Wood Paints & Coatings Help In Beautification And Preservation Of The Natural Texture Of Wood3/7/2023 Wood furniture and wooden surfaces need to be coated for protection as well as beautification. This can be achieved with a wide range of products that have different characteristics for their intended use. Lacquers are quick drying dust free finishes that require spray application. They are made from nitrocellulose or other synthetic materials. Wood Paints & Coatings have excellent hiding power and are used above all in gloss topcoat systems. A coat of primer is an important step in the painting process. It gives paint something to lock onto, and also hides surface stains so that the color chosen is all that shines through. Primer paint can also help tone down dark colors. Porous surfaces like bare wood and newly-installed drywall can be difficult for paint to lock onto, causing splotchy and uneven coverage. A light sanding and a coat of primer paint can solve this problem. JONCRYL primers are low-VOC, which means they produce very few wafting pollutants. They also contain no toxins such as n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or other reproductive toxicants, and meet stringent sustainability regulations. To prepare the walls before applying a coat of JONCRYL ECO wood primer, start by washing the area with a soap and water mixture. This will remove any grease or grime that could prevent the colored coat from sticking as well as killing any mold spores. Alternatively, a mold-neutralizing oil-based primer can also be used. An undercoat further strengthens the primer or sealer by filling any gaps and imperfections. It also creates a uniform surface for the topcoat to adhere to. The undercoat is especially useful on metal surfaces that may bleed or rust after being exposed to moisture. While many people attempt to skip the undercoat for faster painting projects, it is a vital part of any paint job. Without the undercoat, it takes more coats of paint to achieve full coverage and protection. It also provides a barrier to moisture, which can cause wood and metal to rot or decay. Choosing the right primer, undercoat and sealer for the project will depend on the chosen surface, as well as the type of paint to use. Using the wrong products can lead to poor adhesion, durability and quality of the finished project. A topcoat provides the final appearance, gloss and structure. It also helps achieve some performance characteristics of the coating system such as adherence to the base coat, galvanic substrate corrosion protection and color and effect properties. Lacquer, varnish and shellac are clear topcoats that can be applied to wood. They are derived from tree resin or synthetic resin dissolved in alcohol. They are only used over lacquer or shellac base coats, as their solvents can cause non-lacquer basecoats to run. Water-based topcoat paints provide a high-gloss shine that can be tinted with dye or color if desired. They dry to a transparent finish that protects and enhances the stain color layer underneath. They are breathable and maintain flexibility to withstand extreme weather conditions and resist damage from abrasion. They are easier to work with than solvent-based paints, and they do not emit toxic fumes when they are drying or curing. They can be applied by brush or spray. A high quality finish helps keep the beauty of wood installations for a long time. This is especially important with log homes, where many of the wood components are exposed to sun and rain on a regular basis.
