A clear between innovation and performance

The UHS Premium D8173 is a two-component acrylic clear. Designed for demanding professionals, it is praised for its finishing quality and durability over time.

Compatibility with Envirobase High Performance

PPG has optimized the D8173 to benefit from perfect synergy with Envirobase High Performance bases. Combined with their waterborne formula, drying times are extremely fast and the whole guarantees an excellent final appearance. After applying your base, however, be sure to wipe a dust cloth over your surface before applying the clear.

Fast drying for energy savings

Because time is money. Combined with hardener D8302, the clear dries in only 15 minutes at 60°C. Less time in the booth means both more economy and more time for you.

A brilliant shine

High gloss and exceptional tension. Whatever the surface on which the clear is applied, the quality of the result will capture the attention and satisfaction of your customers.

And because we know the devil is in the details, the D8173 is easy to sand and polish, allowing effortless corrections and a perfect finish every time.

Advantages of the UHS Premium range
