Becker Acroma has enhanced its range of sprayable water-based waxes designed to impart a traditional lustre to wood and wood-based substrates.

Becker Acroma is able to draw on the local expertise and product base of its subsidiary companies. The Becker Acroma range of sprayable wax finishes reflects product development carried out in Europe.

Backed by this experience, and with an established customer base in Europe, Becker Acroma says it has brought this traditional means of highlighting the natural grain of wood into a modern manufacturing context, to the benefit of UK customers.

Clear and tinted waxes give a natural look and superior feel to furniture, allowing niche-market "hand-finished" characteristics to be achieved cost effectively and in compliance with EPA requirements. Tints include natural wood colours such as mahogany, teak, beech and ash, as well as full colours such as blue, yellow, and green.

The waterborne waxes are applied using conventional spray techniques, either directly to the substrate or as a finishing coat. The application of two coats ensures optimum surface performance, while a fashionable natural appearance is achieved by buffing the surface to a soft sheen.
