Wood Looks Bright With Wood Bleaching Application
Natural colors are generally obtained by applying wood paints such as varnish, varnish, melamine, or others. However, there is also a color display that needs to go through several quite complicated processes, including the wood bleaching process. This process aims to make the color of the wood appear brighter so that various colors can be applied or even maintain the appearance of the bright color.
Especially for furniture, wood is generally sorted based on the quality and appearance of the beautiful fiber. One of the woods that is currently still the prima donna for furniture raw materials is teak. Even getting a brilliant display does not take long. In general, they only apply natural paints such as clear coats or some kind of varnish or varnish because the basic appearance of the wood is already bright and the wood grain is beautiful. However, not all types of wood such as teak are ready to be processed just like that, but there are also some woods that have to go through quite complicated stages because they have shortcomings ranging from fiber to color appearance.
Unfortunately, many bleaching for wood on the market contain ingredients that are quite harmful and do not even produce the bright color you want. As a result, the color of the wood displayed becomes paler and unattractive, even bleaching the wood can be bad for health and the environment.
However, CV. Alas Gembol carries out the bleaching process carefully and thoroughly so that it produces beautiful colors and is also safe for health and the environment.
