DESCRIPTION:

It provides a lasting, durable finish for wooden surfaces that meets or exceeds KCMA standards as a 1k product. The product can also be catalyzed with CAT100-LV hardener or crosslinked with CAT150 crosslinker to improve chemical, scratch, mar resistance and vertical flow. This product combines outstanding toughness and stain resistance with the wood warmth and hand-feel of traditional solvent-based coatings, all in a low VOC water-based finish. Only use 100 series over raw wood, Envirostain’s, 170, 170-TB or 180 primers, SEAL300 and as a self seal or over itself as a 1K or 2K with CAT100LV or CAT150. 100 series can also be used over SEAL500 as a 2K with CAT100LV.
USES:
