431-98XX ES Lacquer Pre-Cat Clear Topcoat

This product is recommended for office and household furniture, kitchen cabinets as well as many other interior wood applications.

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.

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.

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.
