Wood Coatings

Kitchen & Furniture Manufacturing Industries

Enhancing the appearance and durability of wood for 125 years.

Few companies have our experience in formulating coatings for solid wood, veneer, MDF and laminates. Over the years, our reputation for creating innovative and sustainable technologies has seen our coatings used by leading manufacturers of wood products, locally and internationally, and we continue to develop new technologies for improved aesthetics and productivity.

Our wood coatings range includes;

  • PU Lacquers, Clear and Pigmented

  • Waterbased Primers & Topcoats, 1K/2K, pigmented

  • Waterbased and Solventborne Stains

  • Dual Cure Products

  • UV Curing Lacquers

  • Acid Catalyst Lacquers, Clear and Pigmented

  • Sealers

Colour Availability: Standard Colour Cards (e.g. RAL) + Custom Colour Matching (depending on the systems chosen)

FCS Waterbased White Primer

✓ Next Level Application Properties

✓ Superior Test Results 

✓ Ultra Low Impact on Environment

✓ Excellent Adhesion on Veneer, Solid Timber, MDF & Re-Coatable Foil

FCS Water-Based White Primer is an advanced coating, specifically engineered to deliver superior results in application efficiency, coating performance and environmental compliance. Featuring ultra-low VOC emissions, the product’s quick-drying properties make it an ideal choice for high volume manufacturers.

Thanks to its moisture resistant, low water content formula, FCS Waterbased White Primer offers a robust solution against grain raising without compromising on adhesion and sandability.

In addition to offering high opacity at low film thicknesses, our waterbased primer also excels as a tannin-blocking coating and minimises discoloration through subsequent coating layers. For improved tannin resistance, we recommend the primer to be used as 2K.

Moisture Resistant

Enhancing durability in humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Tannin Blocking

Acts as an effective barrier against tannins and extractives in wood species making it ideal for high-end joinery and cabinetry work.

For best results, 2K use is recommended.

Low Water Content, High Opacity, High Coverage, Less Material Use

Thanks to its Thin Film Coating Technology (TFCT), FCS Waterbased White Primer provides excellent hiding power at low film builds, reducing the required wet film weight and increasing productivity

FCS PU Wood Lacquer

“specifically developed for high volume industrial manufacturing”

Built on a robust PU formulation, our latest generation PU Wood Lacquer utilises modern raw materials that ensure long term visual and mechanical performance of the coated components, as well as conforming to the current environmental standards and regulations.

Depending on the chosen wood substrate and required application, FCS PU Wood Lacquer can be applied as a one-coat system over the FCS Easy Sand High Build Basecoat, or as 2-coats of lacquer (coat-on-coat) straight after the staining stage. Either options provide a visually seamless surface that highlights the natural characteristics of the wood and stain colour.

Easy to apply and cure, FCS PU Wood Lacquer is suitable for high volume industrial production environments such as kitchen and bathroom furniture manufacturing industries. 

✓ Strong Adhesion on Solid Hard & Soft Wood, Veneer, MDF, Re-coatable Foil, ABS Edge Banding, Polyester and PU Primer & on FCS Easy Sand High Build Basecoat

✓ Highly Durable, Fast Drying PU system

✓ Strong Resistance to Basic Chemicals & Cleaning Agents

✓ Excellent Resistance to Moisture and Marring

FCS Easy Sand High Build Basecoat

Sprayed and sanded easily & leaves no sanding marks

FCS Easy Sand High Build Basecoat is one of our latest innovations that is capable of sealing various types of wood substrates, including Solid Hard and Soft Wood, Veneer and MDF, without being absorbed into pores and grains.

Thanks to its fast drying, high-build formulation, the product rapidly creates an even surface over wood grains, allowing a strong, buildable hold for the subsequent coats.

Use of advanced materials in our Easy Sand High Build Basecoat means that there is no compromise on the product’s sanding properties either. Once applied, sanded and cleaned, the coating shows no residual sanding marks, making it an ideal product for lacquering over. When used in combination with suitable FCS Wood Lacquers, manufacturers can benefit from fast cycle times, reliable application and long-lasting protection over wood substrates. Especially recommended for high volume production environments such as kitchen and bathroom furniture manufacturing industries.

✓ High Build Material - Very Effective in Filling Wood Grains Prior to Topcoat Application

✓ Exceptionally High Grain Filling Properties on Solid Hard & Soft Wood, Veneer, MDF

✓ Fast Drying Formula, Easy to Sand and Leaves No Sanding Marks

FCS PU Tinting System

Easy to Apply - Visually Appealing - Technically Advanced.
