The discussions about pelucid peaked my interest in the product enough so that I went looking for more information.
I could find nothing on the manufacturers website that states that pelucid is an UV inhibitor. The information on the site does make it clear that the product itself is not affected by UV light, but that doesn't mean that it protects what's underneath from UV.
Has anyone tested pelucid in this aspect? How well does it protect compared to a rated UV laminating film?
I'm looking forward to your reply Pierre, but I would also like to hear from others who don't have a vested interest in the product.

i have another pelucid question? would it work over acrylic paints on a metal elevator door? the door gets scratched alot, of course, and i thought pelucid might work, but, it doesn't seem to be for metal.

Sorry for the delay. Been under the weather for three days. First, the elevator door. Pelucid is SPECIFICALLY for metal, either painted or unpainted, and it works over any type of paint. It was originally designed to stop rock and sand chipping of paint on the undercarriages of semi trucks and trailers. As for the UV inhibitors, I'll get a statement from POR15 tomorrow and post it.

Stephen, I'll post the two Canadian numbers in the morning. I'm still in LostPrairie and I don't have the numbers here.

Pelucid A Rock-Hard Glossy Topcoat Pelucidtm is a water-clear single-component topcoat for application on fiberglass, wood, and other surfaces as well. It will dry to a rock-hard finish that won't crack, chip, or peel, and it is strengthened by exposure to moisture, unlike most other coatings.
Suggested Uses:
Finish coat for hardwoods, especially flooring Exterior finish for wood and concrete Protective coating for fiberglass Exterior coat for wood paneling, marine wood finishes Finish coat for marine woods, bar tops, and furniture
my question pierre is, is this the right stuff? and if so, you said it was no good for wood floors, but, great for elevators. this blurb tells me the opposite.
please clarify (if you don't mind) different product, or how did you stumble on the difference in desired use (ie: no to floors, yes to metal)
also, how do you repaint over it in the future?
anxiously waiting for the canadian #s. thanks

I'll post the Canadian numbers in the morning. Pelucid, when wet is VERY slick. That's from our own experimenting. Please note also that the updates from the mfg on uses was a result of our own testing. No to floors beacuse it does get very slick, yes to metals as it was first developed for that purpose primarily. The mfg told us that a similar product was being developed for hardwood floors, but without the "slick". I'll check on that one in the morning too.

Wonder if its made from BANNANA peels ?? No really, I picked a bunch of bananas off my tree last month. The juice from the fresh bananas driped on the cement patio, I am still trying to figure out what to use to get it off the cement.
