Resene stains and clears product range

Stains and clears are transparent, therefore the final finish will depend on the nature of the timber or surface being stained or clear finished.

Stains applied to light woods or surfaces will appear much stronger and brighter in colour than stains applied to dark wood or surfaces. In all cases, ensure that a stain is first trialled on a representative piece of timber/surface to ensure it gives the desired result being coating before starting work. Most wood stains will require recoating every 2-3 summers. Performance is related to the depth of colour applied, therefore light applications and dressed surfaces may require maintenance sooner, while heavier applications and rough sawn surfaces will usually require less maintenance.

Resene manufactures an extensive range of paints, stains and coatings suitable for a myriad of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Resene Cemseal

Resene Cemseal
concrete sealer and dust coat - exterior/interior - waterborne
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

Bare industrial and domestic concrete floors can be a dust trap becoming increasingly difficult to clean as dust collects in the undulations of the surface that are but invisible to the naked eye. Concrete surfaces are best protected early in their service life before ongoing maintenance becomes difficult.

Resene Cemseal is a clear concrete sealer and dust coat, a non-decorative coating designed for use on interior and exterior industrial and domestic concrete floors and trafficable areas where a low cost, easily applied and maintained method of controlling concrete dusting is required. Quick and easy to apply, Resene Cemseal imparts clear protection to a wide range of concrete applications.

Typical uses: Concrete.

Resene Clearcoat UVS protective glaze

Resene Clearcoat UVS
clear waterborne U.V. protective glaze - exterior - waterborne
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

Bright colours used outside are prone to fading in the harsh sun. Protect these more vulnerable colours with Resene Clearcoat UVS, a gloss clear finish based on a unique waterborne emulsion for ease of application and maximum life over prepainted surfaces.

We all know how damaging UV light can be. On hot summer days, human skin will burn in less than 10 minutes, at which time most of us will rush away to a nice patch of shade. Exterior paintwork does not have this luxury as it is left outside to withstand relentless UV light from the day it is applied. UV light gradually breaks down vulnerable pigments in the final topcoat resulting in a faded paint finish. Bright organic hues, such as reds, oranges, yellows and purples, are more prone to this than hues based on durable oxides.

To help protect exterior painted surfaces from colour fade, Resene Clearcoat UVS is formulated with UV absorbers to filter out harmful UV light, protecting the underlying coloured coat. Ideally suited for direct application to freshly painted bright organic hues and shades to aid colour retention by protecting these more vulnerable pigments against fading. While Resene Clearcoat UVS is not designed for use on working joinery, such as windows and doors, as it is a waterborne finish, its outstanding flexibility over timber makes it suitable for use on weatherboards. It has excellent adhesion to Resene topcoats and can be easily overcoated at a later date with other Resene waterborne paints. This product has replaced Resene Sun Defier.

While Resene Clearcoat UVS is the ideal product to protect against colour fade, if the colour chosen is prone to chalking rather than fading, Resene Concrete Clear is the recommended product to use.

Typical uses: All exterior waterborne acrylic coated surfaces except working joinery.

Resene Colorwood

Resene Colorwood
clear and coloured natural wood stain - interior - waterborne
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

Resene Colorwood is an exciting way of treating natural timbers and enhancing the grain. Gives coloured timbers with the see-through look as it allows the natural grain of all timbers to show through.

All colours can be intermixed, allowing you to create your own colours – always keep a note of any intermix recipes so you can recreate them if you need more. The finished colour is influenced by the timber colour itself, the denseness of the timber and the length of time the stain is left before the excess is wiped off. Always test Resene Colorwood on a small off-cut of timber to ensure the desired colour is being achieved. Strong colours may be difficult to achieve on hardwood and heart timbers due to lack of penetration. If the selected colour is too strong, reduce with Resene Colorwood Reducing Base.

Resene Colorwood is very easy to apply by brush or rag. For best results, wipe excess Resene Colorwood off with a dry, absorbent, lint free cloth, rubbing along the grain. This also ensures maximum adhesion of topcoats.

