Wood coatings must be applied in multiple layers to the surface of wood panels or highlight the wood’s natural grain, while providing a finish that is scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, and pleasant to the touch. In wood coatings, TAIGA Additives’ wetting agents reduce the surface tension of the coating, promoting its penetration into the wood’s vessels and pores and preventing white spots (whitening) caused by trapped air. Leveling agents eliminate brush marks and orange peel by adjusting the surface tension gradient, achieving a highly transparent, mirror-like finish for wood topcoats. Scratch- and wear-resistant agents contain micro-crosslinked silicone microspheres that form a dense layer of silicone molecules on the paint film surface, enhancing scratch and wear resistance as well as tactile comfort.
