CIT2
CIT2 Kromoroller dye concentrate, orange
Solvent-based dye concentrate from the Milesi Kromoroller range, used to make up wood stains. Good lightfastness, clarity and bright colour. Does not raise the grain. Can be topcoated with nitro, PU, polyester and UV lacquers. The dealer describes it as a pigment dye that evens out colour variation in the substrate; apply by spraying or by wiping.
- Colouring veneer and solid timber of any species
- Evening out colour variation between parts
- Highlighting the pores on open-grained species (oak, ash)
- Intermixing with other CIT dyes to hit a shade
- Roller-coater lines for flat panels

Binder — for wipe-on and roller application, so the colour stays in the pores and isn't dragged by the next coat.
No official page for CIC11/CIC12/CFS1. Dealer: CIC12 is a 'wiping binder for CIT pigment dyes', added to the ready-to-use CIT dye at 20–30 %, viscosity 53±3, full dry 3–4 h at 20 °C. No data for CIC11 or CFS1.

Spray-and-wipe (official 80–100 g/m²): spray, then immediately wipe along the grain — surplus comes off, pores stay dark. Best on oak and ash.
Roller

Roller coater — flat panels only. Official 5–15 g/m².
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- hand sanding with pneumatic sanders, abrasive belt P150 then P180; dust offschedule
- Goes over
- bare sanded wood (veneer or solid)
- Sanding
- Do not sand the dyed surface; denib only after the first primer coatrecommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 15–25 °C, RH 50–70 %; use S90 above ~25 °C or on large areasrecommended
- Don'ts
- Don't flood it on — you get blotches and poor primer adhesion
- Don't prime before the solvent has flashed off (at least 5–10 min in the booth at 20 °C)
- Don't use the concentrate neat
Storage
- Packaging
- 1 L, 5 Ldealer
Safety: Contains organic solvents, flammable. Use in a ventilated spray booth, wear an organic-vapour respirator, no naked flames. Keep solvent-soaked rags in a closed metal bin.
