Overview

Morrells 440 Acid Catalyst Lacquer is a professional, high build, fast drying, acid catalyst lacquer, ideal for both manual or automatic spray application. Formulated to provide outstanding resistance to abrasion, wet and dry heat, spirit solutions and a wide range of household chemicals. Meets the requirements of FIRA Std 6250 - Horizontal Surfaces. Supplied with catalyst.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for use on kitchen worktops.

Preparation

Ensure that all wooden surfaces are clean, dry and free from surface dirt, debris, waxes and oils.

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess performance and end result. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the tin at all times.

Optimum application is achieved between 18°C and 22°C with good air movement and ventilation.

Mixing Supplied Catalyst with 440 Lacquer

Catalyse 9 parts Morrells 440 Acid-cat Lacquer to 1 part catalyst by volume and mix well prior to use. The catalysed lacquer is then ready for use but can be thinned up to 5% by volume with the recommended thinner, Morrells Hydrocarbon Free Thinners, if required. Under normal conditions these products will have a workable pot-life of 36 hours after catalysis.

Application

  1. Apply lacquer with a spray applicator
  2. Leave adequate time between coats
  3. Denib between coats to aid adhesion
  4. Do not apply more than 3 coats in one day, as excessive coating weights can lead to cracking or lifting

Lacquers of this type achieve their full resistance properties after 21 - 28 days drying, although careful use is possible before this period.

Some Points of Note

  • Do not overcoat with 1K or 2K Polyurethane (PU) products
  • Product should be stored above 5°C and protected from frost
  • Finished products should not be subjected to environments with temperatures of < 2°C
  • Do not use over pigmented bases or with NC, Shellac or Precatalysed Sealers
  • Some timbers (e.g. cherry, maple etc) are prone to discoloration or reddening when using acid catalyst lacquers

Catalysing

  • Under catalysing or over catalysing can cause impairment of cure and cracking
  • The mixing of catalysed material with fresh material is not recommended
  • Always catalyse the right amount for the job

Excellent product. Easy to spray, quick drying, superior finish.

This is a first class lacquer. I sprayed a table top recently with a batch purchased in 2015 and it was still perfectly usable. giving a great finish.

A great finish.Good product & great service.

I’ve used this lacquer a number of times for my own projects in our house. A neighbour asked if I would spray her new oak internal doors as I had done ours. I used the Morrells A.C. basecoat followed by a couple of coats of this (spray application),de-nibbing with 400 & 600 grit in between coats. Dries quickly & allows me to complete the job in a day including removing & rehanging the doors. They look great & my neighbour is over the moon with them. Would definitely use this product again & I’d highly recommend it to anyone. The service from Woodfinishes Direct is also 1st class,quick delivery & very well packaged.

Easy to use ,very high build

Good product , 2 coats max before it starts looking like plastic, Dries super quick 20 mins touch dry , don't think the base coats is necessary, high build is not for high end furniture in my opinion

Easy to apply and very quick drying

It has slightly more sheen than I was expecting but that is no fault of the product.

Quality product

Found this very easy to use, with excellent results. (sprayed) never used it with a brush.

Darren Moody
Great product

Dries super quick and seems really durable. Mixing is easy enough. I do this in a jar marked at 9 and 10 cms. Must have the wrong mask as the strong smell can be choking.

It quickly dries to a nice and tough finish

The product sprays effortlessy to a nice and flat finish. It takes some time for the lacquer to achieve full hardness but when it does it's really tough and resistent.

Easy to apply using a brush even though designed for spray application.

Easy to apply by brush. Quick drying allowing multiple coats. Stays workable after mixing for more than 24 hours. Excellent looking finish.

Easy to use, quick drying excellent finish

I manufacture bespoke kitchens and furniture and have used various finishes over the years. Morrells a/c lacquer is fantastic, dries very quickly and gives a finish that is profesaional with very little expertise needed. I will continue to use Morrells products as so far, for me, nothing beats them.

Easy to use does exactly what it should

Extremely flexible product, I used it with 10% sheen finish with added lightfast stains . rhe finish was to a fairly modern table top which needed high build but not the appearance of a sprayed finish , No problem, I used a traditional rubber and built it up in layers . The hardener was perfect as I could add what was needed as I progressed . I found I could add less or more to the mix and slow the reaction down if needed by adding lightfast thinners . I also found that by adding a few drops to a fresh rubber already wet with the thinners , it was possible to harden off and level out the surface . in all , extremely flexible and forgiving product and don't be afraid to experiment .

Fab but wear chemical mask!

A regular odour/dust filter mask will not cut it this is very strong so use a hard-core industrial fullface mask and do it outside or ventilate everything and wear protective clothing if spraying. The result is worth it, our cupboards look fabulous and will definitely use again with the right gear!

This is the only product that worked for me.

Other varnish and lacquers did not take properly to the Iroko wood I am using, so I had to sand them off and start again. However, I used the Morrells and the result is perfect - very happy indeed.

Talbot Penner
Very good indeed

We had our floors (in an old vicarage) sanded and treated with three or four coats of acid cured lacquer about 18 years ago. We have refinished a few of the heavy wear areas where the carpets don't cover, and the new areas can't be distinguished from the old.

I have used this lacquer in the furniture trade and at home and it is great.

An easy to spay fast drying lacquer, you can give it a light sand with 320 grit and recoat after about 30 minuets. Great finish and a good pot life.

I've used 40% gloss acid cat before, my customers required a high gloss mirror finish. This is a great value finish, my customers agree too!
