421-63XX Chemlife® 24 Conversion Varnish Clear TC

This product is recommended for kitchen cabinets, high build office or residential furniture as well as other interior wood applications.

Substrate must be sanded using 120 or 150 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers, if used, should be sanded with 240, 280 and 320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated. The substrate as well as the sealers should be topcoated within eight hours of being sanded. Chemlife 24 cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers. 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.

Catalyze and reduce the material as recommended. Chemlife 24 is applied in one to three coats on all kinds of wood meant for indoor use. Thorough sanding between the coats is a must for good adhesion. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded.
Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided once the Chemlife 24 has been catalyzed. To ensure proper sheen, the catalyzed material should be agitated at all times.
This product can be used as a self-sealer. Appropriate sealer is Chemlife 24 Conversion Varnish Sealer 421-6300. Consult with your coatings supplier for specific recommendations.
Chemlife 24 demonstrates excellent resistance to marring, dry heat, moisture, household and office liquids, etc. When this product is used as its own sealer, its special formulation ensures excellent filling and easy sanding properties with superior holdout for subsequent coating. Chemlife 24 must be thoroughly stirred, while adding catalyst and reducer in the recommended ratio. Total recommended film build of the Chemlife 24 system should not exceed 4 mils dry.
Chemlife 24 must not be polluted with oil and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats.
Chemlife 24 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.
