Hydroplus water-based varnishes, formulated to reduce the absorption of moisture and the sun’s radiation, deliver advantages in terms of outdoor resistance and reduced solvent emissions. Hydroplus thixotropic topcoats, transparent and pigmented, are non-blocking and offer good elasticity, good vertical hold, excellent flow and good resistance to settling within the can. In order to ensure good outdoor resistance, Hydroplus-series products have been formulated with an optimal dose of UV absorbers, with the addition of free-radical scavengers. While the former reduces wood yellowing and the lignin destruction, the latter increases durability of the outdoor exposure considerably as they reduce the issues of chalking and loss of gloss, in addition to boosting the effectiveness of the UV absorbers.
Synthetic products for woodwork exposed to the elements are normally made with long-oil alkyd resins. These products feature excellent application conditions, frost resistance, initial gloss, non-blocking, chemical resistance, reduced grain raising, suitable for application to all species of wood, quality price.
