Product Description

​E.S. HS Sealer is a one-component, pre-catalyzed sealer designed for all types for all types of woods for interior use. It is rapid dry and sands easily to a smooth finish. This particular product is developed to have higher solids than our standard E.S. Sealer while maintaining the same ease of use.

Uses

Used as a protective coating for wood. For interior uses only.

Surface Preparation

Wood must be sanded with a #120, 150 or 180 grit paper and free of dust and all contaminants. Sealer must be sanded with a #280/320 paper and the topcoat must be applied within 8 hours after the sanding. Stain systems under acid containing coatings should be acid stable.

General Information

Apply 1 or 2 coats of 3 to 5 mils wet and allow 30‑45 minutes dry at 20°C prior to sanding and applying next coating. A thorough sanding with 280/320 grit paper of each coat is essential for proper adhesion. Eliminate all contact with metallic surfaces. Maximum film build of the topcoat should not exceed 2 mils dry. Maximum film build of the system should not exceed 4 mils dry.

431-1219 is used under pre-catalyzed following topcoat: 431-90XX  and 431-98XX (355-8XX).

To obtain complete cure, E.S. HS Sealer should be applied at a temperature above 18°C and relative humidity below 65%. When drying, this product is not to be exposed to ammonia vapours. Finished surfaces must not be cleaned with ammonia containing products. Always use plastic or stainless equipment to eliminate discoloration due to oxidation.

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 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.
