MicroShades® is a unique coloured pigment system designed to enhance the natural beauty of treated timber.
Koppers MicroShades® is a pigmented colour product that is an “in-solution” system and has been specifically developed for timber treated with MicroPro® preservatives.
The MicroShades® colour system uses micronised iron oxide pigments. Iron oxide colour pigments are also used in commercial exterior grade paints and stains. The MicroShades® pigment is applied during the pressure treatment process giving the timber deep colour penetration which cannot be matched with a brush-on product.
Unlike dye-based colour systems, the MicroShades® colour pigment system provides superior colour fastness. The MicroShades system exhibits longer lasting colour when compared to natural cedar and kwila wood species.
The MicroShades® system gives an attractive and consistent medium brown colour to timber in external applications.
Active Ingredients: MicroShades® colour system uses micronised iron oxide pigments, bound into an acrylic binder.
