ARBOLUX™
liquid coatings
OVERVIEW
The wood liquid coating solution
It’s the oldest building material on the planet. But wood is still a huge part of how we want our homes and offices to look and feel. From flooring to cabinets and siding to tables, we furnish living and working spaces with wood everywhere we can. Wood has a timeless beauty. But it isn’t ageless. Coatings in wood paints, stains, and sealers help protect it from scratching, discoloration, stains, and other wear and tear. They preserve their desired color, texture, and gloss.
ARBOLUX™ is a series of industrial wood coatings that includes sealers, topcoats, varnishes, glazes, stains, dyes, and lacquers to protect and enhance the wood.
It is specially engineered to highlight the natural beauty of all types of wood and is available in a wide variety of chemistries to fit nearly any application
