431-4601 Variseal® Pre-Cat Clear Sealer

Variseal is the recommended sealer for the Varicure® system and is intended for use on office and household furniture, kitchen cabinets, as well as many other interior wood applications.

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Stain systems used under acid catalyzed systems should be acid stable. AkzoNobel recommends using 825-90XX, 825-91XX Promatch® C-Mix Stains or 890-85XX Promatch Dye Stains.

Agitate material before use.  Always mix Variseal while adding hardener and reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. Variseal must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency.

Apply one or two coats at 3 – 5 mill wet. The second coat must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. 

Variseal may be catalyzed to further enhance its durability. Contact your coating supplier for a recommendation.

Variseal must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats and before topcoating.  Variseal must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%.  During hardening the coating must not be exposed to ammonia vapors.  Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface.  This may accelerate discoloration.

Natural ambering or discoloring in the can may occur over time. Although there may be changes of color in the can as the product ages, this will have little to no effect on the product during application. Storing in locations above recommended room temperatures could accelerate ambering.

The maximum film build of Variseal should not exceed 2 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry. 

This product does contain formaldehyde, but the quantity is below the reportable amount according to OSHA regulation 1910.1048.
