AC WOODLAK Sanding Sealer

A clear alkyd/urea formaldehyde acid catalyzed sanding sealer
A two component, urea formaldehyde, acid catalyzed high-build sanding sealer.

Intended Uses:
A clear high build fast drying sanding sealer for solid and veneered timber or medium density fibreboard (MDF). AC
WOODLAK Sanding Sealer is designed to seal, sand easily and allow for excellent adhesion of subsequent coats
such as reaction lacquers, nitrocellulose lacquers or polyurethane finishes.

AC WOODLAK Sanding Sealer has good “filling” properties for closed pore clear or pigmented finishing or for use as a
thinner coat “isolation sealer” for open pore clear or pigmented finishing.

Features & Benefits:

• Fast drying.
• Lubricated surface for clog free sanding.
• Excellent filling and sanding properties.
• Excellent clarity when over-coated with clear topcoats.
• Used on certain veneers as a one coat open grain finish.
• Easily applied using brush or spray application.
• Excellent sealing properties on edging or porous substrates.
• Excellent anti-blocking properties.
• Excellent as an isolation sealer on exotic woods.

Note: Adequate ventilation should be maintained during application and curing. If the 48-hour overcoating window is exceeded the
sealer should be lightly sanded prior to application of subsequent coats.

Surface Preparation:
All pre-sealed surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, and free from contamination. Prior to application the surface
should be sanded to a smooth finish with fine sandpaper, working in the direction of the grain.

All sharp edges must be rounded off, ensure substrate is then free of dust by blowing with compressed air or making
use of clean rags before application of coating.

• 150 – 180 grit with raw wood & steel.

• 320 – 400 grit with foil, melamine, filler-coated/primed substrates.
• 320 – 400 grit for intermediate lacquer sanding.

If coating with high gloss intermediate sanding of 600 – 800 grit is recommended.

Application:

Mixing Material is supplied in full containers excluding catalyst. Always ensure the product
is catalyzed in the correct proportions, failure to do so will result in several
problems, namely - drying, overcoating, performance, cracking, crazing etc.

If unsure of how to mix, contact Specialized Coating Systems for technical support.

Once mixed the product should be used within the pot life specified.

Stir the base component well with a flat-bottomed paddle or mechanical mixer until
product is uniform. Continue stirring and add the entire contents of the catalyst
container. Continue stirring until the mixture is homogeneous.

Ensure that sufficient material be mixed so that the product can be applied within its
use-able life.

The temperature of the mixed product should preferably be above 10°C.

Higher temperatures result in faster cure.

Mix Ratio Add 5% AC UltraLak Catalyst 40
Or
Add 10% AC UltraLak Catalyst 20
Pot Life 12 hours @ 20°C
Air Spray Recommended Gun Pressure Feed
Fluid Tip 1.6mm to 2mm
Airless Spray Recommended Tip Range 11 – 17 Thou. Pressure at the tip should not be
less than 140 bar (2000 PSI).
Thinner Lacquer Thinner M219 (Additions will vary depending on thinner used and
temperature.)
Cleaner SA65 Thinner For dry paint & equipment
Work Stoppage Do not allow material to remain in spray equipment after use, thoroughly flush and
clean all equipment with Lacquer Thinner. Once the kit has been mixed, they should
not be re-sealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages, work
recommences with freshly mixed units.

Environment:

Surface Temperature Ambient Temperature Relative Humidity

Minimum 5°C* 7°C No lower limit
Maximum 35°C* 45°C 85%
* Higher temperatures result in reduced sag resistance and faster cure, dry spray etc. Consult a Specialized Coating System
representative for advice.

Limitations:

• Various thinners and retarders are available on request. It is essential that the viscosity is adjusted to the
optimal viscosity for the application at hand.
• Viscosity determines the flow properties, sag resistance, consistency of finish such as gloss levels etc.
• Viscosity is highly affected by the temperature of the mixed product, caution and inspection should be carried
out through the entire pot life of the mixed product to ensure consistency.
• For best results bring the material temperature between 20 – 30°C, unless specifically instructed otherwise,
prior to mixing with and application.
• Overcoating information is given for guidance only and is subject to local climate and environmental
conditions. Consult a Specialized Coating System representative for specific recommendations.
• This product is not suitable for immersion conditions or exterior exposure.
• Natural yellowing will occur in time.
• Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage in accordance with
information given in the STORAGE section of this data sheet.
• Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating
application procedures.
• Test performance results were obtained in a controlled laboratory environment and Specialized Coating
Systems makes no claim that the exhibited published test results, or any other tests, accurately represent
results found in all field environments. As application, environmental and design factors can vary, due care
should be exercised in the selection and verification of the performance and use of the coating
