Wood & flooring
Water-based coatings for surfaces that must stay clear over time and withstand foot traffic and cleaning.
Water-based coatings for wood and flooring
On wood, polyurethane dispersions replace solvent-based coatings in an industry where reducing emissions has become a requirement rather than an option.
On wood flooring the main demand is abrasion resistance from foot traffic combined with colour stability: an aliphatic dispersion does not yellow on exposure to light, unlike an aromatic one.
Typical uses
- Clear coatings for wood flooring
- Furniture and interior finishes
- Protective coatings on wood
- Impregnation and finishing

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most
Because aliphatic dispersions retain colour stability and do not yellow on exposure to light, which is essential on clear finishes.
Polyurethane dispersions can reach high abrasion resistance. Polycarbonate is the base that offers the highest resistance.
It depends on the wood species and on how the surface has been prepared. The full cycle should be defined together with the laboratory.
The stresses are different: flooring demands higher abrasion resistance. Separate formulations are normally used.
