Water-based wood coatings are a type of surface treatment that is applied to wooden surfaces to provide a glossy and protective finish. They are made up of various percentage chemical components dispersed in water, with the binder being an acrylic or polyurethane resin emulsified or dispersed in water.

Water-based coatings are considered environmentally friendly as they have a much lower solvent content, which makes them less harmful to the environment and human health. They produce a hard yet flexible and durable finish that is resistant to scratches, abrasions, and chemicals.

Water-based coatings are known for their ease of application and fast productivity. They  also offer a high degree of elasticity over time, which allows the paint film to follow the movements of the wood without being damaged.

Hydroplus water-based coatings are designed to reduce the absorption of moisture and solar radiation. In this way, they guarantee advantages in terms of resistance to the outside and reduction of solvent emissions. The transparent and pigmented Hydroplus thixotropic topcoats have good elasticity, absence of blocking phenomena, good vertical hold, excellent distension, and good resistance to tin sedimentation.
