Product Description

E.S. Lacquer is a one-component, Pre-Catalyzed lacquer especially developed for surface treatment of furniture where a beautiful appearance with good resistance properties is desired. E.S. Lacquer is fast drying and well suited for spraying as well as coating by roller and curtain coating.

Uses

The material is used to achieve an open or semi-open grain finish on all types of wood for interior use. To augment the chemical resistance of the product, E.S. Lacquer 131-51XX may be catalyzed.

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. E.S. Lacquer cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquer.

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.

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. To obtain a complete cure, the system should be applied at an ambient temperature above 18ºC and a relative humidity below 65%. When drying, this product is not to be exposed to ammonia vapors. Finished surfaces must not be cleaned with ammonia containing products.

Basecoats to use with 131-51XX: 225-0010, 522-1624, 545-8016, 546-7257 or self-seal

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.
