- • Finish Quality: Hard, protective finish that highlights natural wood grain without yellowing
- • Best for: Homeowners and DIYers needing durable interior protection for furniture and floors

Quick-drying polyurethane creates a hard, scratch- and stain-resistant film. Water-based, non-yellowing formulation preserves original wood colour and cleans up with water.
Hard-wearing protection – Thanks to extra tough quick-drying polyurethane
Extra tough quick-drying polyurethane cures into a solid film that resists abrasion and household stains. The rapid cure increases surface hardness so coatings stand up to knocks and scuffs.
A durable surface reduces the need for frequent re-finishing and keeps furniture looking cared for under daily use.
Natural colour retention – With water-based, non-yellowing formulation
A water-based formulation uses low-yellowing resins that maintain timber tone and grain clarity over time. Low-odour solvents are replaced with water to reduce colour shift.
Lighter woods retain their original appearance rather than warming with age, so interiors stay true to the chosen finish.
Easy maintenance and tidy application – With water clean-up and low odour
Water-based chemistry allows brushes and tools to be rinsed with water, avoiding solvent-based cleaning. Low odour makes indoor application more comfortable for household use.
Cleaning brushes is straightforward and fewer strong smells mean projects can be completed indoors with less disruption.
