Sustainable Waterborne options for wood coatings

 

Our R&D activities and worldwide presence enables us to offer waterborne resin Esacote®, or Polymeric matting agent Decosphaera® , suitable for water, solvent and 100% system.  Our portfolio is completed by Viscolam, wide range of synthetic rheology modifiers and Adiwax, emulsions and preparations for solvent system.

Among Esacote® families, we select formulations and solutions suitable for requested chemistry; from Solvent free PUDs with high mechanical resistance for parquet, to Self-crosslinking Copolymers for furniture and kitchen.

Wood is naturally gorgeous surface with different haptic effects. We guide our customers in their selection of Esacote® self matt PUDs to achieve the emphasis of beauty and softer touch of wood. All the self matt resins are designed carefully to give unique warm touch, excellent brushstroke and levelling. In many cases they replace general matting agent, either as co-binder for one-component system, or as main binder for two-component system.
