CPH3
CPH3 Waterborne pigment stain, red (concentrate)
Waterborne pigment stain, red, supplied as a concentrate. Good hiding, evens out colour variation in the wood and masks defects, lightfast. Must be cut with water (400–600 %) before use. Add CFH1 binder for a more even lay-down and less grain raising. Slow drying and sensitive to low temperatures. All CPH stains intermix in any ratio; the red base is used to shift ready-made shades and to tint exterior coatings.
- Staining furniture in any wood species
- Evening out colour variation and hiding wood defects
- Shade matching mixed with other CPH stains
- Tinting exterior coatings
- Spray, spray-and-wipe, roller coater (2025 catalog)

Stir thoroughly before and during use — the pigment settles. 15–20 cm distance, 50 % overlap, steady pass speed to avoid stripes.

Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Sand P150–P220 (edges with K60–K80/K120 sanding sponges), de-dust. To limit grain raising, pre-wet with water, dry, denib P220–P240 before staining, or add CFH1.recommended
- Sanding
- Never sand the stain itself — the pigment cuts through to light spots. Sand only after the first sealer coat (P240–P320).recommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 18–25 °Crecommended

Safety: Waterborne material. Gloves and ventilation; use a mist respirator when spraying. No SDS found.
