Sikkens Wood Coatings introduces new stains and topcoats
20 June 2023As part of an eye-catching Sikkens Wood Coatings brand refresh, parent company AkzoNobel has introduced a full range of stains and new topcoats to give customers even more design and creative flexibility.
The waterborne range of stains includes Wipe on Patinas, which provide an easy-to-apply option and countless design possibilities for pre-coated wood, while its Aqua Creative range offers pigmented stains with good hiding power and options for both opaque and transparent finishes.
The solvent-borne options include Universal Stains, offering a palette of very bright, colourful hues, to Antique Effect Patina and Vintage Patina Glaze for an entirely different look.
In addition, new topcoat products being introduced to the Sikkens Wood Coatings line-up include Aqualit Color T4401, a 1K opaque high-quality waterborne coating with great performance. Ideal for furniture, cabinets, and interior joinery, Aqualit Color T4401 is suitable for all types of wood and is available in a wide range of colour options, thanks to the Sikkens Wood Coatings waterborne tinting system.
Similarly, Aqualit Color T450-10 is a waterborne 1K or 2K topcoat offering consistent reduced gloss with good filling and hiding power, and great mechanical and chemical resistance. The lightfast properties of this new coating give it excellent resistance to fading.
Another key product in the expanded interior portfolio is the new Quantum T264-03 – the ultimate matt clear PU acrylic topcoat. Anti-fingerprint and resistance to scratches enable this solvent-borne 2K ultimate matt clear topcoat to provide a beautiful and lasting appearance every time.
“Our partners and end-users can now find a wide range of inspirational colour options with our new stains and topcoats for interior applications,” said Henri Bijsterbosch, global colour marketing manager, industrial coatings, AkzoNobel. “We offer countless hues according to NCS, RAL and Sikkens Wood Coatings 5051 collections, and provide associated colour fan decks and colour tools with real colour chips to help customers with their colour and design decisions.”
Sikkens Wood Coatings’ colour technology tools, including a spectrophotometer colour measurement device, enable colour matching with ease and confidence, said the company. In addition, the Sikkens Wood Coatings colour software, available to distributors with selected fit-for-purpose tinting machine options, puts any imaginable colour at the fingertips of customers.
“Our creative thinking goes beyond the can,” said Mr Bijsterbosch. “Our practical, end-to-end approach to colour adds real value to customers, giving them access to a wide range of versatile, high-performing coatings to suit every application and enable them to express their own creativity.”
