They produce extremely durable films with exceptional depth of image. These productswhen applied as multi-coat self-sealing systems or as topcoats over our conversion vinyl sealers,produce coating systems which meet or exceed the performance requirements that have beenestablished by both the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer’s Association and the American Society forTesting and Materials. This product line has been formulated with very low levels of HAPs andVOC’s, and is therefore both user and environmentally friendly.Product Features:Technical Data:• OUTSTANDING MAR & CHEMICAL RESISTANCE• EXCEPTIONAL DEPTH OF IMAGE• USER AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY• EXTREMELY LOW HAPS LEVELS• PASSES KCMA AND ASTM PERFORMANCE TESTS• LOW VOC’SViscosity:14 - 17 Seconds #4 FordWeight Solids: 44.14 – 46.05%Volume Solids: 36.26 – 37.21%Weight/Gallon:7.85 – 8.01 lbs.VOC:4.32 – 4.39 lbs/gal or 518 - 526 grams/literHAPs:0.0068 – 0.0074 lbs haps/lbs solidsCatalyst:C7302 use 5.0 ounce per gallon of product148 milliters per gallon3.91% by Volume147 grams per gallonAllow 10 minutes for induction.Note:These catalyst level figures are interim numbers, which reflectsuccessful test results under Gemini Laboratory conditions.

Ft. per gallon at one mil dry film thickness25-30 minutes @ 77° F and 50% RH8-12 hoursWhen catalyzed properly & maintained in a closedvessel at standard temperature and pressure(78°F and 1 atmosphere), this product may exhibitan extended pot life of up to 3 days.1 year in a properly sealed containerThe above data is for information purpose only and actual factory batches may vary from the figures given. Tothe best of our knowledge, the above data is true and accurate at the date of issuance but is subject to changewithout prior notice.Material Preparation:All wood surfaces must be dry, clean, and free from all contaminants.Catalyzation:Catalyze only enough material to be used during the day, if you prefer to use the residual frompreviously catalyzed material, we recommend adding at least 5 parts (by volume) fresh material per 1part (by volume) of the catalyzed material. Catalyze the following morning based upon the volume offresh material added.Reduction:No reduction is required for application; however if your specific situation demands reduction, useSOL-9011, HAPs Free Lacquer Thinner or SOL-9013, Non HAPs, Non-VOC Thinner at a level not toexceed 10% (by volume) maximum. Thinning may alter the coating’s VOC content.Caution: Reduction of this product with these thinners may alter the effective pot life and the recoatparameters for this productApplication:This product may be applied as a multi-coat self-sealing system. When so applied, we recommend amaximum of 3 coats, unreduced, with a maximum wet film of 3 mils per coat. These conversionvarnishes may also be used in combination with the Gem Seal Conversion Sealer, 210-0008, or theGem Seal HAPs Compliant Precat Vinyl Sealer, 210-0001. In preparing these systems we recommend1 coat, unreduced, of vinyl sealer with a maximum wet film of 5 mils, topcoated with a maximum oftwo coats of conversion varnish, unreduced, at a maximum wet film of 3 mils per coat.Product Performance:Total dry film thickness for the complete coating system must not exceed 3 mils.

KCMA Cold Check Resistance Test:All panels passed 21 cold check cycles (cycling from 120 F degree to –5 F degree and 70% RelativeHumidity to 0% Relative Humidity)The KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) test is conducted with the test panel in avertical position while 1-milliliter aliquots of various household chemicals are applied to the coatedsurface. All of the chemicals with the exception of mustard are allowed to remain in contact with thecoating for 24 hours. Mustard is removed from the surface after one hour.Each chemical is then evaluated for its impact upon the coated surface, which includes such parametersas loss of gloss, discoloration, blistering, and delamination. The chemicals used and their respectiveeffects upon coating are as follows:1 coat 210-0008 Precat Vinyl Sealer2 coats 550-0059 Flat Conversion VarnishKCMA Test Initial results 10-day recoveryCatsup ` no effect no changeVinegar no effect no change45% ethyl alcohol in water no effect no changeOlive Oil no effect no change2% household Ammonia no effect no changeLemon Juice no effect no changeCoffee no effect no changeWater no effect no changeMustard (one hour) slight discoloration no change1 coat 210-0001 Gem Seal HC Precat Vinyl Sealer2 coats 550-0059 Flat Conversion VarnishKCMA Test Initial results 10-day recoveryCatsup ` no effect no changeVinegar no effect no change45% ethyl alcohol in water no effect no changeOlive Oil no effect no change2% household Ammonia no effect no changeLemon Juice no effect no changeCoffee no effect no changeWater no effect no changeMustard (one hour) slight discoloration no change2 coats 550-0059 Flat Conversion VarnishKCMA Test Initial results 10-day recoveryCatsup ` no effect no change
