Low odour, low VOC systems that still look like lacquer.

Waterborne is a different chemistry, not solvent with the smell turned down. The gun, the room, the wash-up and the sample door all change. Done properly, you still get a specified sheen and a stored colour.

When waterborne is the right call

• Occupied sites and schools where solvent is not acceptable
• Workshops tightening VOC and odour without dropping a matched colour
• Furniture and joinery that can live with the chemical resistance of the waterborne stack we specify

When it is not: a fire strategy that still needs a certified solvent FR system, or a chemical-resistance brief that still wants two-pack PU. We will not convert those by accident.

Sirca interior waterbase

Clear and pigmented interior waterborne lacquers for furniture and joinery. Typical quote-builder packs are 4.5 / 5 kg and 25 kg, with matt and semi-gloss sheens. We colour match this product on the spectrophotometer and mix it on the Corob dispenser — say “Sirca waterborne” on the order so the formula is stored on the right line.

Lacquerite waterbase

Low-VOC waterborne systems under the Lacquerite name: self-sealers, stain base and liming paste for interior wood. Packs include 4 litre / 5 kg. If you already run our solvent lines, this is often the cleaner conversation for a line switch.

Switch a line, not a single tin

Bring a door that already exists in solvent. We match colour and sheen on the waterborne system you will actually spray, then you run a full sealer-plus-topcoat sample. Moving a solvent line to waterborne covers booth, humidity and dedicated wash-up.

Store waterborne where it cannot freeze. A tin that sat on a porch in January can look fine and still spray cloudy. See storing lacquer.

Colour matching on waterborne bases

Same workflow as solvent pigmented systems, different formula. Tell colour matching it is waterborne.
