Technical Control Wood Coloring Solutions | Renewing Wood’s Essence, Authenticity in Every Detail

January 9, 2026

Color is more than just an aesthetic choice in wood finishing; it brings wood to life. The challenge is to apply color evenly and durably while preserving the natural beauty of the wood. Achieving this balance is a key technical focus in the industry.

Wood Coloring: The Essential Process

Wood coloring is a vital step in the finishing process, where the goal extends beyond simple coverage. It involves precise adjustments to hue and color unification while fully showcasing the wood’s inherent beauty. This process requires resins that meet stringent performance criteria.

What Constitutes Professional Wood Coloring?

Is a specialized resin necessary?

Standard topcoat resins often encounter issues such as poor compatibility, color streaking, insufficient water resistance, and narrow working windows. These challenges can result in unsatisfactory outcomes, decreased efficiency, and compromised durability. Technical Control meticulously designs solutions to tackle these challenges, focusing on every detail of the wood coloring process.
