Surface Preparation:

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.

General Information:

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.

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.

spec_description:

Varicure is a one-component high solids pre-catalyzed Reactive Amino Coating (RAC). This is a fast building pre-catalyzed RAC due to its high volume solids (22%). Varicure demonstrates very good moisture, household wear, household chemical, solvent and mar resistance. Varicure has very fast hardness development resulting in early print resistance and packaging. Varicure is supplied at a ready to spray viscosity. This coating will dry quickly and sand easily.

Special Recognition:  Meets Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer Association (KCMA) Standards.

Recommended:  Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI). T.R.2.

These products are designed for industrial use only. AkzoNobel views safety as a top priority. Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for information on the safe use of this product.

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.
