    Ultra Guard

    Introducing Ultra Guard Waterbased Polyurethane

    We’re beyond excited to introduce the latest game-changer in the Fusion™ Mineral Paint family: Ultra Guard Waterbased Polyurethane! Whether working with painted surfaces or bare wood, Ultra Guard offers incredible protection with an effortless application. Available in Flat and Satin finishes, it’s here to make your DIY projects look and feel amazing—while keeping them safe from everyday wear and tear.

    Why Choose Ultra Guard?

    So, what makes Ultra Guard so special? It’s all about how easy it is to use! Whether you’re a beginner DIYer or a seasoned pro, Ultra Guard delivers smooth, streak-free coverage without any fuss. Its unique formula glides on easily with a synthetic brush or roller, so you don’t have to worry about brush marks. Plus, it dries to the touch within 30 minutes—1 hour, which means you can finish your project faster and enjoy your beautifully protected piece in no time!

    Fusion™ Mineral Paint’s Complete Sheen Range in Topcoats

    With the addition of Ultra Guard, Fusion™ Mineral Paint now offers a comprehensive range of sheens to cater to every preference and project requirement. Our Ultra Guard topcoat provides the perfect Flat and Satin finishes, ensuring exceptional durability and a flawless look. For those looking for Matte and Gloss options, our Tough Coat range delivers robust protection and a beautiful finish. Our oil-based SFO (Stain and Finishing Oil) also offers versatility from a Soft Satin to a Semi-Gloss sheen. No matter the project or desired finish, Fusion™ Mineral Paint has the ideal topcoat solution to achieve stunning, long-lasting results.

    Here you can see the comparison of Wellington with Ultra Guard Flat on the left and Ultra Guard Satin on the right. The middle line has no top coat!

    Check out our reel to see a quick overview of the magic of Ultra Guard!

    Does Fusion™ Mineral Paint Need a Topcoat?

    A common question we receive is whether Fusion™ Mineral Paint requires a topcoat. The short answer is: no, you don’t need to apply a topcoat over Fusion Mineral Paint. Our paint is formulated to be very durable as is. Fusion™ Mineral Paint includes a built-in top coat that offers superior strength, making it highly durable for most applications.

    However, in high-traffic areas like coffee tables or kitchen cabinets, you may choose to add an extra layer of protection with a topcoat. This can increase the durability and longevity of your painted surfaces.

    Topcoats also offer a fantastic way to change the sheen of your painted surface. With the introduction of Ultra Guard, which offers Flat and Satin finishes, alongside our existing Matte and Gloss Tough Coat, and the versatile sheen range of our Stain and Finishing Oil, you now have the full spectrum of finishes at your fingertips.

    Superior Dark Color Compatibility

    Unlike other water-based topcoats that often struggle with dark colours, Ultra Guard is formulated to eliminate common issues such as clouding and streaking. Its unique composition ensures a clear, smooth finish that enhances the richness and depth of dark hues, making it the perfect choice for all your dark-coloured projects.

    Reinforced Durability and Resistance

    Fusion™ Ultra Guard is a water-based polyurethane-acrylic protective varnish reinforced with silica, providing unparalleled durability and resistance to abrasion. This robust topcoat ensures your surfaces are well-protected against daily wear and tear, extending the life and beauty of your painted and wooden surfaces.

    Odorless and Non-Yellowing

    Enjoy a pleasant painting experience with Ultra Guard’s odourless formula. This topcoat is also non-yellowing, maintaining the integrity and vibrancy of your colours over time.

    Easy Application and Excellent Coverage

    With its easy-to-use formulation, Ultra Guard offers excellent coverage and a seamless application process. Whether you’re working on furniture, worktables, wood floors, or other interior surfaces, this topcoat ensures a professional finish with minimal effort.

    How to Use Fusion™ Ultra Guard

    Preparation:

    • For painted surfaces, clean and degrease using TSP Alternative. If freshly painted, wait 24-48 hours before applying Ultra Guard.
    • For bare wood, sand smooth with 120 grit.
    • Ensure all surfaces are free of wax, varnish, or other contaminants. Remove dust after sanding before application.

    Application:

    • Apply with a synthetic bristle brush or a microfiber roller.
    • Sand lightly with 220 grit between coats for a smooth finish.

    Number of Coats:

    • Apply 2 coats on painted surfaces.
    • Apply 3 coats on bare wood and non-sealing stain.

    Drying Time:

    • Between coats: 3 to 48 hours (after 48 hours, light sanding with 220 grit is necessary before applying another coat).
    • On bare wood, apply the second coat after 3 hours without sanding.
    • Before sanding, wait 6 to 8 hours.
    • For careful use, wait 24 hours.
    • The complete curing time is 7 to 10 days.
