431-46XX Varicure® Pre-Cat Clear TC

Varicure is recommended for office and household furniture, kitchen cabinets, as well as many other interior wood applications.

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers, if used, should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated. The sealer should be topcoated within eight hours of being sanded. Appropriate sealers are Chemcraft pre-catalyzed sealers, or self-seal. When recoating, the previous coat of Varicure must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. Varicure 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.

Agitate material before use.  Always mix Varicure while adding hardener and reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. Varicure must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency and consistent gloss.

Apply at 3 – 5 mill wet on sanded substrate. Further coats may be applied after complete drying followed by sanding with 280/320 grit stearated paper. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. The maximum film build of Varicure should not exceed 4 mils dry.
Varicure may be catalyzed to further enhance its durability. Contact your coating supplier for a recommendation. This product is intended as a self-seal product; however, if a sealer is desired Variseal® 431-4601 or Variseal H/S 431-4602 are recommended.

This product is intended as a self-seal product; however, if a sealer is desired Variseal H/S 431-4602 is recommended.

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

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.

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

This product does contain formaldehyde, but the quantity is below the reportable amount according to OSHA regulation 1910.1048.
