Stains

The wood coating process has the precise function to enhance and improve the aspect of wood, by highlighting its grain and pore. Stains give a clear or semi-covering, uniform and lasting colour to wood, and they reduce the chance of colour fading. Stain application enhances even the most common woods, which become aesthetically more agreeable.

Stains can be both water and solvent-based.

The particular formulation of water-based stains offers the following advantages:

They guarantee excellent wettability to the supports;
They distinguish themselves for their high aesthetic performances of clearness and enhancement of woods,
They are non-flammable
They contribute to reduction of emissions.

Solvent-based stains are particularly indicated to meet the needs of industrial production, as their good aesthetic performance matches their high drying rapidity, guaranteeing very high productivity standards.

The range includes:

Solvent-based stains

Concentrate dyes
These concentrates have to be used in the colouring of clear paints such as nitro-cellulose or polyurethane. They have good colouring power and make wood bright and clear. The colours are characterized by good light resistance even though they are not suitable for sun exposure.
