Water Based Wood
Topcoats
Van Technologies has created a line of topcoats that far exceed the performance of any
other water based topcoats for today's market. These topcoats are clear and durable
and when combined with the appropriate sealer system, exhibit no secondary grain raise.
They are the newest, highest quality waterborne coatings on the market. All of our
water based wood topcoat series are available in satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss.
Here are the water based topcoats that Van Technologies currently carries:
VanAqua-280 Water Based Wood Topcoat
The VanAqua-280 series is an outstanding water based acrylic topcoat.
This topcoat has a very smooth and clear appearance and is very low in V.O.C. and
H.A.P. levels. VanAqua-280 is a great all purpose topcoat. When used with
a catalyst available from Van Technologies, it passes KCMA requirements. This
topcoat is tough enough for furniture, cabinets, doors and millwork applications. VanAqua-280
acrylic should be applied over VanAqua-240 clear wood sealer for best
performance, and a highly compliant operation! The VanAqua-280
series water based wood topcoat is designed to be used as an air dry economical wood
topcoat. The recommended application of VanAqua-280 water based
wood topcoat is either by spray, brush, or roller coating methods although others may be
appropriate. When used with VanAqua-240 wood sealer as a system,
the finished surface has minimal grain raise and it dries fast at normal room temperatures
and humidity (within 15 to 30 minutes). The properties of VanAqua-280
series acrylic topcoat may be enhanced by the use of V-Cat 110
crosslinker. The crosslinker, increases water and chemical resistance as well as
adhesion properties.
