Coating offered for different types of wood
Mango Wood
Mango wood is categorized as hardwood due to its exceptional strength, density, and attractive appearance. This durable wood is able to maintain its high luster texture for many years, making it a popular choice for a wide range of household furnishings and fixtures. From doors and flooring to beds, tables, and drawers, mango wood's fascinating grain and coloration, ranging from dark tones to light brown with hints of pink, give it a distinct and appealing look. As with many other hardwoods, mango wood will gradually darken over time. While mango wood on its own may not be the most long-lasting option, modern wood processing techniques have allowed manufacturers to enhance its durability through specialized finishing coatings. This has transformed mango into a truly robust and versatile wood that is well-suited for heavy-duty furniture pieces such as tables, beds, beams, and arches.
Acacia wood

This hardy wood can withstand the elements while maintaining its attractive appearance. However, it is important to note that while acacia wood is versatile, it should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, as this could compromise its long-term durability and integrity.
Oak Wood
Oak wood is an exceptionally strong, heavy, and durable hardwood. It has an attractive light color with a prominent, distinctive grain pattern that is highly prized for its natural beauty. One of the key advantages of oak is its resistance to fungal attack, owing to its dense constitution and long-living nature that equips the tree to withstand the elements over its lifetime. The shade of oak can vary considerably from tree to tree and even branch to branch, creating a unique and visually captivating material. When a natural finish or oil is applied, the intricate variations and contrasts of the oak wood grain are accentuated, allowing the gorgeous, organic character of the material to shine without the need for heavy ornamentation. Depending on the specific finish, oak wood can feel hard and smooth to the touch, further enhancing its premium appeal.
Teak Wood
Teak wood is a highly prized and sought-after hardwood known for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and versatility. Characterized by a generally straight grain, coarse and uneven texture, and a medium luster with an oily feel, teak wood ranges in color from a pale yellow-brown to a deep, rich golden-brown heartwood, often with grayish or white sapwood.k wood is a highly prized and sought-after hardwood known for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and versatility. Characterized by a generally straight grain, coarse and uneven texture, and a medium luster with an oily feel, teak wood ranges in color from a pale yellow-brown to a deep, rich golden-brown heartwood, often with grayish or white sapwood.
Despite its moderate hardness and weight, teak wood is renowned for its low stiffness, moderate bending strength, and excellent resistance to decay and dimensional stability. Its acid-resistant properties make it a popular choice for outdoor applications, such as patio furniture, boat decks, and other weather-exposed structures.

Despite these minor considerations, teak wood stains and finishes exceptionally well, making it a popular choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry, and other decorative applications.
Shessham Wood
Sheesham wood is an incredibly durable and versatile hardwood that is highly resistant to drywood termites. Its unique interlocked grain pattern makes it both tough and long-lasting, making it a popular choice for a wide range of furniture and woodworking applications. Sheesham wood is prized for its natural beauty, with a color range spanning from golden hues to deep reddish-brown tones, often featuring striking dark streaks that add visual interest. Its inherent resistance to deterioration and warping has made it a go-to material for creating sturdy, high-quality cupboards, tables, chairs, and other furnishings that can withstand the test of time.
One key characteristic of Sheesham wood is its high moisture content, which can make it prone to warping and damage in humid environments. To protect this valuable wood, it is essential to apply a durable, waterproof finish that can create a barrier against the elements. This not only enhances the wood's natural beauty but also helps to preserve its structural integrity, ensuring that Sheesham furniture and décor can continue to be enjoyed for many years to come. Additionally, Sheesham's excellent termite resistance makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it a versatile and desirable option for a wide range of woodworking projects.

Types of Wood Coatings
There are two primary types of wood coatings - water-based and solvent-based. Each type has its own unique properties and advantages that make it suitable for different applications. Water-based wood coatings are formulated with water as the primary solvent. These coatings are generally more environmentally friendly, with lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to solvent-based options. Water-based coatings also tend to dry faster, have a lower odor, and clean up more easily with water. They provide a smooth, uniform finish and are popular choices for interior wood surfaces like furniture, cabinets, and trim. On the other hand, solvent-based wood coatings use organic solvents as the primary carrier. These coatings typically offer enhanced durability, moisture resistance, and chemical resistance compared to water-based options. They can provide a deeper, richer look and are often preferred for exterior wood applications like decking, siding, and outdoor furniture. However, solvent-based coatings generally have higher VOC levels, require more specialized application techniques, and have stronger odors during application. The choice between water-based and solvent-based wood coatings will depend on the specific project requirements, the desired aesthetic, and environmental considerations. Both options offer a wide range of formulations and finishes to meet the diverse needs of the wood finishing industry.
Water-Based Wood Sealers
Water-based wood sealers are an increasingly popular choice for woodworking and furniture finishing projects due to their reduced environmental impact and health risks. These sealers have a lower concentration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) compared to traditional solvent-based options, making them a safer and more eco-friendly alternative. One key benefit of water-based sealers is their lower toxicity. The reduced VOC content means that users are exposed to fewer harmful chemicals, providing a healthier working environment, especially in enclosed spaces. Additionally, water-based sealers are generally less flammable, reducing the risk of fire hazards during application. Sansui offers two high-performance water-based wood sealers:
Sealer 686303 - This sealer provides excellent stain resistance, helping to protect the wood from discoloration and preserving its natural beauty.

In contrast, NC (Nitrocellulose) coatings are solvent-based, single-component wood finishes that remain popular due to their ease of application, fast drying times, and competitive pricing. While they may offer some advantages in terms of productivity, the higher VOC content and associated health and environmental risks should be carefully considered when selecting the appropriate wood coating system.
