Clawlock Post Cat Primer is a high performance, high solids, two-component postcatalyzed amino-alkyd primer and undercoater, so it builds a strong base coat that supports demanding furniture, cabinet, and fixture finishing systems. As a ML Campbell product, it ties into a finishing system many shops already use, which helps keep results consistent from job to job. The primer is formulated as an undercoater for furniture, store fixtures, and cabinets, so it fits naturally into production workflows where predictable adhesion and film build matter. Its design as the start of a high performance pigmented finishing system means it prepares surfaces for uniform color coats, reducing rework from uneven coverage. The white 5-gallon format suits production and shop environments where multiple pieces are processed in batches.
This Clawlock Post Cat Primer is engineered as a base coat for the start of a high performance pigmented finishing system, so it slots into finishing schedules where reliable primer build is critical before color topcoats. Because it is high solids and fast drying, it supports shop workflows that move from prime to sand to subsequent coats with less idle time between steps. The excellent sanding characteristics described for this primer mean that once cured, the surface cuts cleanly without gumming, helping technicians flatten fibers and pores efficiently. As a primer and undercoater for furniture, store fixtures, and cabinets, it supports consistent film build across door faces, case parts, and trim, which helps maintain an even appearance across assembled pieces. Its role as a postcatalyzed system also aligns with catalyzed topcoats in coordinated ML Campbell systems.
ML Campbell Clawlock Post Cat Primer is especially developed for filling the open pores of MDF board, so it is well suited to painted MDF cabinet doors, shelving, and case components where edges and faces need a smoother base. The same formulation is also suitable as a high performance primer and undercoater on wood, allowing one product to serve solid wood, veneer, and MDF parts in furniture and fixture projects. Clawlock is specified for furniture, store fixtures, and cabinets, so it fits projects ranging from retail display runs to residential kitchens using a single primer system. The primer can be used on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, where a solid base helps pigmented systems cover evenly across doors, drawer fronts, and frames. It is also used on dormitory, household, office, or laboratory furniture, supporting a consistent appearance across varied installations. The suitability for display fixtures and the wood parts of upholstered furniture lets production shops standardize on one undercoater for many interior components.
This high solids, fast dry primer offers good production properties, so batches of furniture and cabinet components move through prime, sand, and finish with less wait time, supporting predictable scheduling. Clawlock provides an excellent base coat for the start of a high performance pigmented finishing system, so color coats lay down over a more uniform substrate, helping reduce visual variation between panels. The product is described as having excellent sanding characteristics, so once the primer is cured, technicians can achieve a smooth surface that accepts further coats cleanly. Its formulation with ultra low formaldehyde release matters in shop environments concerned with formaldehyde levels while still needing a high solids, postcatalyzed system. Being a two-component postcatalyzed amino-alkyd primer, it integrates into finishing lines already built around ML Campbell postcatalyzed systems. ML Campbell also notes related products such as M.L. Campbell Lacquer Thinner (C16036), Care Retarder (C1611), and Care Reducer (C1621), which tie this primer into a broader finishing workflow from the same brand.
