Clawlock Post Cat Primer is a high performance, high solids, two-component postcatalyzed amino-alkyd primer and undercoater that builds a reliable base coat for furniture, store fixtures and cabinets where a pigmented finishing system is required. This ML Campbell formulation in black gallon format serves as the first step in a high performance pigmented system, so installers and finishers can establish uniform color and hiding before topcoating on production work. The ultra low formaldehyde release design supports demanding interior furniture and cabinet environments where finish systems must address air quality concerns while still delivering production speed. Because this primer is engineered with fast dry characteristics, it supports efficient workflow between coats, which matters when multiple cabinet doors, drawer fronts or fixture components are moving through a spray booth or finishing line.
This Clawlock primer and undercoater is designed for both MDF board and wood, so a single product can be used across cabinet doors, drawer fronts, face frames and flat furniture components in the same job. It is especially developed for filling the open pores of MDF board, giving that substrate a more uniform, sealed surface before topcoating, which helps reduce fiber raise and visual porosity in the final finish. Because the primer also works as a high performance undercoater on wood, it suits mixed-material projects where MDF panels meet solid wood frames. Its fast dry behavior supports staged workflows, where parts can be primed, sanded and moved to pigmented topcoats in a coordinated sequence on the shop floor.
Clawlock Primer/Undercoater is specified for furniture, store fixtures and cabinets, so it fits shop-built casework, display units and residential or commercial cabinetry that call for a pigmented system. It is suitable for kitchen and bathroom cabinets, allowing fabricators to build a consistent primer base across doors, drawer fronts and end panels in these moisture-prone rooms. The primer also suits dormitory, household, office or laboratory furniture, aligning with projects ranging from student room casework to office storage units and lab benches that require an opaque, pigmented appearance. For display fixture applications, this product supports uniform color and hiding across MDF and wood components, helping retail and commercial installations present a consistent visual standard. Because it is suitable on the wood parts of upholstered furniture as well, manufacturers can tie visible frames and trim pieces into the same pigmented finishing system as their casework.
The high solids formulation of Clawlock Primer helps installers and finishers build a substantial film quickly, which is important when trying to hide MDF edges, fill open pores and create a uniform base for pigmented coatings. As a two-component postcatalyzed amino-alkyd system, it provides a robust undercoater layer that supports adhesion and appearance of the subsequent topcoats in the finishing stack. The fast dry nature of the product means parts can move from spray to sand to topcoat without long idle times, which is valuable in cabinet shops and furniture plants running multiple batches per day. Excellent sanding characteristics keep the primer surface manageable during denibbing and leveling, leading to smoother topcoat laydown and a more refined final look on cabinets, store fixtures and furniture. The ultra low formaldehyde release formulation matters for interior installations such as dormitory furniture, household cabinets and office pieces, where the cured system becomes part of occupied spaces over the long term.
Clawlock Post Cat Primer is a high performance, high solids, two-component postcatalyzed amino-alkyd primer and undercoater, so it forms a strong base layer for pigmented finishing systems on furniture, cabinets and fixtures.
Clawlock Primer/Undercoater can be used on MDF board and wood, allowing one product to handle mixed-material cabinet doors, furniture parts and store fixtures within the same finishing system.
Clawlock is described as high solids because it deposits more material per coat, helping fill MDF pores, level wood grain and establish better hiding before pigmented topcoats are applied.
Clawlock Primer has ultra low formaldehyde release, meaning the cured primer layer is formulated to limit formaldehyde emissions, which matters for interior furniture, cabinet and fixture installations.
Clawlock Primer has fast dry characteristics, so primed parts reach sanding and recoating stages sooner, supporting tighter schedules on cabinet, furniture and store fixture finishing lines.
