Water-Based Lacquer
Water-based lacquers or paints are water-dilutable and low-odour, making them pleasant to work with indoors. The solvent in this type of paint largely consists of water. Solvents in the paint improve flow and also make it easy to apply the paint with a roller, brush or spray gun. Our water-based paint is for indoor use.
Applicability/Market
Suitable for all types of wood and MDF, available in clear and multiple colors.
Maintenance advice
In addition to standard maintenance that applies to all wooden floors and furniture (removing dirt and dust daily), lacquered wooden floors and furniture can simply be mopped or cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Never use an aggressive cleaning agent.
