EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer

The philosophy behind the new EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer is to offer a truly clear, ultra-low VOC water based wood coating that allows the true substrate color to reveal itself while remaining multi-functional in its intended use. This new product is engineered to function as:

1. Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner/Sealer
2. Clear, Universal Sanding Sealer
3. Color Delivery Vehicle, i.e. special effects spray stain, shading/toning vehicle or used as a translucent stain when tinted with universal pigments

EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer is “water white/clear” in the can. This clarity benefits the finisher in two ways:

1. EM1000 maginifies and enhances the natural color of the wood fiber as it saturates into the cell structure of the substrate.  The color effect of this saturation is very similar to super-blonde dewaxed shellac, illuminating the wetted wood without darkening or dulling the wood fiber.  The final effect is a greater clarity that allows the natural substrate to reveal truer color tones.
2. EM1000 aids the finishers "color eye" when using the EM1000 for shading/toning and performing color matching duties.

Whereas a traditional acrylic emulsion such as EM6000 Production Lacquer dries clear on wood, it can be difficult to add colors for shading and toning and to determine your color value/strength when working in its liquid format. When using the EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer, it is easier for the finisher to visualize the direction the color strength and value is proceeding in before taking the sealer directly to the wood substrate for further evaluation. Granted, all color matches must be performed and evaluated on the final substrate of choice, but having a color vehicle that gives the finisher a clearer visual reference point "in the beaker" makes the job that much easier and faster.

EM1000 can be tinted with any water-soluble dye. Also, custom pigment toning/shading colors can be made when the EM1000 is tinted with water-based UTC colorants.
