EmTech®1000 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,
- Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner/Sealer,
- Clear, Universal Sanding Sealer.
- Color Delivery Vehicle, i.e. special effects spray stain, shading/toning vehicle or used as a translucent stain when tinted with universal pigments.
So far this product has shown great diversity in its performance qualities and ease of use in all three arenas.
EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer is “water white/clear” in the can. This clarity benefits the finisher in two ways.
- It allows the natural wood color and image to react in a way that is very similar to solvent-based sealers,
- it 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 such as MIXOL pigments or Golden Fluid Acrylics.
