Surface Preparation

Wood substrate should be sanded with 120, 150 or 180 grit paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to topcoating. The sealer should be topcoated within eight hours of sanding. When recoating, the previous coat of E.S. Lacquer must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. Stain systems under acid containing coatings should be acid stable. E.S. Lacquer cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

General Information

Agitate material before use. Always mix E.S. Lacquer while adding hardener and reducers in the recommended mixing ratios.

E.S. Lacquer must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency and consistent gloss. Apply at 3-5 mils wet on sanded substrate. Further coats may be applied after complete drying followed by sanding with 280/320 grit stearated paper. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

E.S. Lacquer must not be used and dried at temperatures below 18°C or relative air humidity above 65% as the hardening may otherwise become incomplete. During hardening, the lacquer must not be exposed to ammonia vapours. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface.

Maximum film build of E.S. Lacquer should not exceed 4 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry.

431-98XX can be use as a self-seal or with following sealers: 390-001, 390-0060, 401-028 (not catalyzed), 431-1219, 546-5192 and 546-8003.

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN IN THIS DATA SHEET WILL LIKELY RESULT IN UNSATISFACTORY FILM APPEARANCE OR FILM FAILURE. THE COMPLETE COATING SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR REQUIRED PROPERTIES PRIOR TO THE START-UP OF PRODUCTION.

---

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
