Raw materials for waterborne and solvent-borne wood coatings — transparency, grain enhancement and surface feel under control.
Wood is unforgiving: the film has to stay transparent, enhance the grain evenly and still resist scratches and chemicals — and with furniture, haptics come on top, from the satin table top to the dead-matt parquet floor. Waterborne systems add demands on defoaming and levelling, because every bubble and every crater stays visible in the clear coat.
Our range for this: PU and acrylic dispersions from Alberdingk Boley as the binder base, alkyd and acrylic resins from Synres for solvent-borne systems, and the BYK additives for defoaming, levelling, matting and scratch resistance — ex warehouse, with advice in conversation.
Typical defects — and where the solution lies
Bubbles and pinholes in the waterborne clear coat
Match a defoamer/air-release combination to the application method (spraying, rolling, curtain coating). — Defoamers →
Craters and wetting defects on wood
Improve substrate wetting — especially on resin-rich woods and sanded surfaces. — Surface additives →
Insufficient scratch and abrasion resistance on working surfaces
Wax additives raise mechanical resistance and control feel and matting at the same time. — Wax additives →
Balancing grain enhancement, hardness and chemical resistance
The binder choice decides: PU, acrylic or hybrid dispersion depending on the stress. — Acrylic & PU dispersions →
