Decorative Coating Systems
Wood-Look Coating Systems
Water-based decorative coating systems for creating a wood-look or wood-grain finish on products manufactured in Vietnam.
A wood-look finish is specified as a coating system, not as a single decorative layer. Lotus evaluates the substrate, surface condition, finish target, application process, and factory conditions before recommending a system structure.
Substrate suitability, system structure, and application requirements are confirmed for each project before specification or production use.
01 / 04Suitable Substrates
A wood-look finish starts with the actual substrate
Lotus wood-look systems can be considered for the substrate categories below. Final suitability depends on material condition, preparation, intended use, and the confirmed coating system.
Cement-based substrates
Concrete products
Decorative concrete
Other substrates subject to technical evaluation
02 / 04System Approach
The finish is developed as a coordinated coating system
The appearance target is translated into a system direction covering the substrate, base layer, decorative finish, and final process requirements.
Substrate and surface evaluation
Confirm the material, existing coating, surface condition, preparation requirements, and intended use.
Base system definition
Define the preparation and base layer required for the substrate and the color foundation for the wood-look finish.
Wood-grain finish development
Develop the decorative finish against the required appearance and the factory's application method.
Finishing process confirmation
Confirm the finishing layer and application sequence according to production conditions and required use.
03 / 04Application Considerations
Application method and production conditions are part of the specification
The wood-grain appearance, base color, layer sequence, and finishing process should be evaluated together with the factory's actual application setup.
Substrate condition and surface preparation
Required wood-grain appearance and reference sample
Application method and factory equipment
Drying and handling conditions
Documentation required by the buyer or destination market
Finish objectives
Wood-grain appearance · Wood-look color and pattern alignment · Decorative finish aligned with the approved sample
04 / 04Specification & Factory Trial
From appearance target to factory production
A controlled workflow helps buyers, product teams, and Vietnam factories align the finish, application method, and deployment scope before production.
Specification
Translate the product, substrate, and finish requirement into a proposed coating-system direction.
Sample development
Prepare and review sample panels or product samples before wider application.
Factory trial
Evaluate application under the factory's actual equipment, process, and production conditions.
Production deployment
Support implementation within the agreed scope after the sample and process are approved.
Technical Documentation
Documentation is tied to the confirmed system and scope
Technical documentation is exchanged for the confirmed coating system and application scope. System-specific data requires technical confirmation before publication.
