CPH10

CPH10 water-based pigmented wood stain, white (concentrate)

Water-reducible pigmented wood stain in white, supplied as a concentrate. Evens out colour variation, hides wood defects, levels well and is lightfast. Used for whitewashed/Scandinavian looks on light timbers and to lighten other CPH stains.

  • Staining furniture in any timber species
  • Whitewash and pastel tones under clear lacquer
  • Lightening other CPH stains by intermixing
  • Tinting exterior coatings (catalog, CPH series)

    % by weight: 400–600 % of concentrateofficial% by volume: 400–600 % of concentrateofficial

    Standard dilution for spraying

    Clean (ideally demineralised) water. More water = lighter, more translucent tone with more grain showing.

  • waterThinner
    % by weight: 400–1000 % of concentratecatalog

    Catalog value for the whole CPH series: up to 1000 % for a light, glaze-like tone

    Catalog does not say by weight or volume — for a water system the difference is small.

    % by weight: 0–200 % of concentrateofficial% by volume: 0–200 % of concentrateofficial

    Binder (official site: 0–200 %)

    The binder locks the pigment, reduces grain raise and colour rub-off during sanding or the first primer coat.

  • CFH1Additive
    % by weight: 0–400 % of concentratecatalog

    2022 catalog for the CPH series: CFH1 up to 400 % (current official page says 0–200 %)

    Prefer the current official 0–200 %.

    % by weight: 15–20 %dealer

    Dealer advice: for more even application and less grain raise

    Working example (recommendation): 100 g CPH10 + 500 g water + ~100 g CFH1 ≈ 15 % of the ready mix — also within the official 0–200 %.

  • CTH / CFH1 / waterAdditive
    % by weight: 400 % CFH1 per 100 CTH, + water 1000 %schedule

    Reference only: CFH1 dosing in an official schedule with the CTH water dye concentrate; not stated for CPH10

    Stain dries 20 min at 20–25 °C in this schedule before PTS60 primer.

Spray then immediately wipe along the grain with a pad — stain stays in the pores, giving a pickled/whitewashed look on oak/ash.

Sanding
Don't sand the stain itself — sand the first primer coat (P280–P320 per dealer schedule); white pigment rubs through to bare wood on edges easily.recommended
Temperature and humidity
15–25 °C, RH 50–70 %, not below +10 °Crecommended
Don'ts
  • Do not let it freeze
  • Do not flood it on — pores go chalky and blotchy
  • Do not overcoat before fully dry (4 h at 20 °C)
  • Do not reduce with solvents — water only

Safety: Water-based. Wear gloves and a spray mask/respirator for aerosols; do not pour down the drain. (No SDS found.)
