CPS036

CPS036 Solvent-borne pigment stain, Mahogany

Pigmented solvent-borne wood stain, ready colour 'mahogany' — a warm red-brown. Evens out colour variation and hides wood defects, lightfast. Comes nearly ready to spray: thin 0-100 % with S10/S12/S90. Sprayed; the catalog also lists spray-and-wipe and roller application for the CPS series. Can be blended with other solvent-borne CPS stains to tune the shade.

  • Staining furniture in any wood species
  • Imitating mahogany on pale woods — beech, birch, alder
  • Evening out colour on solid wood and veneer
  • Pore highlighting on open-grain wood (wipe-on with binder, per CPS series catalog)

    Ready colour: from neat up to 1:1. More thinner = lighter, more transparent tone. Always do a test panel on the same species.

    2025/26 catalog figure for the whole CPS series (2022 catalog and official CPS9 page: 500-2000 %); it fits the base concentrates. For the ready colour CPS036 the dealer gives 0-100 % — go by that.

  • CFS1 / CFS3 / CFS4Additive
    % by weight: 0–400 %catalog% by volume: 0–400 %official

    2022 catalog for the CPS series: binder CFS1, CFS3, CFS4 at 0-400 % (which one for which method is not stated). The official CPS9 page names only CFS1, 0-400 % by weight and volume. The binder is what makes wipe-on application (pore highlighting on open-grain wood) possible.

    The dealer's CPS036 page lists no binder — test on a sample first.

  • CFC3Additive
    % by weight: 200 %schedule

    Flat anegre-veneered panels under a UV system, 60-80 g/m² (application method not stated in the schedule; the rate matches spraying, not the 10-20 g/m² roller rate).

    The schedule names the CPS series generically. CFC3 isn't sold by the dealer; confirm with Technocolor.

  • S90Thinner
    % by weight: 200 %schedule

    Same UV schedule (anegre veneer): slow S90.

Sanding between coats

Stir thoroughly — the pigment settles. Keep shaking/stirring the cup while you work. Lay one even wet coat, no puddles; go lighter on end grain (it drinks more and goes darker). To wipe: spray, give it 1-3 min, then wipe along the grain with a sponge or lint-free rag, packing pigment into the pores (pore-highlight effect on open-grain wood — needs a CFS binder, officially CFS1).

Conventional spray

Consumption

More overspray than HVLP; open the fan wide and hold the gun 20-25 cm off.

Cloth or pad

Wiping with a sponge or soft rag removes the excess after spraying (Technocolor's method definition). For a pore-highlight effect on oak/ash you need a CFS binder (official CPS9 page: CFS1; 2022 catalog: CFS1/CFS3/CFS4).

Roller coater (UV)

Rollers — flat parts on a line only (catalog: 10-20 g/m²). The official UV anegre schedule gives 60-80 g/m² of the CPS/CFC3/S90 mix without naming the method; the stain flashes 5 min at 20-25 °C before VTS20011 UV filler.
