Wood is naturally gorgeous surface with different haptic effects. We guide our customers in their selection of Esacote® self matt PUDs to achieve the emphasis of beauty and softer touch of wood. All the self matt resins are designed carefully to give unique warm touch, excellent brushstroke and levelling. In many cases they replace general matting agent, either as co-binder for one-component system, or as main binder for two-component system.
