Features of CERARICA coating

・Wax made from 100% edible plant ingredients

All ingredients are refined and derived from plants, and we only use ingredients that are so safe that they are also used in food and high-end cosmetics. No surfactants or solvents are used

This is a natural paint wax that is the ultimate in safety, and it was only possible for us to develop it, as we have been specializing in the production of " CERARICA = Life Wax" since our founding in 1832

 

・The first natural paint to receive F☆☆☆☆ certification

Regarding formaldehyde, which causes sick building syndrome, our wax has been certified F☆☆☆☆ (the lowest formaldehyde emission rating) by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. This is one of the few waxes in the world to achieve this rating. It can be used safely by those who are sensitive to chemicals. Furthermore, when applied to furniture or floors that emit formaldehyde, it reduces emissions by one-quarter

 1. No volatile substances are used (solvent-free, fragrance-free)

 2. Completely free of chemically synthesized raw materials

 3. No heavy metals

Q&A

We are here to answer your frequently asked questions

Q: How should I store it?

Close the cap tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, below 30°C.
Since it is made from 100% food-grade plant ingredients, we recommend refrigerating it during the summer months.

Q: Can it be used outdoors?

Although intended for indoor use, it can also be used outdoors.
Since it is affected by environmental conditions, we recommend applying multiple coats to maintain its effectiveness.

Q: How many times should I apply it?

One coat is usually sufficient. However, applying two or three coats will further enhance the effect.
When applying multiple coats, allow one day for drying before applying the next coat.

Q: Can it be used on plywood or painted surfaces?

Yes, it's possible. For painted surfaces, use a smaller amount than you would for unpainted surfaces and
spread it evenly. For urethane-coated surfaces, about 1/4 the amount used for solid wood is usually sufficient.

CERARICA Coating Pure ~Testimonials from professional customers who actually use it~

These are comments from customers, including construction companies and building professionals, who are actually using CERARICA coating

Mr. Hiroyuki Aoki

Chairman of the National Wooden Construction Association, Representative Director of Aoki Komuten, First-class architect

< CERARICA Coating Pure is an unparalleled paint that is healthy, easy to work with, and functional.>

As a member of a government council that is responsible for formulating laws regarding sick house syndrome, and as a chemicals expert, I cannot use solvent-based paints from a health perspective

While any natural paint would be fine, oil-based paints tend to dry slowly, making construction time longer. That's when I came across CERARICA Coating Pure. It's the first natural paint to receive Ministerial Certification F☆☆☆☆, and its workability and functionality set it apart from other natural paints

 

Mr. Yasuo Kobayashi

Chairman of the SHS Friendship Association, Takumi no Kai, and CEO of Kobayashi Housing Industry, Master Carpenter

< CERARICA Coating Pure is essential for building a home where people can live healthily and safely, and a home that will last for 100 years.>

People who build houses using only natural materials are said to be particular, but that's actually strange. A house built with natural materials is exactly what it should be. Nowadays, it's commonplace to build houses using mainly chemical substances, with little use of wood. In this environment, our theme is "Building a long-lasting house that will last 100 years, a healthy house made from 100% natural materials." When we were introduced to CERARICA Coating Pure, which is made from 100% food-grade plant ingredients, we thought, "This is it!!" CERARICA Coating Pure is essential for building a home where you can live healthy and safely

 

Mr. Ikichika Tokita

< CERARICA Coating Pure is a paint that will impress your customers>

The great thing about CERARICA Coating Pure is that it brings out the natural beauty of the wood, creating a subdued, amber-colored finish. Oil creates a shiny finish that can't be achieved with oil. The ability to vary the intensity of the wood grain by changing the application method is also appealing to professionals. But above all, the greatest attraction is the way it impresses customers. When we show clients the process of application, they are all amazed at the beautiful change in the color of the wood

 

Application method

Prepare and clean the surface to be coated

Solid material: Sand the surface to be painted to remove any dirt, unevenness, old paint, wax, etc., and then wipe it clean with a cloth

Urethane material: Thoroughly clean the surface to be applied

*Simple oil stains can be removed when applying the product. Also, if you have already applied a natural wax oil finish from another company, you can simply apply it over the surface

Apply

For solid wood materials: Spread a thin layer along the grain of the wood using a cloth, sponge, or rubber brush

Urethane coating material: The trick is to spread it thinly like car wax. Scratches and other marks will be less noticeable before and after application, and the effect will be clear, so we recommend applying it to the entire surface

Other... It is also ideal for caring for antique furniture and old folk tools. The plant's protective ingredients will revive old wooden products. If you are using it on something important or are concerned about color changes, we recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area first

Wipe off excess wax

Wipe off with a dry cloth or mop, then let it dry for about a day

If you wipe it dry thoroughly, letting it dry for half a day will be sufficient

Precautions after application

In the case of solid wood, it takes about a month for the protective layer to fully form inside, but it will create a wonderful, durable, and water-resistant natural protective film. During this time, please avoid placing hot objects on it, such as hot teacups

After application, maintenance is recommended once every six months for both solid wood and urethane materials
