HIREC450 has the same super water repellency as HIREC100, but was developed primarily for indoor use. It has good adhesion to a wide range of materials, so it is a one-coat type that can be easily applied without a primer.
The coating is white and semi-transparent (visible light transmittance approx. 5%), but because it is applied in a thin film (our recommended thickness is approx. 15μm), it is possible to see through the base.→Painting example

Unlike HIREC100, it does not have a photocatalytic effect, so if dirt in the air adheres to the coating surface, the super water repellency will decrease.

Examples of painting on wood
On the right half where HIREC450 was applied, water beads up, showing that the surface is water repellency. HIREC450 is white and translucent, and because it is applied as a thin film (our recommended film thickness is approximately 15 μm), the visible light transmittance is 5%, and although the applied surface is whitish, the wood grain pattern can be seen through.
