 Ilva wood coatings are designed to:

  • Reduce the environmental impact and air pollution, with products like waterborne, low or zero VOC or formaldehyde-free
  • Ensure the maximum protection of wood surfaces, such as resistance to scratching, abrasion and chemicals
  • Satisfy all aesthetic requirements, such as surface smoothness, gloss, transparency, and wood grain enhancement
  • Perform specific  finishing details, such as the antique effect, waxed, pickled or natural, or special effects (e.g. metallic or marbled)
  • Achieve exclusive results such as bacteria reduction
  • Enhance and maintain colors due to light stability and  resistance to yellowing
  • Contribute to the productivity of customers, due to ease of application, fast drying, excellent verticality or adhesion
  • Protect external wood from atmospheric elements, bacteria, mold, fungi, or parasites
  • Achieve certification and\or compliance with industry quality standards

Solutions and services

Technical Assistance is  readily available  to work closely with producers, designers and architects to identify specific solutions for any  aesthetic and technical requirements.

A widespread network of Engineers constantly trained on the evolution of products and technologies, work closely with manufacturers, designers and architects to identify specific solutions to meet the aesthetic and technical needs.

They can suggest how to optimize the coating processes to achieve greater production efficiency at low environmental impact, with the utmost attention to the workers’ safety and health.

The products are designed and developed by more than 200 researchers in constant on-line contact, working with technologically advanced tools in IVM Group’s European Research and Development Laboratories for the future of wood coatings

The Application Laboratory, equipped with the most innovative and complete coating systems, checks and optimizes the performance of the formulated products.
