Features of CERARICA coating

All ingredients are purified and derived from plants, and we only use ingredients that are safe enough to be used in food and high-end cosmetics. No surfactants or solvents are used.
This is a natural paint wax that has been developed with the ultimate in safety because we have specialized in producing `` CERARICA = Life Wax'' since our founding in 1832.
・First F☆☆☆☆ awarded as a natural paint
Regarding formaldehyde, which causes sick building syndrome, we have been certified by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as F☆☆☆☆ (the lowest level of formaldehyde emission). This is one of the few waxes in the world. It can be used with confidence even by people who are sensitive to chemicals. Furthermore, when applied to furniture and floors that emit formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde emitted can be reduced to 1/4.
・3 non-uses
1. No volatile substances (no solvents, no fragrances)
2. Completely free of chemically synthesized raw materials
3. No heavy metals
・Excellent compatibility with wood
The bioprotective ingredients of plants penetrate deeply and remove dirt [cleaning power],
Because it repels water well, it is [water repellent] and can also be used for cleaning.
In addition, the ingredients deeply blend into the wood [penetration], allowing the original natural color of the wood to stand out.
It also has the effect of preventing discoloration due to sunlight.

Q&A
We will answer your frequently asked questions.
Q: How should I store it?
Close the cap properly, avoid direct sunlight, and store below 30℃.
Since it is made of 100% food-grade plant ingredients, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator during the summer.
Q : Can it be used outdoors?
Although it is intended for indoor use, it can also be used outdoors.
Since it is affected by the environment, we recommend multiple coats to maintain the effect.
Q: How many times should I apply it?
One coat is enough.
However, if you apply it two or three times, the effect will be even better. When applying multiple coats, leave it for a day and let it dry before applying.
Q: Can it be used on plywood or painted items?
Is possible.
Spread a smaller amount on painted items than on unpainted items. In the case of urethane-coated materials, it is possible to spread the coating with approximately 1/4 the amount of solid wood.

CERARICA Coating Pure ~Voices from professional customers who are actually using it~
These are comments from customers such as construction companies and construction personnel who are actually using CERARICA coating.

< CERARICA Coating Pure is a paint that is good for health, workability, and functionality that is incomparable to any other>
As a member of a government council, I am in a position to enact laws regarding sick house syndrome. Also, as a chemical specialist, I cannot use solvent-based paints for health reasons.
Any natural paint would be fine, but oil-based paints dry slowly and take longer to complete. That's when I came across CERARICA Coating Pure. It is the first natural paint to receive ministerial certification F☆☆☆☆, and it is a paint that combines workability and functionality, setting it apart from other natural paints.

< CERARICA Coating Pure is indispensable for building a house that is healthy and safe to live in, and that will last for 100 years.>
It is said that people who build houses using only natural materials are particular about it, but this is actually strange. A house built with natural materials is what it should be. Nowadays, it has become commonplace to build houses based on chemical substances and almost no wood. Under such circumstances, our theme is ``Building a long-lasting house that will last 100 years and a healthy house made of 100% natural materials.'' When I was introduced to CERARICA Coating Pure, which is made from 100% food-grade plant ingredients, I thought, "This is it!" CERARICA Coating Pure is essential for building a home that is healthy and safe to live in.

< CERARICA Coating Pure is the paint that impresses customers>
The good thing about CERARICA Coating Pure is that it takes advantage of the pure nature of the product and produces a smooth, amber finish. Oil will make it shine and won't give you this finish. The ability to add strength or weakness to the wood grain depending on how you apply it also tickles your professionalism. But above all, the most appealing thing is that we can impress our customers. When we show the client the painting process, everyone is amazed at the wonderful change in the color of the wood.
Application method
Prepare and clean the surface to be applied
Solid material: Thoroughly polish dirt, unevenness, old paint, wax, etc. on the surface to be applied with sandpaper, 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, even if you already have a natural wax oil finish from another company, you can simply apply a top coat.
apply
For solid materials: Spread a thin layer along the grain of the wood using a cloth, sponge, rubber brush, etc.
Urethane coating material...The trick is to spread it thinly like car wax. We recommend that you apply the product to the entire surface, as scratches will become less noticeable before and after application, and the effect will be more visible.
Others: Ideal for cleaning antique furniture and old folk furniture. Protective ingredients from plants 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.
wipe off excess wax
Wipe it off with a dry cloth or mop. Then, let it dry for about a day.
If you wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth, it is enough to dry it for half a day.
Precautions after application
In the case of solid wood, it takes about a month for the protective layer to completely form inside, but the result is a wonderful natural protective film that is highly durable and water resistant. During this time, avoid placing hot items such as hot tea cups on it.
The recommended care for both solid wood and urethane materials after application is once every six months.
