Description
Loba Amberizer is an additive built specifically to round off colouring and enhance depth on dark wood floors, mixed into LOBA’s own water-based primers and finishes rather than sold as a standalone colour product. Being waterborne and solvent-free means it integrates directly into the existing finish system without introducing a separate application step or curing chemistry to manage.
Its real value is the variable intensity control: the same 100g container can be used across a primer coat only, for a subtle effect, through to primer plus both main coats for a strong, deliberate amber tone. That flexibility lets one product cover a range of colour outcomes depending on how many application layers it’s added to, rather than needing several different pre-tinted finish products.
Amberizer works as a genuine colour-development tool rather than a stain, letting the installer dial in a light, medium or strong ambering effect to suit the specific timber species and the client’s desired tone, with the option of multiple layers for greater control over the final depth of colour. It’s especially suited to dark wood species, where the ambering effect complements and deepens the timber’s existing tone rather than fighting against it, and it combines with LOBA’s other waterborne primers and finishes as part of a complete system.

Where to Use
- Old parquet refurbishment or new wooden flooring
- Dark timber species specifically, for warm amber depth
- Combined with water-borne LOBA primers and finishes
How to Apply
- Shake well — shake Amberizer and the primer or finish thoroughly before mixing.
- Add immediately before use — mix in a maximum of one 100g container per 5L/kg, only just before application.
- Mix thoroughly — shake or stir, using a LOBA paint mixer mechanically if available.
- Apply per the intensity level required — in the primer coat, first coat, and/or second coat depending on the desired ambering strength.
- Process within the time limit — use the mixed batch within 24 hours (or the specified time for 2-component systems).
Important Notes
- Especially recommended for dark wood species rather than light timber.
- Consult LOBA’s detailed technical information and set-up recommendations before a large or unfamiliar job.
- For professional use only.
