Wood Coatings

With the increasing need to reduce VOC content in wood coatings, desired performance such as wetting, leveling, foam control and surface repellency of water-borne wood coating are becoming ever challenging tasks for formulators. Overuse of hydrocarbon- and silicone-based additives can increase surface defects, decrease dirt pick-up resistance, and cause overall formulation complications.

In water-based and solvent-based wood coatings, the addition of Capstone^® fluorosurfactants leads to better aesthetics of furniture surfaces, thanks to better flow and leveling performance. They help reduce craters and pin holes to improve coating quality.

Recommended Capstone^® grades are available in the product selection page.
