EM7000hbl: Our Non-Yellowing Wood Lacquer

100% Burn-In Technology in a Water Based Formula

EM7000 High Build Lacquer is a cool, ultra-clear and non-yellowing water based lacquer that utilizes advanced copolymer resins and HAPs-Free solvent technologies to provide 100% burn-in functionality and a unique, self-leveling wood lacquer finish. EM7000hbl is formulated for use in a wide range of applications as a superior replacement for nitrocellulose lacquer and solvent based conversion varnishes. Our high build wood lacquer provides a fast drying lacquer system with exceptional clarity, color magnification, and outstanding adhesion qualities, all in a Low VOC, 100% water based system. Unlike other solvent-based and oil-based lacquers, EM7000hbl is non-flammable, cleans up with soap and water, and makes storage and disposal safe and simple.

Excellent Topcoat for Pigmented Wood Finishes

EM7000 High Build Lacquer features exceptional optical clarity when applied over pigmented wood finishes, like our EM6500 or EM6600 pigmented lacquers. Our high build lacquer will provide an ultra-clear, non-yellowing, hard shell lacquer finish to protect the underlying color coat. We recommend the use of our SA5 Retarder as an additive to form a uniform film over fully cured paints and base coats.

Additional Information

Excellent Adhesion Capabilities

EM7000 High Build Lacquer features a unique adhesion characteristic that allows it to bond to a wide variety of properly prepared substrates such as wood, plywood, engineered wood substrates, exotic woods, non-ferrous metals, plastics, PVC, stone, masonry, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. This feature gives greater latitude of use for the finishing professional when working with EM7000hbl.

Using our High Build Lacquer over Oil Based Stains

EM7000 High Build Lacquer can be applied over your favorite oil based stain or gel stain. Proper surface preparation for application of our water based production lacquer over oil based stains or gel stains is as follows:

Oil based stains and gel stains need to be thoroughly dried and cured. This varies by manufacturer but is usually 18-24 hours after application of the stain. Please consult with the stain manufacturer for drying times of the product you are using.
Lightly wipe the surface of the oil based stain with a mixture of 1:1 water and denatured alcohol. No scrubbing necessary, just a light wipe to remove any oily residue from the surface. Allow the water/alcohol mixture to fully flash off and dry from the surface.
For the best results, your first coat of EM7000 High Build Lacquer should be a light “tack” coat to allow for the best adhesion to the stain and to confirm compatibility. From there you can proceed as normal with your build coats of our water based topcoat.

Because there are many variations in formulas for products on the market today, we recommend as a standard finishing practice that a sample is made and tested for product compatibility, proper adhesion and bond of topcoat to base substrate.

Using our High Build Lacquer over an Oil Based Polyurethane or a previously applied solvent based lacquer finish

EM7000 High Build Lacquer can be applied over oil based polyurethane and most previously applied solvent based coatings. Our water based lacquers will burn-in to previously applied nitrocellulose or oil based lacquers. Proper surface preparation for application of our water based high build lacquer over previously applied oil based or solvent based finishes and topcoats is as follows:

Newly applied solvent based finishes will need to be thoroughly dry and cured before application of EM7000hbl. Dry times will vary by type of coating and solvent base. Please consult the manufacturer of the solvent based coating for dry times.
Old solvent based finishes will need to be thoroughly cleaned of any contaminants.
Scuff sand both new and old finishes with fine, 220G – 320G, sandpaper.
Wipe down both new and old finishes with a mixture of 1:1 water and denatured alcohol. Allow the water/alcohol mixture to fully flash off and dry from the surface.
Application of our EM7000 High Build Lacquer can proceed as normal.

How to Enhance Topcoat Durability

EM7000 High Build Lacquer can be fortified with our CL100 CrossLinker to create a post-catalyzed type lacquer. The addition of 3% by liquid volume of CL100 will improve the physical durability of our High Build Lacquer by tightening the molecular structure of the cured resin. CL100 improves the resistance of the cured film against high pH cleaners, alcohols and slow evaporating household chemicals. View the CL100 CrossLinker TDS to see directions for use and more information.

Works great on Cherry.

Great products and support

As a custom guitar builder I have used the EM1000, EM6000 & EM7000 for a couple years now. It is great to utilize a more environmentally and health friendly alternative to traditional solvent based products that provides quality results from color shading to mirror buffed clear coat.

EM7000 for cabinets

EM7000 performs very well. It is easy to spray, levels out exceptionally well, and dries quickly. The finish is extremely hard which is great for the finish coat on cabinets. I switched from General Finishes Clear Poly which for my experience is not as hard and durable as EM7000. It is difficult to scratch the EM7000 finish. My only negative is EM7000 is not 100% clear white. There is a slight color shift towards a warmer yellow color with the EM7000. Nothing close to the color shift from oil finish, or other finish that ambers the wood, but there is a difference from the natural wood color that does not happen with General Finishes Clear Poly. That being said, I still switched from GF Clear Poly because of the ease of application and finish hardness.

Note: I am a hobbyist woodworker and not a professional cabinet maker.

As others have stated, easy to use and very forgiving. I've always had success spraying it, even in 90Â° weather in my two car garage shop. I've used it with and without the Crosslinker CL100 and noticed no discernible difference with the application process or the characteristics of the finish (layout, dry time). I typically use the satin sheen and it provides a beautiful, even finish with wonderful depth and clarity.

I've had a chance to try the reformulated version of this product and it is a joy to use. It seems to resist runs and sags on vertical surfaces and it's easy to use and very forgiving. I unknowingly sprayed a section of cabinet frames with a clogged aircap and it still came out looking great. It becomes durable faster and the stain sheen is just right. It's the "money coat" for my pigmented cabinet finishes.

Jeff -- Thank you for the awesome post! Yes, the new EM7000HBL is a very good formula and we are receiving similar responses from other professional finishers who have switches-over to it. Again, many thanks!
