Where to get class H ballast varnish? « on: October 03, 2021, 10:12:00 PM » Author: HomeBrewLamps
I would like to get coil varnish for some HID ballasts in the future for some of the ballasts I have laying about in need of restoration. But not sure where to look for it.

I was hoping that someone would answer this as I need some myself.
I know that MG Chemicals makes it I just have to figure out who sells it.

MG Chemicals 4228 is the red varnish I use. It looks like this when applied on a ballast. You can also use MG Chemicals 4226 if a clear/transparent product is desired. Both are rated to Class H and should be good for everything except 1000w ballasts, which use Class N varnish.

I get mine from a local electronics shop called Sayal Electronics but here's some links to you folks in the US that might need to order it. A 55ml jar is enough for around 2-3 ballasts.
