The Heubach Group, a provider of comprehensive colour solutions, has launched their latest advanced pigment preparations for luxurious wood finishes. An optimal solution for tinting natural wood stains and oils that are derived from oils such as linseed. As such Hostatint SA preparations do not require special labelling, making them perfect to replace traditional dyes.
With low viscosity, advanced sedimentation behaviour, high tinting strength and consistent quality, they are easy to handle and restrict migration into waterborne or solvent borne topcoats.
“Unlike any other material, natural wood can create a warm and beautiful atmosphere. It is extremely versatile and has been described as ‘the new concrete’, used for everything from new building structures and façade cladding to green space fencing and interior decoration. Hostatint SA helps to maintain, preserve and enhance this common building material with your colour of choice,” said Alexander Wörndle, global technical marketing coatings at Heubach.
In addition to this new product line, Heubach offers further pigment preparations lines for wood coatings—from traditional to contemporary shades.
