DecoWood Chemical Resistance Testing

DECO's finishes have a high level of resistance to a range of chemicals. These are tabled below, along with the ambient temperature, time exposed to the chemical and the result.

Chemical	Temp	Time	Result

Unleaded Petrol	25°C	60’	Unaffected
Gasoline	25°C	60’	Unaffected
Ethanol	25°C	5’	Unaffected
1:1 Acetone and Ethyl Acetate	25°C	5’	Unaffected
Mobil Brake Fluid	25°C	5’	Unaffected
Metylketone: 10 strokes	25°C		Unaffected
Acetone: 10 strokes	25°C		Unaffected
HCI 0,1 N	60°C	4 hours	Unaffected
NaOH 0,1 N	60°C	4 Hours	Unaffected

DECO's smooth polyurethane finishes also have high graffiti resistance, making them suitable for public projects where this is an issue. The finish was subjected to marker pen and spray paint ink and left for 48 hours. After this time, the ink was completely wiped off with a 1:1 mixture of Metiletichton and Methylated spirits (Xylene, a 1:1 mixture Acetone/Ethyl Acetate and Acetone/Ethanol can also be used) with no effect to the wood grain pattern.
