Ilva PAF100 is a pigmented polyurethane fire-resistant primer designed for use on MDF, softwoods, and hardwoods. It provides excellent build, adhesion, and sanding properties, creating a smooth, uniform base for subsequent polyurethane or acrylic topcoats.
Formulated for professional finishing applications, PAF100 combines high solids, fast build, and consistent coverage, making it ideal for furniture, doors, wall panels, and joinery where both fire resistance and durability are required.
Application Instructions

-
1–2 coats may be applied depending on substrate and desired film build.
-
Maintain good airflow to promote even drying.
Drying & Sanding:
-
Allow to dry for 2–3 hours before sanding.
-
Sand lightly with fine abrasive (P320–P400) prior to topcoating.
-
Ensure all sanding dust is removed.
Clean-Up:
-
Clean equipment immediately after use with polyurethane-compatible thinner (e.g. TZ33).
Recommended Topcoats:
-
Ilva polyurethane or fire-retardant pigmented topcoats such as PLF100 SheenSeries.
