CPH9
CPH9 water-based pigmented wood stain, black (concentrate)
Water-reducible pigmented wood stain in black, supplied as a concentrate. Evens out colour variation, hides wood defects, levels well and is lightfast. Used for black / ebonised finishes on oak, ash, birch and veneered MDF, wenge-style tones, and to darken or dirty-down other CPH stains.
- Staining furniture in any timber species
- Black / ebonised finishes under clear lacquer (open-pore oak/ash)
- Darkening and toning down other CPH stains by intermixing
- Tinting exterior coatings (catalog, CPH series)

Mixing matrix
- waterThinner% 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.
- CFH1Additive% 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: 15–20 % (dealer: «связующее CFH1 (15-20%)»; weight/volume and basis not stated)dealer
Dealer advice: for more even application and less grain raise
Working example (recommendation): 100 g CPH9 + 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 CPH9
Stain dries 20 min at 20–25 °C in this schedule (beech-veneer worktops, PU) before PTS60 primer. The other schedule (beech chairs, PU) uses CTH 100 : CFH2 800 : water 1200, 30 min dry.

Stir before and during use — pigment settles. Strain through 125–190 µm. 15–20 cm distance, 50 % overlap, even wet coat without puddles; go lighter on end grain. (Recommendation.)

Spray then immediately wipe along the grain with a pad — stain stays in the pores, giving black pores on oak/ash with lighter flat grain.

Flat parts on a roller line only.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation · Sanding
- P150, P180 (hand sanding)dealer
- Substrate preparation · Grain raise
- Pre-wet with water, dry, light sand to remove raised fibres before water stainsofficial
- Goes over
- bare sanded wood
- Goes under
- HTL20 SM
- Sanding
- Don't sand the stain itself — sand the first primer coat (P280–P320 per dealer schedule); black pigment rubs through to pale wood on edges easily and shows immediately.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 — blotches, runs and tide marks
- 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.)
