Watch this video to see how we test whether the product holds up to the claims of being the most innovative stain and sealer on the market.
Low VOC and Minimal Odor
One of the most notable advantages of PALL-X 2K-KOLORIT Color Stain System is its low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and minimal odor. According to technical director, Daniel, this stain has “little to no smell,” making it a much safer and more comfortable option for both the one applying it and the surrounding environment. This is particularly important in projects where indoor air quality is a concern, such as in residential or commercial settings.
Guaranteed Dry Time and Compatibility with Water-Based Finishes
Another key feature of this stain system is its impressive dry time. Pallmann has guaranteed a 5-hour dry time for all colors, except for white, which has a 12-hour dry time. This significantly reduces the waiting period between staining and the application of the final finish coat, ultimately saving valuable time and streamlining the overall finishing process. Furthermore, the stain’s compatibility with water-based finishes means that professionals can move straight to applying the final coats of polyurethane, eliminating the need for a separate sealer coat and further reducing the time and effort required to complete the project.
Ease of Application and Repairability
As a result of testing the product, Daniel says, PALL-X 2K-KOLORIT Color Stain System is “a lot easier to apply than traditional stains.” Additionally, this product can be applied in a variety of ways, including rag-on, rag-off, pad-on, rag-off, and even rolling and buffing, allowing the applicator to choose the method that best suits their preferences and the specific project requirements.
When it comes to repairability, our tester noted that while the process is “a little bit harder to repair than some of the other stains that reactivate themselves, it is still no more difficult than repairing standard oil-based stains.” By using a combination of light sanding, feathering, and the applying additional stain, he was able to successfully address any intentional errors or imperfections in the test panel, demonstrating the product’s versatility and the ability to achieve a seamless, professional-looking finish.
A Comprehensive Staining Solution
Pallmann’s PALL-X 2K-KOLORIT Color Stain System stacks up to be a comprehensive staining solution that addresses many of the common challenges faced by wood finishing professionals. Its low VOC content, minimal odor, guaranteed dry time, and compatibility with water-based finishes make it an attractive option for those seeking a safer, more efficient, and more versatile staining product.
While the repair process may require a bit more artistry and attention to detail than some other stains, our tester’s experience suggests that with a little practice, professionals can easily master the techniques necessary to achieve flawless results.
