    Magnamax Precat, Clear Gloss, 1 Gallon - ML Campbell 000C14818-16

    Description

    Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss For Demanding Woodwork

    Magnamax Precat clear gloss is a clear high-performance, water white, hi-solids, fast dry, self sealing pre-catalyzed lacquer formulation that provides a durable clear film on finished wood surfaces. The pre-catalyzed lacquer design offers the convenience and user-friendly features of pre-catalyzed lacquer, which supports consistent shop workflow. This formulation provides exceptional resistance to water, solvents, and household chemicals, which protects finished kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and furniture from common spills and cleaners. The product offers the high durability and performance of a post-cat while maintaining pre-catalyzed handling, which helps shops use one system across varied projects. As a clear gloss, it allows wood color and stain systems to show, supporting furniture quality work. ML Campbell positions this product within clear topcoats, so it serves as the protective final layer over compatible stains.

    Key Performance Advantages For Cabinet And Furniture Work

    • The clear high-performance, water white formulation keeps the finish from adding color, which matters when preserving stain color on kitchen and bathroom cabinets or office furniture.
    • Hi-solids, fast dry performance supports efficient production schedules, because higher solids build film quickly while fast dry timing supports timely handling between coats.
    • The self sealing pre-catalyzed lacquer formulation allows use without a separate sealer step, which simplifies finishing schedules when a standalone pre-catalyzed system is desired.
    • Exceptional resistance to water, solvents, and household chemicals helps finished cabinets and furniture handle routine cleaning and incidental spills in kitchens, bathrooms, and offices.
    • Passing all KCMA tests indicates the system is suitable for kitchen cabinet applications that are evaluated for moisture and chemical resistance in service.
    • Meeting AWI System 2 Pre-catalyzed Lacquer and System 5 Conversion Varnish chemical and moisture resistance tests aligns the product with established architectural woodwork finish systems.

    Application Uses For Cabinets And Furniture Projects

    This Magna Max water white pre-catalyzed clear lacquer is described as user friendly and furniture quality, which suits finish schedules for kitchen and bathroom cabinets, household furniture, office furniture, and the wood parts of upholstered furniture. Using it on kitchen and bathroom cabinets leverages its resistance to water, solvents, and household chemicals in rooms that see routine moisture and cleaning. Applying it on household or office furniture provides a clear gloss film that highlights stains while resisting everyday contact with common cleaning agents. Specifying it on the wood parts of upholstered furniture extends the same clear protection to visible exposed wood. The product is self-sealing, which allows shops to apply it directly to properly prepared wood when a separate sealer is not desired in the system design.

    Real-World Finishing Workflow And System Choices

    Where This Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss Is Used

    ML Campbell identifies Magna Max Water White Pre-catalyzed Clear Lacquer as designed for use on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, which places it directly in cabinet shop finishing programs. Using it on household or office furniture lets shops carry a single clear gloss pre-catalyzed system from casework to freestanding pieces, which can simplify inventory. Its suitability for the wood parts of upholstered furniture extends coverage to chair frames, arms, and decorative wood trim that benefit from a clear gloss film. Passing all KCMA tests supports its role on kitchen cabinets that face humidity, cooking vapors, and repeated cleaning, so the finish system aligns with recognized cabinet performance testing.

    How Finish System Details Support Consistent Results

    Magna Max offers the convenience and user-friendly features of pre-catalyzed lacquer while providing the high durability and performance of a post-cat, which supports repeatable film performance without changing to a different chemistry. The latest HAPSfree formulation with ultra low formaldehyde meets world E-1 standards for a better work environment, which matters for shops focused on current emission expectations. Meeting AWI System 2 Pre-catalyzed Lacquer and System 5 Conversion Varnish chemical and moisture resistance tests aligns this product with specified architectural woodwork systems, which is useful when projects reference those standards. Magna Max is self-sealing; when a separate sealer is desired within the system, ML Campbell identifies Magna Sand Sealer C115049, Krystal Sealer C156 11, or Vinyl S C100 25 as sealer options that coordinate within the finishing schedule.