Overcoating is recommended to ensure the timber is protected and to maximise the longevity of the finish. Resene Colorwood is easily overcoated with Resene Aquaclear, Resene Qristal ClearFloor 1K, Resene Qristal Polyurethanes or Resene Polythane.

Typical uses: Canework, cork, doors, dressed and rough sawn timber, fibre and particle board, furniture, kitset and nursery furniture, panelling, rope, timber (imported and native), timber ceilings and beams, window and door frames.

Resene Colorwood Enhance

Resene Colorwood Enhance

Resene Colorwood Enhance can be mixed into waterborne clear finishes, such as Resene Qristal ClearFloor 1K and Resene Aquaclear, and then brush applied as part of that product to enhance the timber substrate. It takes only one pack (80ml) of Resene Colorwood Enhance to shade a litre of clear finish. You choose the level of shading. Available in white, black, jarrah, red brown and walnut tones.

Typical uses: As part of a Resene Aquaclear or Resene Qristal ClearFloor finish.

Resene Concrete Clear waterborne glaze for masonry and bricks

Resene Concrete Clear
clear waterborne concrete coating - exterior/interior
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

While concrete walls and surfaces are durable, they can be very tricky to keep clean. Small contaminants tend to get entrained into the surface of the concrete and can be difficult, if not impossible, to clean.

Resene Concrete Clear is a tough waterborne glaze for use on concrete and brick surfaces. It enhances the colour and natural beauty of concrete, brick and stone and provides a thin protective layer that can be much more easily cleaned than the bare surface. Resene Concrete Clear is non-yellowing, resistant to alkaline cleansers, chipping, peeling, oil and fat splashes. It's waterbased so it's low odour and easy to wash up in water.

You can achieve a natural looking finish with concrete finished in Resene Concrete Clear. So when you're choosing concrete don't choose bare and unprotected, choose natural look and well protected.

Resene Concrete Clear also increases the durability of high build waterborne specialist coatings and can be used over solid colour or metallic decorative paint finishes. Available in gloss, satin and flat. Resene Concrete Clear Satin may also be tinted to Resene ConcreteWash colours.

Typical uses: Brickwork/artificial brickwork, fibre cement, high build acrylics, masonry surfaces, plaster.

Resene Kwila Timber Stain
timber stain - exterior - solventborne

Resene Kwila Timber Stain is designed for direct application to new and weathered timber decks and furniture to enhance and restore the timber colour and provide protection against water, fungi, and U.V. light. As a penetrating material, Resene Kwila Timber Stain will regenerate wood fibres exposed by U.V. and weather attack and re-build them into a wood-like material. New timber should be treated with Kwila Timber Stain before assembly, paying special attention to end grains and the underside of decks, as they will be difficult to coat after the deck has been assembled.

Resene Kwila Timber Stain may be applied by brush, spray or roller. As with other wood stains, the finish will typically require maintenance after two summers. Performance is related to the depth of colour applied, therefore light applications and dressed surfaces may require maintenance sooner, while heavier applications and rough sawn surfaces will require less maintenance.

Stains are transparent, therefore the final finish colour will depend on the nature of the timber being stained. Stains applied to light woods will appear much stronger and brighter in colour than stains applied to dark wood.

Resene Waterborne Woodsman

Resene Waterborne Woodsman
coloured penetrating oil stain - exterior - waterborne
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

Sick of faded stained weatherboards or drab timber finishes? Neither does justice to any home or project exterior and they can both easily be remedied by the application of Resene Waterborne Woodsman. Resene Waterborne Woodsman is an exterior wood stain designed to colour timber, while still allowing the natural grain of the timber to show through. It is an easy way to add colour to new or previously stained timber without losing its natural beauty.

Designed for exterior timber in a wide range of colours. Decorators will enjoy the quick and easy water clean up and the absence of the solvent fumes and VOCs associated with traditional solventborne stains. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance.

