We’re thrilled to introduce Fusion’s new Ultra Guard Waterbased Polyurethane, offering significant advantages over our Tough Coat. Ultra Guard is designed for an effortless, brush-on application, making it much easier to achieve a flawless, streak-free finish. While Tough Coat has been a trusted topcoat for years, Ultra Guard brings a next-level user experience across both dark and light surfaces.

When to Choose Ultra Guard:

• You want a versatile topcoat that works flawlessly across all colors—from the deepest darks to the lightest tones—without worrying about streaks, clouding, or shadowing.

• You’re looking for a longer open time, giving you more flexibility and ease when applying the product, especially on larger surfaces.

• You need a silica-reinforced topcoat that offers superior durability and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic surfaces.

• You prefer a water-based, non-yellowing formula that protects the integrity of your paint color over time, perfect for both dark and light pieces.

• Ultra Guard also rounds out our selection of sheens, offering a true Flat finish and a beautiful Satin lustre, completing Fusion’s range of water-based topcoats.

When to Choose Tough Coat:

• You prefer a wipe-on application and want to maintain the Matte or Gloss finish options that Tough Coat offers.

• You’re working on smaller or less complex surfaces where you don’t need the extended open time that Ultra Guard provides.

Both products offer excellent durability and protection, but Ultra Guard provides an easier, more forgiving application with the added benefit of a silky-smooth, streak-free finish. Whether you're working on dark, bold colors or light neutrals, Ultra Guard will give you professional-quality results every time.
