motorcycles, windows). For automotive vehicles and motorcycles use Aquathane Gloss. Do not use Acrylic Clear Overcoat on vinyl signs. For vinyl signs or letters use Vinyl Cote. Ronan Acrylic Clear Overcoat is available in low luster or gloss.

Water Based


Vinyl Cote is a water-based, acrylic clear coating formulated for use as a protective topcoat on untreated vinyl, painted vinyl signs, vinyl letters, banners, vinyl awnings, bulletins and many other substrates. It dries to a flexible, weather resistant finish and exhibits excellent adhesion to treated and untreated vinyl, wood, metal, glass, plastic and many synthetics. It is designed for use as a topcoat where resistance to the effects of exposure to weather is a requirement. Properly applied it cures to a "water white", non-yellowing gloss finish and therefore can be used directly on pictures, murals, portraits and vinyl graphics without altering the colors. Vinyl Cote Flat can also be used as a primer for untreated vinyl. When applied as a primer on untreated vinyl it prevents plasticizer migration and the adhesion and drying problems caused by migration. It prepares the vinyl for top coating. Non-Flammable, non-toxic when cured, low odor. Available in flat, semi gloss or gloss.
Dry Time: @ 70 F; 50% Relative Humidity: Dries to touch - 45 minutes to 1 hour; to handle - 2 1/2 hours; to recoat - 2 1/2 hours. Full cure - 8 hours. Will take longer to dry under colder or more humid conditions.
Application Methods: Brush, roller or spray.
