Industrial coatings for wooden playground equipment

With bright, appealing colours that stand out and encourage children to play and have fun, playground equipment needs to look the part and last the distance. Tikkurila’s coating solutions for wooden playground equipment maximise the lifetime of the treated surfaces with long-lasting and dependable protection. All our products are based on over 160 years of knowledge and experience, supported by our expert after-sales care for added confidence and peace of mind.

Colourful, long-term protection for wood

Our coating solutions for wooden playground equipment come in strong, bright colours with good colour fastness and gloss stability. They also offer excellent resistance against wear and tear and good mechanical resistance against sand. Having been tested in the harsh Nordic climate, the coatings offer long-lasting durability whatever the weather, with dependable protection against moisture and extreme temperatures.

Our products are fully tested using QUV artificial testing and other weathering testing methods to ensure they perform as promised, they are also tested at our own facilities in accordance with EN 927 and Russian GOST standards.

Safe solutions for interior play

If your wooden playground equipment will only be used inside, additional factors should be considered. We offer M1 classified coatings Akvi Primer MP, Akvi Top DS 25 and Akvilavc FD 25 that meet demanding requirements for permissible emissions and odours, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and ammonia. A selection of our products also meets the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and EN 71-3: 2013 + A3: 2018 Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements.
