Please Order a AFM Swatch Book to be sure of the color you are ordering.

AFM Safecoat Ecolacq is a tintable high gloss lacquer that's non-toxic and has no off-gassing of toxic chemicals. It's a perfect water-based substitute for high solvent lacquers that can be applied to most woodwork such as cabinets, furniture, doors, windows, etc. This product is a tintable version of AFM Safecoat Acrylacq.

AFM Safecoat Ecolacq is also available as a matte or gloss finish.

Like most lacquers, Ecolacq will produce a beautiful glossy finish when sprayed, but without nasty odors. It can be tinted to any AFM color and has the appearance of high end gloss paint. It is extremely durable and is water and scratch resistant.

Safecoat Ecolacq also is an encapsulating sealer that will block VOC emissions from chemicals that have been applied beneath its surface. We always recommend testing a sample first before using to be sure of adequate bonding and for your own tolerance levels.

NOTE : For priming over a raw unsealed unpainted wood surface use AFM Safecoat Ecolacq Sandable Primer. For priming over painted, stained, or other sealed surfaces, use AFM Transitional Primer AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer

NOTE : For professional results please read the Pro Ecolacq Spray Guide located on the right margin in a downloadable pdf.

Why We Like It

Finally, AFM Safecoat has created an alternative for re-painting cabinets that painters love. It's easy to spray and it produces the kind of finish that everyone expects from a lacquer.
