117-71XX CoVar® 275 White Conversion Varnish Pigmented TC

CoVar 275 White is recommended for office and household furniture, kitchen cabinets, as well as many other high performance interior wood applications. CoVar 275 White is designed for use as a final coat on all types of solid wood and veneer meant for interior use.

Primer should be sanded using 240 and 320 grit stearated paper. A suitable primer is catalyzed Versaprime® 275 545-5120. Primers should be topcoated within eight hours of sanding. Care should be taken during sanding to avoid sanding through the primer. Substrate should be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to coating. CoVar 275 White cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

Agitate material before use. Catalyze and reduce the material as recommended. Always mix CoVar 275 White while adding catalyst and reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. CoVar 275 White must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency and 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. A thorough sanding between the coats is essential to the adhesion. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded.

Maximum film build of CoVar 275 White should not exceed 4 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 6 mils dry. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

CoVar 275 White must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between the coats.

CoVar 275 White must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. During the curing process, the coating must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface. This may accelerate discoloration.

Please note that, as with any other acid catalyzed product, this material contains, and has the potential to emit, formaldehyde (CAS# 50-00-0). As per the US Department of Labor Standard 29 CFR 1910.1048 covering formaldehyde, section (d)(1)(i) states that “Each employer who has a workplace covered by this standard shall monitor employees to determine their exposure to formaldehyde.” Please refer to the OSHA web site at www.osha.gov for further information.
