CPS2

CPS2 solvent-borne pigment wood stain, red-orange (base concentrate)

Solvent-borne pigment wood stain, red-orange base concentrate of the CPS range. Evens out colour variation and hides wood defects, levels well, good lightfastness. Let down 5-20x with S10/S12/S90; with CFS1 binder it can be sprayed and wiped to pick out the pores of open-grain wood. Mixes with the other CPS colours and solvent-borne stains.

  • Staining furniture in any wood species
  • Tinting other CPS colours warmer (cherry, mahogany, teak)
  • Evening out colour variation, imitating valuable species
  • Pore highlighting on oak/ash (spray + wipe with CFS1)

    1 part CPS2 to 5-20 parts thinner. More thinner = lighter, more transparent. Dose by a test board, not by viscosity.

    Solvent binder (spray grade) — for spray-and-wipe and pore highlighting; locks the pigment in.

    Without binder — straight spraying.

    2022 catalog lists binders CFS1, CFS3, CFS4 at 0-400 % without saying which is for which method (the dealer calls CFS1 'solvent binder for spraying').

    Roller-coating flat anegre-veneer panels under a UV system, 60-80 g/m².

    The schedule names 'CPS' with no colour number. CFC3 appears nowhere else (probably roller binder CFS3).

    Custom shade — the series intermixes and mixes with other solvent-borne stains.

    The catalogs only say CPS mixes with other solvent-borne stains; the codes listed are the series base colours from the 2022 catalog. Ready colours (CPS010…CPS046 in the 2022 catalog, CPS51-CPS62 at the dealer) mix too. Record recipes by weight; mix concentrates before adding thinner.

Percentages are per 100 parts of component A.

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 CFS1 binder).

Cloth or pad

Consumption
80–100 g/m²dealer

Wiping with a sponge or soft rag removes the excess after application (Technocolor's method definition). For wiping/pore highlighting on oak/ash the 2025 catalog calls for a 'special binder'; the dealer lists only CFS1 (0-400 %) for CPS2, the 2022 catalog also CFS3/CFS4.

Roller coater (UV)

Consumption
10–20 g/m²dealer

Flat parts on a roller-coater line only. In the official UV schedule the stain flashes 5 min at 20-25 °C before VTS20011 UV filler.
