• Guaranteed Local Market Protection: We offer exclusive territorial rights and price-protection mechanisms for designated regional master distributors.
• Universal Climate Adapting System: GD-400 works seamlessly with a family of three cross-climate hardeners, allowing you to service workshops operating in freezing northern conditions or sweltering tropical climates.
• Fully Compliant Export Paperwork: Fast customs clearance with complete chemical documentation. We provide full MSDS, ISO 9001/14001 certificates, TDS sheets, and International Marine Safe Transport Appraisals.

GD-400 is engineered using a high-density, multi-functional hydroxyl acrylic copolymer resin base. When cross-linked with aliphatic polyisocyanates present in the GD-402 activator, it forms a closely packed polymer network:

[Hydroxyl Acrylic Copolymer (GD-400)] + [Aliphatic Polyisocyanate (GD-402)]                            │                             ▼[3D Polyurethane Cross-Linked Shield]         (Locks out UV rays, moisture, and chemical acids)

This specific chemical structure ensures high paint film build, excellent elasticity to prevent cracking under temperature swings, and superior resistance to yellowing over years of direct sunlight exposure.

3. High-Volume Auto Paint Distribution Networks

Enable your sub-distributors and local retail paint stores to sell an easy-to-use, top-performing clearcoat that works across various solvent and waterborne basecoats.

2. Commercial Transport & Heavy-Duty Fleet Painting

Provides long-term environmental protection for commercial buses, delivery trucks, and heavy construction machinery subjected to regular high-pressure cleanings, acidic road grime, and harsh UV exposure.

3. Luxury Used Car Restoration Hubs

Gives older vehicle fleets a brand-new, deep glossy finish, raising their resale value in used car export and wholesale auctions.

Before spraying, clean the cured basecoat surface using a high-grade degreaser. Wipe the entire surface with a tack rag to remove any overspray dust, silver metallic particles, or airborne fibers.

Thoroughly mix the components by volume. Do not alter ratios, as this can affect film cure and hardness: Mixing Ratio=100 Parts GD-400 Clearcoat:50 Parts GD-402 Hardener:20 Parts G-1 ThinnerMixing Ratio=100 Parts GD-400 Clearcoat:50 Parts GD-402 Hardener:20 Parts G-1 Thinner Stir well and measure the mixture's viscosity. It should measure 16 to 18 seconds using a standard DIN 4 cup at 23°C.

• RP Spray Gun: Use a 1.3 mm nozzle tip with an inlet pressure set at 2.0 to 2.5 Bar.
• HVLP Spray Gun: Use a 1.3 mm nozzle tip with an inlet pressure set at 1.8 to 2.0 Bar.

Apply 2 to 3 wet coats, aiming for a total dry film thickness (DFT) of 40 to 60 μm. Allow a 5 to 10-minute flash-off period between layers at 23°C. Before baking, let the freshly sprayed surface sit for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the solvents to escape, preventing solvent pop.

A: GD-400 uses premium European-sourced acrylic resins with integrated Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) and UV absorbers. This chemistry prevents polymer degradation and yellowing, keeping colors vibrant even in high-UV regions like the Middle East and Latin America.

A: Yes. Every bulk export shipment includes fully updated, multi-language Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), and Certified Safe Maritime Transport Appraisals, preventing any clearance delays at port customs.

A: Absolutely. We offer flexible pallet loading options. You can configure your order with mixed ratios of GD-401 (Fast), GD-402 (Standard), and GD-403 (Slow) hardeners to match your local market's seasonal temperature demands.

A: GD-400 delivers comparable gloss, flow, and chemical durability to Tier-1 Western clearcoats, but at a unit price that is roughly 35% to 45% lower. This provides an excellent high-value alternative for cost-conscious, professional workshops.

A: GD-400 is formulated as a medium-high solid solvent-borne coating. For regions with strict low-VOC caps (<420 g/L), please contact our technical division to discuss our specialized waterborne and ultra-high-solid (UHS) compliance product lines.
