WOOD LINE

These two-component products that form a film through a polymerization mechanism between a base and a hardener, currently represent the largest consumer group in the furniture and interior wood structures varnishing sector. Surfaces decorated with this type of product offer a great balance between their aesthetic qualities and their resistance, both mechanical and chemical.

This family represents another large consumer group for interior wood treatments. In a similar way to conventional polyurethanes, the products of this family are presented in two components that must be mixed prior to use. Their main difference lies in the chemically unalterable nature of the film formed, which is why they are recommended for use in those situations where it is desirable to avoid long-term color changes or “yellowing”.

Usually chosen for their ease of use and speed of process, these one-component products do not require a hardener for their film formation. However, as they are thermoplastic polymers, their resistance to temperature, abrasion and staining with chemicals are not comparable with those of other alternatives.

This special type of polyester resins offer the possibility of formulating high-solids products that provide great filling and coverage in basecoats, and shine or luster in topcoats. Presenting themselves as three-component products, extreme precautions must be taken in the storage and handling of the elements that make up the catalytic mixture, ensuring that the initiator and accelerator do not come into direct contact under any circumstances.

Our ecological commitment and concern for the environment leads us to develop an alternative to the use of traditional solvent-based products. In this family we find monocomponent, transparent or pigmented basecoats and topcoats, and the most innovative two-component polyurethanes, which offer performance comparable to their solvent-based counterparts, significantly reducing their VOC content.
