Surface Preparation

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. 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

General Information

Agitate material before use. Always mix VARICURE SELECT Vinyl Sealer while adding reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. VARICURE SELECT Vinyl Sealer must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency.

Apply one or two coats at 3 – 5 mils wet. The second coat must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded.

VARICURE SELECT Vinyl Sealer must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats and before topcoating. VARICURE SELECT Vinyl Sealer must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. During hardening the coating must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface. This may accelerate discoloration.

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 maximum film build of VARICURE SELECT Vinyl Sealer should not exceed 2 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry.

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.
