Demonstrating the brand’s commitment to supporting customers to switch to low VOC waterborne systems, Aqualit T2700 delivers excellent transparency, good hardness and easy sanding. It boasts very good scratch resistance with strong anti-sagging and pore filling properties. Suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications, it is ideal for general furniture like chairs, cabinets, cupboards and tables
“Aqualit T2700 elevates the organic natural beauty of wood that customers are increasingly demanding for a trend-led finish,” said Sabrina Garasi, regional product marketing manager AkzoNobel Wood Finishes EMEA. “With different gloss levels and proven, robust durability, our latest topcoat provides an abundance of opportunities and creative freedom for specifiers and manufacturers”.
Aqualit T2700 has been specifically developed to meet the needs of customers for whom stacking properties, hardness and fast drying are key requirements. In around 30 minutes, this new clear topcoat delivers improved hardness compared to regular industrial clear topcoats.
Aqualit T2700 is the latest product in the Sikkens Wood Coatings range, following the brand’s refresh and launch of the interior product range in 2023. The brand now boasts a modern, dynamic look, in tune with today’s wood coatings market, while its portfolio of wood coatings solutions includes both interior and exterior wood coatings. As a result, Sikkens Wood Coatings can offer a one-stop-shop solution to distributor partners and end-customers alike, with a diverse portfolio to satisfy most industrial wood coatings requirements. In addition, the brand’s European distributor network and comprehensive support system provides added confidence and reassurance for general furniture manufacturers.
“Developed with decades of know-how, our coatings can be trusted to deliver both beauty and durability. Aqualit T2700 enables furniture manufacturers to benefit from seamless and easy application, along with its outstanding mechanical and chemical resistance,” said Ms Garasi.
“We’re extremely proud of this latest product introduction, which also offers lower VOC emissions to customers (compared to solvent borne coatings). Its non-hazardous formulation means easy training, seamless application and easy handling as it does not require special transport. It may also help customers toward achieving their sustainability goals.”
