EBS (Euro Blaze Stop)
Innovative Fire-Retardant Clear Wood Coating system
EBS is a FIRE-RETARDANT CLEAR WOOD COATING SYSTEM accomplishing the EUROCLASS Bs2d0 by the EN 13501 standard. It’s a high solid solvent-based paint built on advanced 2k alkyd-polyurethane chemistry.
It also performs on NON-FIRE RATED BOARD by EN 13238:2010 which means, by the EN standard that, unlike most of the competitor’s FR paints available on the market which are only suitable for Fire Rated boards, our product is appropriate for all kinds of wooden boards in class D (combustible material), such as massive timber, MDF or veneer.
EBS only requires a super tiny quantity of product per square/meter (gr/m2) which means a great cost saving.
UNICOLOR / ACQUACOLOR
Bisoluble wood dyes / Water based wood dyes
UNICOLOR’S: TRULY “UNIVERSAL WOOD STAINS”
UNICOLOR are special wood dyes/stains for indoor applications as formulated in bi-soluble solvent dispersion. These dyes could be thinned down with both water and solvent or with a combination of the two. Thanks to the particular formulation, UNICOLOR dyes meet most of the application systems and methods like: spray, wiping, roller and through manual and/or automatic equipment.
ACQUACOLOR: THE LATEST GENERATION OF WATER BASED WOOD-DYES
ACQUACOLOR are superb water based wood dyes for indoor applications, containing very low solvent content with low impact to the environment. Thanks to their special formulation, ACQUACOLORS meet most of the application systems and methods like: spray, dip-coating, flow-coating, wiping, roller and through manual and/or automatic equipment. ACQUACOLORS are supplied in high concentrated solutions to be thinned down accordingly to the color chart part of this brochure.
ACQUASHADE AND SOLVASHADE
INDOOR WOODEN STAINS BASED ON MICROPIGMENTS WITH EXCELLENT LIGHT FASTNESS
The “SHADE” series of stains are highly concentrated colouring solutions for wood. Specifically formulated for indoor wood usage, with excellent light fastness, thanks to theirs formulation with micropigments, is water soluble (the ACQUASHADE serie’s) or soluble in organic solvents (the SOLVASHADE serie’s). These innovative wood dyes with their special formula allows them to become the best choice for most indoor industrial wood painting cycles:
- spray
- brush
- wiping
- roller
- dip coating
- flow coating
EXTERIOR
A RELIABLE CHOICE
Nature is astonishing and plant life is surely amongst the most fascinating living organisms.
The wood that nature supplies to us is a natural and warm material, perfect from all points of view. Consisting of organic material, it experiences a natural degradation over time where the leading causes of such degradation can be attributed to;
- Ultraviolet rays from the sun that break up the wooden structure, causing the peeling off of the paint film.
- “Blue fungi”, which causes discoloration and putrefaction which leads to detaching matter (they are also responsible for the “grey color” of wood on the outside).
- High temperatures on the surface cause brittleness of the film: a window or shutter exposed to the summer sun light can easily reach +60°C (+140°F).
DECAPE’ EFFECT
PATINE WITH DECAPE’ EFFECT (Shabby Chic)
Special solutions available in solvent based or water based dispersion, used to obtain the particular effect similar to the pictures of this brochures. They perform an extremely easy “sand ability,” colour coverage, overcoat ability (intercoat adeshion with the clear finishing non yellowing top layer) and light fastness properties.
COLOR RANGE
We supply 5 patinas in ready colours (solvent based), and thanks to our special vehicles and the pigments formulated with micro pigments and with high light fastness, it’s possible to create an endless colour assortment (solvent based or water based). In this brochure you will find some colour suggestions easy to self colour match.
