Gem Lac White Precatalyzed Lacquer

One Year Shelf Life @ 77°  F

gemcoat.combo (large).jpgThis product line represents an intermediate step between our high quality white pigmented 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.

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 precatalyzed vinyl primer, 110-0002, 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 AC/HC 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 SOL9011 HAPS Free Thinner to clean up all equipment. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulation regarding pollution.
