Jorge Fernandez Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Hi all! I've bought a Zweihorn lacque for mi guitar finishing. The product is "super duroffix SDF-H". I've been said that this lacquer has the same quality as the famous Votteler lacquer. I don't know if the zweihorn lacquer is a nitro cellulosic lacquer or a poliurethane one. The lacquer link is: http://www.zweihorn.com/page/index.php?sid...7Uei&pg_id=1882 and the product specs are: http://www.zweihorn.com/page/files/File/en...tm/sdf_h890.pdf http://www.zweihorn.de/page/files/File/eng.../sdbl/SDF_H.pdf And I was looking for someone who has used this product or a person who can answer my question (is a nitro or not) from reading the specs from the web. I suppose this kind of products are only used by the european forum members but I can't get any feedback from the manufacturer and I don't know where can I ask! Thanks Edited September 5, 2005 by Jorge Fernandez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Needs nitrocellulose thinner, but nothing in the components suggests it's a 'celluloselak', which is what Nitro's called in German. Looks like Poly to me. Voteller has a gamut of finishes, only one of which is nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked as a poly to me too because I've not read before of a nitro lacquer reinforced with polyurethane as the zweihorn specs said! I was looking for the Votteler lacquer with code '04 005-1-0000' and reference 'NC polishing and buffing lacquer'. All the info in the next link http://213.23.100.6/CMS/CMSVottelerWeb.nsf...ment&mk=06pr=03 I've read a lot of good references and I want to try it. The problem to get this lacquer is the shipment. In my country (Spain) I don't have a Votteler distributor and I've to buy it in France. The shipment fees are twice the lacquer price! Then, last summer, a friend of mine went to France, near a Votteler distributor. The Votteler distributor recommended him the zweihorn lacquer because he hasn't the Votteler one in stock! and he trusted him, and he bought the lacquer for me. Now, I'm trying to get all the info I can about this product, because I suppose it's not the same a nitro finishing than a poly finishing, isn't it?

skibum5545 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 It's polyurethane, according to the .pdf catalog they have on their page. Super Duroffix High-quality one-pack varnish for greater demands. Polyurethane enforced, with lightfastness additive, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the lacquers they can put a lot of types of resins. It could be a nitro lacqued with polyurethane to reduce the drying time, for instance.

Mattia Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Call Zweihorn and ask. Easiest way to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
