Gem Coat® Clear Precatalyzed Lacquer

One Year Shelf Life @ 77°  F

gemcoat.combo (large).jpgThis product line represents an intermediate step between our high quality water white lacquers and our extremely durable conversion varnish series. The blending of these two technologies creates a product that demonstrates the ease of application normally associated with lacquer, coupled with performance characteristics resembling the conversion varnishes. This product is a single pack system and requires no additional catalyzation. It is supplied to the customer at application viscosity thereby eliminating the need for the incorporation of additional thinners prior to application. This product meets all of the pertinent government regulations regarding emissions and meets or exceeds the performance parameters outlined by the National Kitchen Cabinet Association and the American Society for Testing and Materials.

Product Preparation & Application


Material Preparation:   This product is prepared at application viscosity and should require no thinning prior to use. However, if the conditions at your facility dictate that a thinner be incorporated, we recommend the use of our SOL-9011 HAPs Free Thinner at levels not to exceed 10% by volume. If conditions dictate that a retarder be added, we recommend our SOL-9012, HAPs Free Industrial Retarder be used at a level not to exceed 5% by volume.
NOTE: Effective dry times will be lengthened if retarder is added.

Application:   For optimum performance of this Precatalyzed lacquer, we recommend that it be applied as a self-sealing system. When applied as a self-sealing system, we recommend that the total coating system not exceed three coats, with a final dry film thickness no greater than 3 mils. If a faster drying sanding sealer is required, we recommend the use of our Gem Seal Conversion Sealer, 210-0008, which should be applied at one coat with a maximum dry film thickness of 1 mil. The sealer coat should be followed by a maximum of two coats of HAPs Compliant Gem Coat Precatalyzed Lacquer to produce a final coating system with a maximum dry film thickness of 3 mils.

Clean-up:   Use #500 Gem Coat Lacquer Thinner or SOL-9011 HAPs Free Lacquer Thinner to clean all equipment. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulation regarding pollution.
