Zetagì has created a new sample collection for its “Holzfreund” water-based systems with the aim of presenting their actual coating results as realistically as possible. The new samples include 14 wood blocks treated with the 681 series’ primers, ranging from the Neutral “681000” colour to all other tints: “Honey 681429”, “Chestnut 681005”, “Larch 681194”, “Light Walnut 681128”, “Oak 681322”, “Reddish Walnut 681125”, “Walnut 681001”, “Dark Oak 681008”, “Douglas 681002”, “Mahogany 681006”, “Ebony 681007” and “Green 681116”. The samples faithfully reproduce the results obtainable, although the properties of the substrate and the humidity of the wood at the time of application, of course, may affect the yield of the products. Given the interest of international markets, the collection of samples is available in two languages, Italian and English.
The water-based primers from the “681” series are formulated with special high quality water-soluble resins. They have been specifically designed for the treatment of window and door frames in coniferous woods such as pine, finger joint pine, fir, and lamellar pine, as well as beams and matchboards in general.
Their excellent spreading qualities enable them to effectively penetrate the surfaces without lifting the wood fibres. In order to ensure good weathering resistance, the substrates can be over-coated with Holzfreund water-based finishes, featuring excellent water resistance and surface hardness, as well as good film elasticity and very high adhesion properties. Such characteristics allow them to adapt to any temperature and climate change, thus ensuring a long service life and maintaining the high aesthetic value of the frames treated.
