Varicure
The pinnacle of user-friendly performance. High in solids, easy flowing, quick drying and smooth sanding, Varicure outperforms the competition in straight out-of-the-can testing. Add an optional catalyst, and it outperforms many conversion varnish products. Water clear in the can, it resists yellowing due to heat and QUV A; it’s also formulated to build higher than the average pre-catalyzed lacquer, a total of 5 dry mils. Additionally, Varicure is also VHAPS free. You owe it to yourself and your company to give Varicure a try.
Varicure passes all KCMA testing.

Optiprime & Optiset
Like Plastiprimer and Plasticolor, these are the bases for a flawless wood or MDF finish system, except in a pre-catalyzed formulation. Lower in viscosity but still high in solids, Optiprime dries and sands quickly and smoothly while Optiset tops off the system with a hard, resistant finish. Chemcraft’s C-Match fandeck system contains formulas for these pre-catalyzed coatings as well as the conversion varnish counterparts.
