Unicolour Stains


The ”
UNICOLOR” are the new generation of wood dyes, very high concentrated, dispersed in bivalent solution. This allows them to be both mixable with water or thinners (mainly used one is acetone). They are fit for all kinds of timbers and, although they are not properly out-dooring dyes, they have a quite high light resistance. They are commonly employed by spraying, but brush and dip coating application are also possible; for the proper use they are generally diluted 1:8 or 1:10 The final result is a uniform colour with an excellent transparency that underlines the wooden beauty. The further next layer of coat with solvent-based paint do not change the colour (“non bleeding dyes”), while, with water based products, tests to examine the behaviours of the painting cycle are required. The “UNICOLOR” are over coat-able with nitrocellulose (NC), polyurethane (PU), acid cured (AC), and after a proper sealer, with polyester (PE) coatings. When added in small percentages to the last NC/PU coating, they aid to light the colour by uniforming the wooden dye, without leaving a “plastic” effect to the article.   It’s also possible add to the “UNICOLOR”, during their application, a nitro solvent-based “vehicle” (carrier), or a proper IDROFLOW (water based carrier). In this way a better colour uniformity will be achieved, even on “difficult” timbers.   The “UNICOLOR” series is available in 7 base colour and 10 derivate colours. On demand and for quantities “tailor made” colour can be executed.   SUITABLE TIMBERS: Beech tree, ash, fir, pine, oak, walnut, frakkè, Sweden pine, yellow pine, hemlock, teak.
