AkzoNobel recently launched its Selva Pro range of 2K polyurethane and acrylic coatings systems for the professional and industrial woodworking community, beginning in the United States.

The systems, which will be part of the Chemcraft wood coatings product portfolio, draw inspiration from the rich heritage and craftsmanship of trusted, Italian-inspired formulations.

The Selva Pro range is backed by decades of industry expertise and research and development to provide proven, well-rounded performance for drying time, sanding, hardness, chemical resistance and pot life.

All elements of the new systems are being manufactured in modern, North American facilities using high-quality raw materials and following stringent standards for quality assurance.

The Selva Pro range includes three systems, offering a full spectrum of sheens from high gloss to dead flat and limitless colour possibilities for the most creative imaginations.

Selva Pro Chiaro and Selva Pro Bianco are high-build, high-solids, clear and pigmented 2K PU systems that provide robust protection for wood against wear and moisture, making them ideal for areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Both Chiaro and Bianco are durable yet soft to touch, formaldehyde-free, and have minimal odour. They share the same hardener with a consistent 2:1 mix ratio, simplifying the process for the user.

The third system, Selva Pro Acrilico, is a 2K acrylic system. Its smooth formulation enhances wood grain and is ideal for expressive and/or high-quality wood-types.

Acrilico comes with multiple finish options: a pigmented topcoat; a neutral topcoat; a clear topcoat; and a clear ‘Naturale’ topcoat which has a modern dead flat finish inspired by the latest trends.

As with Selva Pro Bianco, the Acrilico neutral topcoat, when used with a neutral base, offers excellent tinting stability.
