CLT11

CLT11 Kromolux wood dye concentrate, yellow

Concentrated transparent wood dye from the Kromolux range, yellow. Very uniform, high concentration — lets you build deep, saturated shades while staying transparent. Thins with water or with solvent; use it with or without a binder. All dyes in the range can be intermixed in any ratio.

  • Colouring all kinds of wood species (solid and veneer)
  • Evening out colour variation, tinting, imitating precious species (yellow tones)
  • Base for mixing custom shades with other CLT dyes

Mixing matrix

  • S10 / S12 / S90Thinner
    % by weight: 500–1000 (typ. null) %dealer% by volume: 500–1000 %dealer

    Solvent-borne version. Per the catalog (p.19): S10 is fast, for fine-pored wood (beech, maple, birch); S12 medium, for medium-pored wood; S90 slow, for large-pored wood (oak, ash). S12 is also the dye thinner in all Technocolor schedules. S90 also helps on large panels and in heat (fewer lap marks).

    More thinner (towards 1000 %) = lighter, more even shade. The dealer captions them 'thinner for PE / for NC / slow dye thinner / water' — generic captions; dye use per the catalog.

    % by weight: 500–1000 %official% by volume: 500–1000 %official

    Alternative thinner listed on the official CLT series pages.

    Listed on the official CLT1-CLT9 pages (CLT11's page has no mixing block); the dealer lists only S10/S12/S90/water for CLT11 — confirm with Technocolor. No LZC97 product page in the sources.

  • WATERThinner
    % by weight: 500–1000 %dealer% by volume: 500–1000 %dealer

    Water-borne version — less smell, slower drying, raises the grain.

    Deionised (distilled) water only — tap water can make the dye flocculate and lose colour stability in the can.

  • CFS1Additive
    % by weight: 0–200 %dealer% by volume: 0–200 %dealer

    Binder for the solvent version (with S10/S12/S90): locks the dye in, less bleeding into the primer, more even on end grain.

    Dealer labels the CFH1/CFS1 pair 'solvent / water binder' in reversed order; Technocolor's schedules pair CFS1 with S12 (solvent) and CFH1 with water. 0 % = no binder.

  • CFH1Additive
    % by weight: 0–200 %dealer% by volume: 0–200 %dealer

    Binder for the water-thinned version.

    See note under CFS1.

    Analogue: 'Raised-panel doors (PU)' schedule for CTU dye: CTU 100 / CFS1 200 / S12 500, 80-100 g/m², 5 min dry at 20-25 °C. CLT isn't in any schedule — treat as a guide only.

    Moulding (UV) schedule: CTU 100 / CFS1 150 / S12 500, 80 g/m², 5 min at 25-30 °C.

  • WATERThinner

    Water-version analogue: 'Beech veneer worktops (PU)' schedule: CTH 100 / CFH1 400 / water 1000, 80-100 g/m², 20 min dry at 20-25 °C. Note 400 % binder is above the 0-200 % the dealer gives for CLT.

    The schedule at this URL is headed 'Open-pore oak kitchen fronts (Acr.)' on the site (site bug), but the content is CTH dye + PTS60 (PU) primer. 'Beech chairs (PU)' schedule: CTH 100 / CFH2 800 / water 1200, 30 min dry.

Process and compatibility

Substrate preparation
Sand faces P150-P180-P220, profiles/edges with K60-K80 pads (per Technocolor schedules). Dust off. For the water version, pre-wet, dry and de-nib to raise the grain first.schedule
Sanding effect
Coarser sanding = more dye uptake = darker; finer = lighter. Sand every part to the same grit.official

Temperature and humidity

Don'ts
  • Don't thin with tap water — deionised only
  • Don't sand the dye coat
  • Don't lay it on heavy and wet — blotches and runs
  • Don't mix water- and solvent-thinned batches

Storage

Packaging

Safety: Concentrate composition is unpublished (it thins with both water and solvent — likely glycol/alcohol-solvent based): treat as flammable; spray with extraction, an organic-vapour (A) respirator and gloves. Solvent-thinned dye is highly flammable; the water version gives off less vapour, but don't breathe the mist.
