Description
A solution or dispersion that changes the color of a wood surface. Wood stains have transparent or semi-transparent formulas that penetrate the surface allowing the natural grain and texture to remain visible. Early stains were water-based or oil-based. Synthetic resin and latex-based stains appeared on the market after 1940. Wood stains typically fall into one of the following categories:
1. Chemical reactions: ammonia turns mahogany a rich red; caustic soda can gray or lighten woods such as pine, elm, or oak; potassium dichromate can produce a dark orange color.
2. Organic dyes: turmeric (yellow), ferrotannin (blue-black), alkanet (red), rhodamine (fluorescent red), creosote (black).
3. Pigment dispersions: iron oxide (red), burnt sienna (mahogany color), vandyke brown (walnut color)
