Conversion Varnish is a low HAPS/VOC
complying catalyzed wood finishing system
providing water white color and excellent
non-yellowing properties. It is recommended
for use over white “pickled”
and light color stains where non-yellowing
is required. Water White Conversion
Varnish offers superior performance properties
for institutional and office furniture,
cabinets and interior wood products.
Advantages:
• Water white color
• Excellent resistance to yellowing
• Meets the Federal HAPS standard for
wood finishes*
• Meets the Federal Control Technique
Guidelines (CTG) for VOC for conversion
varnishes
• High build - 34% volume solids
• Fast drying
• Meets the test requirements of the
Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers’ Association
(KCMA)
• Self sealing - use the same product as
a sealer
• Will not blush like lacquer products.
• Process efficient - many three coat applications
can be done in two coats
because of its high solids and high build
• Versatile - may be applied by conventional,
airless, air assisted airless or
electrostatic spray
• Good “hang” on vertical surfaces
• Excellent toughness and mar resistance
• Excellent moisture resistance
• Excellent resistance to household
chemicals
• Excellent cold check resistance
• Ideal for kitchen cabinets, vanities,
chairs, office furniture, and a wide
range of interior wood products

SPECIFICATIONS
Wood: (interior only): Must be clean, dry,
and finish sanded. Substrate should be
free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, and
any contamination to ensure optimum
adhesion and coating performance properties.
Moisture content of wood should be 6 to
8%.
Finishing System:
1. Sealer—catalyze and reduce Varnish
as a sealer. Spray a full wet coat. Air
dry 30 minutes or force dry 5-20 minutes
at 110°-160°F.
Note: Honest® Vinyl Sealers
T67F3, T67F5, T67F6 and T67F7 may
also be used as a sealer under Compliant
Water White Conversion Varnish.
These sealers must be catalyzed.
Consult the corresponding data
page for details.
2. Sand with 220-280 grit paper, remove
sanding dust.
3. Topcoat—Catalyze Honest® Compliant
Water White Conversion Varnish
as a topcoat. For more depth apply a
second coat.
4. Allow overnight dry before packing or
stacking. Force drying may be used.
5. Maximum dry film thickness of the system
must not exceed 4 mils because
heavier films may cause cracking.
Testing: Due to the wide variety of substrates,
surface preparation methods,
application methods, and environments,
the customer should test the complete
system for adhesion and compatibility
prior to full scale application. |
