Solvent-borne Coatings and Lacquers
In the vast majority of our European wood coating assortment we only use mild solvents such as esters and alcohols and we avoid using aromatic hydrocarbons.
Benefits of Sherwin-Williams Solvent-borne Coatings
One-pack systems
One-pack systems are often the easiest to work with because of their good application properties and long pot life. Most are fast drying, especially at increased temperatures and some have a built-in hardener that activates on application.
Two-pack systems
Two-pack systems require a hardener or catalyst to dry/cure. They typically have excellent application, curing and stacking properties in modern application lines and produce hard, chemical-resistant surfaces. Typically, our two-pack systems consist of polyurethane and acid-catalysed products.
The largest two-pack group is acid-catalysed products. Using acid-catalysed products is cost-effective, offering fast curing, chemical resistant, attractive surfaces.
Increase surface resistance with Futura Clear Lacquers
It is a one-pack lacquer with built-in hardener and is formaldehyde and isocyanate free. It also comes as a two-pack lacquer with increased surface resistance. Using Futura Clear is fast and easy and can be supplied in several degrees of gloss and applied using any industrial method.
Achieve a natural look with Natura Clear Lacquers
For a natural look Natura Clear is ideal. This one-pack range of lacquers offers invisible protection against spots and handling and can be used to great effect with Natura Ton. The Natura Clear range is formaldehyde and isocyanate free. With the ability to be applied on any substrate, using conventional industrial methods, these products can also be supplied for electrostatic application. Natura Clear is fast drying, producing a resistant surface that complies with Möbelfakta demands. Newly sanded surfaces produce the best results and all low-gloss grades can be brushed to yield a wax-like surface.
Types of solvent borne coatings
Entré Primer, Paints and Textured Paints
Entré is a range of one-pack paints that is formaldehyde and isocyanate free. Easy to handle when treating furniture, the whole range can also be applied using any industrial method.
Entré Prime: a fast drying, white one-pack primer with built-in hardener and high solids content for high-build properties. Use with Entré Top or Entré Tex for a full surface, one-pack system.
Entré Top: a range of fast paints can be supplied in any colour and in several degrees of sheen, from matt to glossy. We can also supply Entré Top as a two-pack paint for increased surface resistance and it can be applied over Entré Prime and Sherwin-Williams UV or waterborne primers.
Entré Tex: a one-pack texture paint that produces resistant surfaces and covers minor defects in the substrate. Supplied in most colours.
Care Sealers, Lacquers, Primers and Paints
A range of two-pack acid-catalysed sealers, lacquers, primers, paints and textured paints with minimum formaldehyde emission.
Care Seal: clear sealers for light colour surface treatments.
Care Clear: is a range of lacquers for home and furniture, joinery and maritime fittings that are high-build and have been developed for use with Sherwin-Williams stains. Care Clear can be supplied in several degrees of sheen, from matt to glossy and can be applied using all industrial methods. We can also vary the qualities for special needs, type of line and drying equipment.
Care Clear can be supplied as:
- Electrostatic qualities with high thixotrophy to counteract running
- Line lacquers for extremely short lines
- Lacquers for extra high-bodied surfaces
- Non-yellowing lacquers
Care Prime: is a range of primers that are high-build and fast drying. They are easy to sand and can be overcoated with most types of paints and lacquers.
Care Top: is a range of paints producing a highly resistant, high-quality finish. Being all-round products, they suit most substrates and application methods, furnishing you with a rational, cost-effective method, using just a few products. Care Top can be supplied in any colour and any degree of gloss.
Care Tex: is a two-pack texture paint producing a very high surface resistance. The textured look covers minor defects in the substrate while increasing the scratch resistance of the surface. Care Tex can be supplied in any colour.
