431-4602 Variseal® HS Pre-Cat Clear Sealer

Variseal HS is the recommended sealer for the Varicure^® system and is intended for use on office and household furniture, kitchen cabinets, as well as many other interior wood applications.

Wood substrate should be sanded with 120, 150 or 180 grit paper prior to staining or coating. Stain system under acid containing coatings should be acid stable. AkzoNobel recommends using 825-90XX, 825-91XX Promatch® C-Mix Stains or 890-85XX Promatch Dye Stains.

Agitate material thoroughly before use.  Variseal HS must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency.

Apply one or two coats at 3-5 mils wet and allow 30-45 minutes to dry at 68°F prior to sanding and applying next coating. Sand with 280/320 grit paper before topcoating or recoating and ensure next coat is applied within eight hours of sanding.

This product dries rapidly, powders very well and seals the substrate preparing it for the appropriate topcoat.

Variseal HS must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between the coats.  Variseal HS must not be used nor dried at temperatures below 64°F (18°C) or relative air humidity above 65%.  During hardening, the sealer must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface.  This may accelerate discoloration.

The maximum film build of Variseal HS should not exceed 2 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry.
