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

Novalk 934 white is the production topcoat for painted cabinetry: durable, fast-drying, self-sealing, with enough body to hold on a vertical door. Where 932 is the heavier-bodied coverage topcoat, 934 is the everyday white that turns doors around quickly. About 45% solids. 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, over two coats of 917B primer sanded at 320. Two topcoats is the normal schedule. Sprays, brushes or rolls.

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

• NCW-80: about 3 hours of pot life
• NCW-105 long pot life: about 4 hours

Application. Apply at 4 to 6 wet mils with surface, product and air above 54°F; colder than that and the viscosity climbs sharply.

• Airless: 308 or 408 fine-finish tip at 1,600 to 2,100 psi, usually no reduction
• HVLP: 4- or 5-stage turbine minimum, 1.8 or 2.0 needle, reduce 3 to 10% with water as needed
• Brush or roll: add 5 to 10% 1034 flow additive or reduce 10% with water; brush, then back-roll with a mohair roller

Dry times at 4 to 6 wet mils: dust-free 15 minutes, handle 30 minutes, overcoat 1 hour, stackable 8 to 10 hours.

Interior use. Low VOC, zero emissions, water clean-up. Sheens 5 through 50. White base, tintable.
