Dyes and pigments for wood and glass

Wood is stained using highly transparent, finely micronised pigment dispersions that allow the natural grain of the wood to remain visible beneath the colour finish. Luengo Color's Luengofine range achieves a particle size below 0.5 µm in 95% of the dispersion, ensuring optimum penetration and a transparent, glossy and durable finish in wood paints and varnishes.

Yes. The Luengofine range is designed precisely for this: its high transparency allows the colour to stain the wood without obscuring it. Through its interaction with the refractive index, it enhances the natural look of the colour and the absorption of UV radiation, making the finish more durable outdoors. An extensive chart of wood shades can be created from just four basic colours. For this use, the best option is Luengofine Dye.

Yes. The Luengofine range is compatible with wood varnishes, lacquers and paints in both water-based and solvent-based systems. The available families are: Luengofine (water-based, eco-friendly), Luengofine Univertint (universal base, also compatible with fast-drying alkyd enamels) and Luengofine Industrial (solvent-based, for technically demanding systems). All offer excellent storage stability and resistance to settling.

Yes. The Luengofine range is suitable for application on glass, as well as in the automotive sector (lacquers and varnishes for vehicle surfaces) and plastics. Its ultra-micronised formulation provides the transparency required in applications where the underlying substrate must remain visible.
