Matte and Satin Finishes with Post-Catalyzed Varnish or Urethane Spray
Kinon surfaces can achieve matte and satin finishes through post-catalyzed (Post Cat) varnish spray application or urethane spray. However, it is essential to understand that these finishes should always be applied after fabrication.
Why Is the Final Finish Not Applied at the Factory?
- Ensuring the Highest Quality: Spray finishing after fabrication allows for sanding and profiling edges and faces, effectively removing any blade or router marks before sealing with a sprayed coating.
- Fabricator Responsibility: We do not sell Kinon sheets with a final spray finish. Instead, it is the responsibility of the fabricator or installation company to apply the final finish after cutting, shaping, and assembling the product.
- Metal Protection: Spray-applied finishes are also recommended for protecting our brass, bronze, and copper metals from patina and oxidation.
Application Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: When we apply coatings in our factory, we sand between 220 to 400 grit to prepare the surface properly.
- Manufacturer Instructions: Post Cat varnish manufacturers have different application and reduction guidelines based on temperature and humidity. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and conduct test applications before finishing your Kinon products.
- Easy Recoating: Post Cat varnish and urethane finishes are durable, easy to clean, and simple to recoat. To refresh the finish, simply sand, wipe clean, and re-spray.
Important Notice
Regardless of whether you purchase Kinon sheets in polished gloss or unfinished form, final refinishing must be done after fabrication. This applies to all wall paneling, cabinetry, and furniture installations. Customers purchasing Kinon sheets should be prepared for finishing, touch-ups, and cleaning as part of the installation process.
