    Magnamax Precat, Clear Gloss, 5 Gallon - ML Campbell 000C14818-20

    Description

    Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss 5 Gallon Wood Finish

    Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss 5 Gallon is a clear high-performance water white hi-solids fast dry self sealing pre-catalyzed lacquer that creates a transparent protective film on wood surfaces, which supports consistent appearance across cabinets and furniture. This ML Campbell formulation has exceptional resistance to water, solvents, and household chemicals, so finished kitchen and bathroom cabinets or furniture resist common spills during everyday use. The pre-catalyzed lacquer design offers convenience and user-friendly handling, while its performance level provides the durability associated with post-cat systems, helping shops deliver long-lasting work without moving to a full conversion system. The water white clarity keeps the natural or stained wood tone visible without adding color cast, which is important for matching designer finishes. As a clear gloss topcoat in a 5 gallon size, it supports production runs where repeatable results across many parts matter.

    Clear Lacquer Details That Support Shop Work

    • This Magna Max pre-catalyzed lacquer is self-sealing, so the same material can be used for both sealer and topcoat when desired, simplifying material handling for repeat projects.
    • The hi-solids formulation builds film with fewer coats, which helps reach target coverage on cabinets and furniture surfaces in less time on the finishing line.
    • Fast dry characteristics move parts through the booth and into stacking or handling sooner, supporting higher throughput for woodworking or cabinet shops.
    • Exceptional resistance to water solvents and household chemicals supports use on kitchen and bathroom cabinets where exposure to cleaners and moisture is frequent.
    • The water white clear gloss finish maintains the look of stains or natural wood tones, which helps meet color expectations on furniture and cabinet jobs.

    Application Characteristics For Cabinet And Furniture Use

    This Magna Max water white pre-catalyzed clear lacquer is described as user friendly, which supports repeat application on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, household or office furniture, and the wood parts of upholstered furniture. Because it was designed for these applications, its drying and film properties suit the film builds and appearance typically targeted in those environments. As a self-sealing system, it allows a finishing schedule that uses Magna Max alone or in combination with designated ML Campbell sealers when a separate sealer layer is preferred. The gloss clear topcoat appearance supports furniture-quality finishes where specifiers want reflective surfaces on doors, drawer fronts, or casework panels while maintaining chemical and moisture resistance.

    Using This Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss In Wood Shops

    Where This Pre Catalyzed Lacquer Is Applied

    Magnamax Precat Clear Gloss 5 Gallon is a furniture quality lacquer designed for use on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, so it fits projects where cabinet doors, face frames, and trim need water and household chemical resistance. The product is also designed for household or office furniture, aligning with desks, tables, and storage pieces that see frequent handling. Its use on the wood parts of upholstered furniture extends the same clear gloss protection to arms, legs, and exposed frames, keeping the visual look consistent across a furniture line. Its water white nature keeps stained or natural wood colors true across these applications, which matters when coordinating cabinets and furniture within the same space.

    Finish Performance And Standards That Guide Results

    This Magna Max pre-catalyzed lacquer has exceptional resistance to water, solvents, and household chemicals, which supports performance requirements on cabinets exposed to moisture and cleaning products. The formulation meets world E-1 standards with ultra low formaldehyde, helping maintain a better work environment when used in finishing operations. Magna Max passes all KCMA tests, so kitchen and bathroom cabinet finishes built with this product align with recognized cabinet performance expectations. The system also passes AWI System 2 Pre-catalyzed Lacquer and System 5 Conversion Varnish chemical and moisture resistance tests, meaning its resistance characteristics correspond to established architectural woodwork finishing systems. The HAPSfree formulation helps finishing operations meet regulatory and shop environment goals while using a high-performance clear gloss lacquer.
