NAME:

ENVIROCRYL 160-TB TANNIN BLOCKING WHITE PRIMER

PRODUCT CODE:

ELPR160-TB

DESCRIPTION:

ELPR160-TB is a universal primer with tannin blocking properties that provides an excellent foundation for any solid colour systems on solid wood, veneer, MDF or for refinishing as a 1K product. It offers fast dry times and is easy to sand with light pressure. ELPR160-TB can also be applied over T9000 that has dried for 1-2 hours. It has excellent leveling and anti-sag for vertical applications and is very easy to spray brush or roll. It can also be used as a 2K product by adding 5% CAT100LV Hardener (4-6 hour pot life). After priming, PR160-TB is suitable to be topcoated with Envirolak’s 200, 400 or 800 series and many other topcoats. Do not use 100 series over PR160-TB.

USES:

This product is designed for interior wood finishing applications such as cabinetry, tables, furniture and millwork.

PRODUCT PREPARATION:

Reduction is not required when spraying with Air Assisted Airless, Airless, pressure pots, HVLP turbine and conventional cup guns but the product may be reduced with water or ELRX010 Reducer if desired or when brushing and rolling to improve leveling. Product should be at room temperature and mixed thoroughly prior to application.

SANDING:

Sand raw wood or veneer with 150 or 180 grit to remove any mill glaze or oxidation. Sand MDF with 240 – 320 grit sandpaper especially any machined (saw marks, edges & routed-out areas) prior to applying primer. Sand primer with 320/400 grit sandpaper or fine/super fine sponges. Two coats can be applied same day back-to-back without sanding between and still achieve good adhesion, a quick scuff is required if more than 8 hours elapsed between coats. All of our primers must be sanded same day as topcoat application as they cure quickly, if the primer is sanded and left overnight it will require a quick scuff with maroon scotch brite or a super fine sponge for adhesion before applying topcoat.
