The CL100 water based cross-linker is a zero VOC chemical additive which can be used with all Emtech water based wood finishes. It is used to improve the appearance and resilience of water-based coats by coupling the resin molecules of the film forming finish into tighter, harder bonds when fully cured. This product offers an extended pot life and resin/catalyst reactivity in comparison to traditional acid catalysts

CL100 will remain active in water-soluble resin solutions up to 10 days after initial induction. Gelling and hardening is not likely if the cross-linked material is stored in a hermetic container or a pressurized fluid handling system.

Coatings cross-linked with CL100 cross-linker will provide an improved water, chemical abrasion and scratch resistance, as well as an improved adhesion to extreme substrates.

For Professional Use Only

Directions for use

Add cross-linker to the final coat only.

Measure 2-5% of CL100 based on the quantity of water-based coating to be catalyzed. You can use the numbers below:

  • For 2% concentration:
    • 32oz / 946ml of coating: 0.5 fl oz / 15ml
    • 1 Gal / 3.7 L of coating: 2.5 fl oz / 75ml
    • 5 Gal / 18.5 L of coating: 12 fl oz / 355ml
  • For 5% concentration:
    • 32oz / 946ml of coating: 1.5 fl oz / 45ml
    • 1 Gal / 3.7 L of coating: 6.5 fl oz / 190ml
    • 5 Gal / 18.5 L of coating: 32 fl oz / 946ml

Gently stir the selected water-based coating while slowly adding the pre-measured CL100 into the coating. Continue to gently stir the cross-linker/coating mixture for 5 minutes. Allow the cross-linker/coating to react for a minimum of 30 minutes before using.

For best results premix cross-linker/coating 2-4 hours before applying. This will ensure optimum catalyst reaction time and flow/levelling performance of the coating during spray or brush applications.

So far so good.

I've used this now in the 5000 primer and the 6500 lacquer with great results. It seems to have hardened the primer nicely where I can sand it smooth and there's still plenty of primer left even on rounded corners. (Obviously you can still sand right through it but it's quite resilient with careful sanding). I would watch a 10-15 minute YouTube video as I was mixing the cl100 a little bit at a time and continuously stiring just to make sure I was super slow and careful so as to avoid any issues. Used these combos on a painted stair railing project with awesome results.
