AC WOODLAK®
Catalyst FD
A low-odour, all-weather acid catalyst for AC WOODLAK® lacquer systems.
AC WOODLAK® Catalyst FD is a professional-grade acid catalyst developed specifically for use with the Specialized Coating Systems AC WOODLAK® lacquer range. Formulated with a medium-evaporating solvent blend, it delivers reliable acid-catalysed crosslinking while significantly reducing solvent odour in the workplace.
Designed as a lower-odour alternative to AC WOODLAK® Catalyst 20, Catalyst FD performs consistently across medium to hot ambient conditions. It is ideal for enclosed production facilities, spray booths, and on-site installations where reduced odour and operator comfort are important without compromising cure speed, finish quality, or durability.
Available in 1L & 5L.
