Applications of Transolac Finish 3.31
Transolac Finish 3.31 is intended for exterior marine areas where a durable alkyd finish and a stable colour are needed:
- Boottop areas
- Ship topsides
- Decks
- Superstructures
It suits maintenance and repaint work as well as new coating schemes. For a full system, see our guide to marine topcoats and finishes. If the project needs a two-pack polyurethane finish instead, compare it with Transothane Finish 3.63.
Technical Data
All values below come from the official Transocean datasheet (TO 3.31).

| Volume Solids | Approx. 45% |
| Specific Gravity | Approx. 1.1 g/ml |
| VOC | Approx. 473 g/L |
| Flashpoint | Above 35°C |
| Mixing Ratio | Not applicable (one-pack product) |
| Recommended DFT | 35 µm per coat (range 30 – 50 µm) |
| Recommended WFT | 80 µm per coat (range 65 – 110 µm) |
| Theoretical Spreading Rate | 12.9 m²/L at recommended DFT (15 – 9 m²/L across the DFT range) |

Drying and Recoating Times
| Substrate temperature | 10°C | 23°C | 30°C | 40°C |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Touch dry | 10 hours | 6 hours | 4 hours | 3 hours |
| Dry to handle | 30 hours | 24 hours | 18 hours | 12 hours |
| Minimum recoating interval (single-pack products) | 24 hours | 16 hours | 12 hours | 8 hours |
| Maximum recoating interval (single-pack products) | Indefinite | Indefinite | Indefinite | Indefinite |
Times are guidelines measured below 85% relative humidity at the average DFT. Actual times depend on film thickness, temperature, ventilation, humidity and the preceding paint system.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination. Treat surfaces in accordance with ISO 8504:2000.
Check that the existing coating is compatible with the selected paint system. If the remaining coating needs sweep-blasting, use a fine abrasive to avoid damaging it.
Application Methods
Transolac Finish 3.31 can be applied by airless spray, air spray, brush or roller. Guiding data from the datasheet:
| Airless spray | Nozzle pressure 120 – 180 bar; nozzle 0.38 – 0.48 mm (0.015 – 0.019 in.); spray angle 60 – 80 degrees; thinner 0 – 3% |
| Air spray | Pressure 3 – 5 bar; nozzle 1.2 – 1.5 mm; thinner 0 – 10% |
| Brush / roller | Suitable; thinner 0 – 5% |
Brush or roller application is not advisable for the aluminium shade, which can show application marks when touched up. Use how to measure film thickness to check the result.
Mixing and Thinning
This is a one-pack coating. Mix it thoroughly with a clean mechanical mixer before use. The recommended thinner and cleaner is Transocean Alkyd Thinner 6.00.
- Keep the mixed paint at 15°C or above, whatever the substrate temperature. Colder paint needs more thinner, which lowers sag resistance and slows curing.
- Avoid excessive thinning: it can cause solvent entrapment, blistering and pinholing.
- Apply with relative humidity below 90% and a substrate at least 5°C and 3°C above the dew point. See also painting in hot and humid weather.
- Small gloss or colour deviations may occur after heat exposure.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated space away from heat and ignition sources, in line with national regulations. Keep cans tightly closed and in their original containers until use. Re-seal partly used containers securely.
Health and Safety
This product is for professional applicators and contains flammable materials. Keep it away from sparks and open flames, and do not allow smoking in the area.
- Wear overalls, gloves, goggles and a mask to avoid skin and eye contact.
- Spray in well-ventilated conditions; use local exhaust ventilation or suitable respiratory protection in enclosed areas.
- Observe the precautionary notices on the container label. A safety data sheet is available on request.

Is Transolac Finish 3.31 a one-pack or two-pack coating?
It is a one-pack coating. No hardener or mixing ratio is needed; stir it thoroughly with a clean mechanical mixer before application.
What film thickness should I apply?
The datasheet recommends 35 µm dry film (80 µm wet) per coat, within a 30 – 50 µm DFT range. The theoretical spreading rate is 12.9 m²/L.
Which thinner is recommended for Transolac Finish 3.31?
Use Transocean Alkyd Thinner 6.00 for both thinning and cleaning. Avoid excessive thinning, as it lowers sag resistance and slows curing.
How long does it take to dry and recoat?
At 23°C it is touch dry in about 6 hours and dry to handle in 24 hours. The minimum recoating interval is 16 hours; the maximum is indefinite.