Stains are transparent, so the final finish colour will depend on the nature of the timber being stained. Stains applied to light woods will appear much stronger and brighter in colour than stains applied to dark wood. As with any finishing project – regardless of the products being used – always go through the entire finishing process using scraps from the project before committing to the colour. Preferred colours can be easily tested on a representative piece of wood using Resene Waterborne Woodsman testpots.

Resene does not recommend clear stains on exterior timber as they do not provide sufficient protection for the timber against the weather. If you'd like a clear style finish we recommend you choose a stain colour close to your natural timber stain colour to provide protection and a look in keeping with the original.

Typical uses: Beams, fences, plywood and profiled sheets, timber - dressed and rough sawn, weatherboards. New formula version can be used on exterior wooden furniture.

Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour

Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour™
coloured penetrating oil stain - exterior - waterborne
Eco Choice approved Eco Choice approved

Resene Waterborne Woodsman is a waterborne woodstain matching the needs of timber to the desire to achieve the most natural appearance possible. Resene CoolColour technology performs optimally on dark colours that are the most prone to heat build-up. Designed for exterior timber in a wide range of colours. Resene does not recommend clear stains on exterior timber as it does not provide sufficient protection for the timber against the weather. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance.

Like pigmented CoolColour hues, Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour finishes retain their normal visible colour but reflect heat from the surface, reducing stress on the coating and substrate and subsequent heat related damage improving the longevity of each. The technology also minimises build up of unwanted heat in the building reducing airconditioning and cooling costs. In short, the colour looks the same as normal but reflects much more heat than normal so doesn't get as hot as the standard colour would.

Those who remember the introduction of the then new Cricket NZ black shirts will remember discussions of the new technology that stopped the shirts absorbing the heat a black shirt normally would, a heat that would be unbearable for cricket players. Resene CoolColour paint technology works on a similar premise, but instead of protecting cricketer's backs Resene CoolColour technology protects houses and buildings instead.

Resene CoolColour technology is generally best suited to colours that have black in their make-up as these tend to absorb the most heat.

Typical uses: Beams, fences, plywood and profiled sheets, timber - dressed and rough sawn, weatherboards. New formula version can be used on exterior wooden furniture.

Getting the right amount applied is critical to the optimum surface finish so Resene works with the painting contractor to ensure the quantity required per project is calculated before any product is supplied. This is a controlled distribution product - see your Resene representative or Resene ColorShop.

Typical uses: Concrete masonry, honed concrete walls.

 

Some products or services may not be offered in your area or country. Please check with your local Resene ColorShop for availability. Most products can be ordered on request though lead times and minimum order quantities may apply.

More on VOCs

In response to growing concerns over VOC emissions, the Eco Choice programme focuses on the need to reduce these emissions. Solventborne paints release significantly more VOCs per litre than waterborne paints, spurring Resene chemists to develop waterborne replacements for solventborne products. Today, less than 8% of the decorative paint sold by Resene is solventborne, while the average per litre VOC levels of Resene decorative paint sales have dropped by over 90% in the last two decades, clearly demonstrating Resene's commitment to proactively develop and launch environmentally preferable waterborne technologies to the market. Resene offers an extensive range of low VOC and no added VOC paints, coatings, stains/primers and sealers, including no added VOC tinters.

Environmentally responsible packaging

Resene metal packaging includes recycled material and is printed using U.V. inks and varnishes ensuring energy savings and no emissions. A selection of Resene product label artwork is available from this section and is provided as a handy reference. The label on a pack you purchase may differ depending on the age of the stock you are purchasing and when the pack changes over to the newer label artwork. Resene paper labels are printed on environmentally responsible paper, which complies with the requirements of environmental management systems EMAS and ISO14001, using vegetable inks. Resene prints brochures, flyers etc on sustainable paper stocks wherever possible. When you download some pdf files from this website they will refer to being printed on sustainable paper stock. This is because they are an electronic copy of what we distribute to our customers.
