Thixo White Water Based Self Sealer 1K/2K Topcoat

The white topcoat with the best coverage in the Novalk water-based line. 932 is thixotropic, so it holds on a vertical door at a full wet film and builds an even, opaque white without sagging, and it is self-sealing, so on sound previously finished cabinetry it can go over a scuff sand without a separate primer. Over raw or stained wood use 917B primer first. About 45% solids, 58 g/L VOC. Meets or exceeds KCMA standards for heat and humidity, cold check, chemical resistance and film swell.

Where it fits. White and tinted cabinet doors, built-ins and furniture. This is the topcoat in the Starter Kit and the one our finishers have sprayed most.

Mixing. 1K straight from the can, or 2K with 5% hardener by volume for a harder, more washable film:

• NCW-80: about 2 hours of pot life
• NCW-105 long pot life: 3 to 3.5 hours

Application. Apply at 5 to 6 wet mils with surface, product and air above 54°F.

• Airless: 308 or 408 fine-finish tip at 1,600 to 2,100 psi
• HVLP: 5-stage turbine minimum, 1.8 or 2.0 needle, reduce 3 to 10% with warm water
• Brush or roll: add 1034 flow additive, or reduce 10% with water

Interior use. Water clean-up. Sheens 5 (matte) through 90 (gloss); 15 is the sheen most shops standardize on. White base, tintable.
