HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams introduced new cabinet and furniture paint, a new acrylic urethane enamel that provides a factory-like finish on cabinets and furniture, can be tinted to any color, and is offered in satin and semi-gloss sheens.
Both the sealer and the semi-transparent stain are formulated for all environments, even those in the harshest areas near open water. They are formulated to penetrate below the surface and create a flexible, breathable barrier that expands and contracts with environmental elements to protect against water damage.
A coating with low gloss and high transparency is the basis for a matte finish, without affecting the color strength and thus, leading to a very natural wood look even with dark tones. The work presented here outlines the development and application data of an inherently matte, waterborne acrylic polymer.
The versatile stain color enhances the natural beauty of wood grain, while providing protection on exterior surfaces that will not only elevate the aesthetic of outdoor spaces but stand the test of time.
