Acrylic Water Based Lacquers
Acrylic Waterborne Lacquers deliver low-odour, environmentally friendly wood finishing for furniture, cabinetry, and interior joinery.
These systems include Primers for strong adhesion and smooth surface preparation, and Multi-Coats & Finish Coats that provide excellent clarity, fast drying, and durable scratch resistance. Ideal for residential and commercial interiors, acrylic lacquers offer long-lasting beauty with reduced VOC emissions and professional-grade performance.
Primers
SpecWood® WB Roller Coater Filler Primer - Standard
A one-component, water-based acrylic primer/surfacer formulated specifically for machine roller coater / extrusion application on wood and MDF panel lines.
Designed to seal and prime in a single pass — protecting against moisture and mechanical damage while delivering high filling characteristics that hide minor surface imperfections. Rapid drying and excellent sanding properties enable fast overcoating cycles, and early block resistance allows for fast stacking, wrapping, and handling of coated panels. High white, a subtle sheen, and a smooth feel make it an excellent foundation for topcoat application.
SpecWood® WB Roller Coater Filler Primer - High Performance
A premium one-component, water-based acrylic primer/surfacer formulated for machine roller-coater application on panel lines.
Designed to seal and prime in a single pass — protecting against moisture and mechanical damage while delivering high filling characteristics that hide minor surface imperfections. Rapid drying and excellent sanding properties enable fast overcoating cycles, and early block resistance allows for fast stacking, wrapping, and handling of coated panels, making it an excellent foundation for topcoat application. Compared with the Standard grade, the High Performance variant provides higher coverage and yield, and superior whiteness.
SpecWood® WB Roller Coater Filler Primer - XPS
A one-component, waterborne acrylic primer, surfacer and matt finish coat in one, formulated specifically for polystyrene substrates.
Designed for soft and rigid polystyrene extrusions — window profiles, door trims, building mouldings and protective casings — it gives strong adhesion to these non-porous surfaces along with vibrant colour and good water, chemical and abrasion resistance. Its flexibility and impact resistance suit components that are handled or moved frequently, while good coverage at low film builds delivers a durable, flawless finish. Fast drying for quick stacking and storage, low odour and non-flammable.
SpecWood® WB Spray Filler Primer - Standard
A one-component, water-based acrylic primer/surfacer formulated for spray application on wood and MDF panels.
Designed to seal and prime in a single pass — protecting against moisture and mechanical damage while delivering high filling characteristics that hide minor surface imperfections. Fast drying and excellent sanding properties enable efficient overcoating cycles. High whiteness, subtle sheen, and smooth feel make it an excellent foundation for topcoat application. The everyday workhorse spray primer of the SpecWood WB range.
SpecWood® WB Spray Filler Primer - Rapid
A one-component, water-based acrylic primer/surfacer formulated for spray application with rapid drying and anti-blocking properties — engineered for high-throughput production environments where panels are stacked, wrapped, and handled quickly after coating.
Same protective sealing and filling performance as the STANDARD variant, but with faster sand and stack times and significantly reduced adhesion between coated surfaces (the anti-block property). The preferred primer for fast-cycle factory operations.
SpecWood® WB Spray Filler Primer - High Performance
A one-component, waterborne, thixotropic high-build filler primer with fast drying and easy sanding for closed-pore lacquer finishing on both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
Like the Standard and Rapid grades, it seals and primes in a single pass, hand- or machine-sands easily, and provides an excellent foundation for topcoat application — low odour, non-hazardous and non-flammable. As the high-performance grade, it has a higher solids content that delivers superior filling and improved durability for applications that demand it.
SpecWood® WB Tannin & Stain Blocking Primer
A one-component, water-based, self-crosslinking acrylic primer that forms a super-hydrophobic, flexible film with strong tannin- and stain-blocking and exceptional intercoat adhesion.
On wood it locks in tannin migration from hardwoods and blocks stains such as nicotine, water-damage marks, crayon, ink, tea, ketchup and mustard — ideal for premium joinery (windows, doors, frames and cladding) where extended weathering and tannin-locking matter, and for refurbishing stained or aged timber before repainting. It can also be used over masonry, drywall and previously painted surfaces, interior or exterior.
Multi Coats & Finish Coats
SpecWood® WB Pre-Colour
A one-component, fast-drying water-based penetrating stain designed to colour bare wood while enhancing the natural grain.
Unlike traditional solvent-based stains, PreColour is available in solid colours as well as traditional wood tones — and is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Penetrates uniformly to add depth of colour, can be used to hide differentiation in wood colour, or as a first layer in combination with oils for rich, uniform finishes. Water-based, non-flammable, no harmful odours or fumes, and cleans up with soap and water.
SpecWood® Aqua Stain & Seal
A one-component, water-based, low-sheen 2-in-1 stainer and sealer that colours, protects, and seals interior and exterior wood in a single product.
Combines the colour-imparting properties of a penetrating stain with the film-forming protective properties of a sealer — reducing the number of products and coats required to finish bare timber. Excellent adhesion, non-yellowing, and water-based for low odour and easy cleanup. The “one-step” wood treatment product in the SpecWood WB range — sitting between the pure penetrating PreColour stain and the surface-film Impregnating Preservative primer.
SpecWood® WB Impregnating Preservative
A one-component, water-based, solvent-free polymer primer containing lignin-reactive components designed to chemically prevent the natural degradation of lignin in soft and hardwoods.
Lignin is the naturally occurring polymer that gives wood its rigidity and rot resistance; protecting it extends the life of both the wood and the coating system applied on top. Deep-penetrating, water-resistant, and the foundation primer in the SpecWood WB exterior wood system (decking, cladding, outdoor timber). Must be applied to bare wood for proper penetration.
SpecWood® WB HP Acrylic Multicoat Lacquer
A one-component, waterborne, self-crosslinking acrylic multicoat lacquer — formaldehyde-free, fast drying, with self-sealing properties. It needs no activator, yet dries to a tough, durable, mar- and stain-resistant film.
Formulated for all interior wood and furniture, it is best suited to open-pore finishing with excellent grain accentuation, and can achieve a closed-pore finish built up over multiple coats. Non-yellowing, with excellent clarity and good scratch resistance, it stands up to chemical and mechanical stress — ideal for demanding environments such as school furniture and restaurants.
SpecWood® WB WoodLak Acrylic Multicoat Lacquer
A one-component, water-based acrylic clear lacquer for general interior wood finishing.
It provides reliable protection and a clean, clear finish, with the low odour and easy water clean-up of a water-based system — a cost-effective everyday topcoat for furniture and joinery.
SpecWood® WB Acrylic Deck & Wood Outdoor
A one-component, water-based, self-crosslinking acrylic topcoat for exterior wood. Highly flexible and weather resistant, with strong abrasion resistance and very low water absorption, it moves with the timber under thermal and moisture stress without cracking.
Designed for exterior joinery such as windows, doors, frames, fascias and cladding, as well as garden and patio furniture, pergolas, balustrades, handrails and light- to medium-traffic decking. It resists liquid and salt water, ethanol, coffee and red wine, and carries a silver/BIT biocide system for mould and algal resistance. Water-based for low odour and easy clean-up, and formulated for South African conditions. It can also be used on interior wood surfaces that require high mechanical and chemical resistance.
