Protecting Wood from Moisture, Mold, and Sunlight
Achieving Vivid Colors and Transparency Using Special Nano Pigments
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC has launched the premium wood protective finishing paint "Royal Wood," targeting the premium segment of the wood protective finishing paint market, which has been dominated by imported products.
Royal Wood is a paint that can be applied to various types of wood such as wooden houses, Hanok (traditional Korean houses), pensions, landscaping facilities, and benches. Due to the nature of wood, material protection is important, and this product, as a film-forming paint, shows superior film formation compared to conventional penetrating paints. The durable film strongly protects the wood from external environments such as moisture, mold, and sunlight through water repellency, antibacterial and antifungal functions, and UV protection.
In addition to its protective functions, it also enhances the inherent aesthetics of wood. The key point of wood is to provide an eco-friendly feel through its grain and patterns. The paint color should not be overly vivid to obscure the wood grain, nor too transparent to make the color faint. Royal Wood applies special nano pigments to simultaneously achieve vivid color and transparency. With a total of 12 sophisticated colors (Clear, Royal Burgundy, Royal Pepper, Royal White, Royal Oak, Royal Evergreen, Royal Mahogany, Royal Walnut, Royal Sky Blue, Royal Teak, Royal Peanuts, Royal Ebony), it transparently showcases the texture of the material, maximizing the naturalness and luxury unique to wood.
Unlike existing domestic products, it uses a low-odor solvent to reduce discomfort from smell during application. It also has high viscosity, preventing the paint from dripping or splattering, allowing for neat work. The product is available in various sizes?0.9ℓ, 2.5ℓ, 3.5ℓ, and 16ℓ?so users can select the amount needed and apply it with brushes, rollers, or sprays according to the site conditions.
A KCC representative stated, "Royal Wood is a premium wood paint that effectively protects wood while naturally enhancing the grain and patterns with beautiful colors," adding, "Imported products have often been regarded as superior to domestic ones in the wood protective finishing paint market, but starting with KCC’s Royal Wood, the excellence of domestic products will become well known."
