Grafted Coatings Inc USA has developed a waterborne wood lacquer, KTM-9 to replace the traditional solvent based lacquers and 2 pack polyurethanes for wood treatment. In October Tonetech Ltd took delivery of the first shipment of KTM-9 stock for the UK.
KTM-9 has very low VOCs and produces a high gloss, durable finish on wood, fibreglass and steel products. It is used for musical instrument finishing, wood flooring and door finishing. Instrument finishers in the USA have found KTM-9 to be an effective alternative to the traditional solvent based lacquers.
The ease of application and low hazard rating make this lacquer suitable for professional wood finishers and amateur woodworkers alike. The product can be applied by spraying or by brush and its high flow formulation minimises the need to sand flat after drying.
