Luxury and Durability for Your Interior Furniture: Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior
Your furniture defines your home’s style. Whether it’s a designer dining table, a custom wardrobe, or sleek kitchen cabinets, it deserves a finish that looks stunning and lasts a lifetime. Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior is a premium, two-component polyurethane (PU) coating designed specifically for interior wood surfaces.
It goes beyond standard polish to provide a tough, protective shield that resists the daily abuse of scratches, spills, and heat, all while maintaining a rich, luxurious appearance.
Unlike traditional Melamine or French Polish, which can yellow or crack over time, Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior forms a flexible yet hard film. This means it moves with the wood to prevent cracking (crack resistance) while offering a surface hardness that protects against keys, utensils, and cleaning agents.
Why Choose Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior for Furniture?
Interior wood faces different challenges than exterior wood. It needs to survive hot coffee cups, food spills, and constant handling. Here is why this PU wood finish is the superior choice:
- Unmatched Scratch & Stain Resistance: This is the best scratch resistant wood polish for tabletops and desks. Its dense cross-linked film prevents stains from turmeric, coffee, and ink from penetrating the wood, making it easy to clean.
- Resists Cracking: Wooden furniture expands and contracts with AC and humidity. Standard hard coatings (like Melamine) snap and crack. PU Palette is flexible; it stretches with the wood, keeping the finish intact even on curved surfaces.
- Crystal Clear Clarity: It has excellent transparency (in clear coats) that highlights the natural grain of the wood without the “plastic” look of cheaper varnishes.
Key Features of Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior
- Premium 2K PU System: A professional resin-hardener system for maximum durability.
- Flexible Film: Prevents cracking on joints and curved edges.
- Superior Aesthetics: Available in a huge range of Wood Stains (Palette) and opaque shades to match any decor theme.
- Heat Resistance: Withstands heat better than standard varnishes (great for dining tables).
- Variety of Finishes:
- High Gloss: For a mirror-like, modern reflective look.
- Satin: A soft, silky sheen that looks elegant and hides fingerprints.
- Matt: A natural, non-reflective finish that looks like raw, oiled wood.
- Low Odour: Formulated to have a lower odour than traditional PU systems, making it better for indoor application.
Recommended Application Areas
This interior wood paint is the gold standard for:
- Wardrobes & Closets: Keeps them looking new despite daily opening and closing.
- Kitchen Cabinets: The best paint for kitchen cabinets due to its resistance to oil, steam, and cleaning chemicals.
- Dining Tables: Resists heat rings and food stains.
- Internal Doors: Provides a smooth, touchable finish that feels premium.
- Office Furniture: Durable enough for desks and conference tables.

How to Apply Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior
For a furniture-grade finish, preparation is key. Follow these steps:
- Surface Preparation: Sand the wood with 180-grit sandpaper. Remove all dust, oil, and grease. If refinishing, strip old polish completely to bare wood.
- Staining (Optional): Apply Asian Paints WoodTech Wood Stain to achieve your desired colour tone. Allow to dry.
- Sealing/Base Coat: Apply Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Base Coat (Interior). This fills the grain and seals the wood. Apply 1-2 coats and sand perfectly smooth with 320 or 400-grit paper.
- Topcoat Mixing: Mix the PU Palette Interior Base and Hardener in the ratio specified on the can. Add 10-20% PU Thinner for spraying consistency. Let it mature for 30 minutes.
- Application: Apply the first coat using a spray gun. Allow to dry for 4-5 hours. Lightly sand with 600-grit paper to remove dust nibs.
- Final Coat: Apply the second coat. For a “grand piano” finish, a third coat may be applied. Allow to cure for 7 days for full hardness.
Troubleshooting Common Interior PU Issues
- Dust Nibs: Small bumps on the surface are caused by dust settling on wet paint. Solution: Ensure the room is clean and dust-free. Sand between coats.
- Cloudiness: If the clear coat looks milky, it might be due to moisture. Solution: Avoid applying on rainy days or ensure wood moisture is below 12%.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I apply this over an old polish directly?
A: No. Asian Paints WoodTech PU Palette Interior requires bare wood or a properly prepared PU Base Coat for adhesion. You must sand off old varnish or polish.
Q: Is this product heat resistant for dining tables?
A: Yes, once fully cured (after 7 days), it resists heat from hot coffee mugs and plates better than standard melamine.
Q: Can I use this for my main entry door?
A: No. For the main door (exterior), use WoodTech PU Palette Exterior which has UV guards to prevent sun damage.
