A one-component varnish that provides optimal protection in all climate conditions. EPIFANES Rapidclear gives a high-quality satin finish for long-term protection and care of all maritime woods, both inside and outside above the waterline.

The paint is based on a modified alkyd-urethane resin. It adheres extremely well to teak and other oily woods, is very water-repellent, very breathable and flexible. It provides a lightly pigmented UV-protection finish, protects against discoloration and supports the natural wood grain. On weathered surfaces, RAPIDCLEAR can restore a uniform appearance.

With its quick drying, grain filling properties, it is suitable for fast and easy build-up of varnish without sanding needed between layers. This makes it a great base coating for the final application with EPIFANES Clear Gloss Varnish or EPIFANES Woodfinish Gloss. Can be applied on existing one- and two-component varnishes as well.

EPIFANES Rapidclear is for those who want the best in a quick and easy satin finish system with maximum UV resistance and durability.
