Today’s Architecture needs Quality for tomorrow. 

Protec, your reliable partner for dimensionally stable 

wooden building components in top form. 

Whether it’s new construction or the renovation 

of old buildings - the architecture of today bears 

great responsibility in terms of energy-efficient 

construction and living for tomorrow. Wooden 

windows and doors are becoming more and more 

of a focal point for ensuring sustainable values. 

A demand for which Zobel coatings and glazes, 

with their high level of protection and sustainable 

environmental qualities on a water basis, seem 

to have been created. 

A successful example is our internationally successful 

Protec products that reliably provide for 

the necessary protection of the natural product 

wood against UV and moisture exposure. 

Wood is the epitome when it comes to atmospheric 

living. To maintain the qualities of this natural 

material for the long term, active breathable coating 

systems such as Protec are necessary. These provide 

natural moisture regulation and maintain the 

natural wood structure. Through their high transparency, 

Protec products emphasize the natural 

appearance of the substrate. And for those to 

whom nature is a bit too natural, with our comprehensive 

palette of coatings and glazes creativity 

knows no limits when it comes to bringing even 

more color into play.

Modern Architecture 

Thinking about tomorrow 

today 

Wood is the oldest Building Material known to Man. 

And to maintain what is beautiful has always 

been in the nature of man. A thought with a green 

background. 

>> 

A perfect fit … 

Modern thinking includes the factors 

of nature and nature-conscious behavior 

as a matter of course. A good example 

is our water-based and thus low-solvent 

Protec products that create an ideal 

finish for natural wood. It is still the 

oldest building product of mankind, 

which creates space for atmosphere 

like no other material. Modern architecture 

is aware of this and understands 

how to combine this material so important 

to comfortable living with such 

relatively modern components as 

concrete, steel and stone. The result 

is living environment that reflect a 

fascinating combination of traditional 

materials and modern manufacturing 

technology. 

Another reason for this trend are product systems such as Protec that use coatings and glazes to 

sustainably support the durability of wooden windows and doors. With the combination of wood 

and aluminum, today’s architects and builders can use a material combination of unbeatable quality 

for window and door construction. Particularly suited for this are Protec Dimension [Z] Premium 

top coats, thanks to their easy-care natural properties. 

Protec sustainability means 

long-lasting enjoyment of architectural 

solutions. 

>> Sustainable construction … 

Zobel products such as Protec are »green«. This 

begins with the theme of eco-efficiency in the 

form of fuel economy values. This is possible 

because of the good flow properties of Protec, 

guaranteeing outstanding results even at low film 

thickness. Beyond this, our self-cross-linking 

Dimension [Z] products stand out through their 

high durability and long life. 

Because of the fact that we largely avoid the use 

of hazardous raw materials, our Protec products 

effortlessly comply with the requirements of the 

Decopaint Directive 2004/42/EG. Recent measurements 

of the ift Rosenheim (Institute for Window 

Technology) have demonstrated that our coatings 

are already designed today to meet future requirements 

for indoor air quality. Sustainable thinking, 

confirmed by our TÜV-certified environmental management 

system according to DIN EN ISO 14001.

Let's get right to the Point: 

Beauty awakens enthusiasm. But quality and economic 

efficiency awaken sustainable enthusiasm. 

With Protec by Zobel, you can guarantee both. 

Qualities 

Durability as a promise … 

The durability of wooden windows and doors put 

to the test – with the Zobel long-term warranty 

(ZLG), no problem. The worldwide tried-and-true 

long-term stability of Protec products is a household 

word. They provide optimal regulation of 

the wood-moisture balance and long-term elasticity 

of coating even under a wide range of temperature 

conditions. Due to the high mechanical strength 

of the coating, your wooden building components 

are optimally protected even during such extreme 

weather conditions as hail. 

Resistance as a criterion … 

Tested knowledge is certain knowledge. Our 

independent test institute-confirmed weather 

stability according to EN 927-3 natural weathering 

and water permeability, tailored to dimensionally 

stable building components as per EN 927-5, 

demonstrate this convincingly. 

Quality assurance … 

Product safety does not come from just anywhere. 

This is attested by our high-quality paint raw 

materials tested in the context of the TÜV-certified 

DIN EN ISO 9001 quality management system at 

the highest development level and systemically 

evaluated procedures along with continuous batch 

tracking of raw materials and products. 

Health in focus … 

Protec is particularly suitable for use in such healthsensitive 

areas as schools, kindergartens, hotels 

and hospitals. Because the certainty of staying 

below heavy metal threshold values as per EN 

71-3 (safety of toys) and assuring resistance to 

detergents and disinfectants as per VdL Directive 

12 demonstrates responsible thinking. 

Individuality 

Spoilt for choice … 

With our glazing colors in the series Color-Line 

Nature, Color-Line Classic and Color-Line Trend 

as well as our opaque colors in the context of 

RAL, NCS and special colors, one thing is certain 

– we have your color. 

Color enjoyment for tomorrow, today … 

Continued enjoyment of the color of your choice 

– our UV-stable pigments and the protection of 

our final coating with high-end UV-protection 

additives make it possible. 

An economical blaze of color … 

With our Zobel color mixing system based on 

base coats and color pastes, you kill two birds 

with one stone – high color availability at a low 

capital commitment. 

Visible premium quality … 

Through the high transparency and color brilliance 

of our Protec Dimension [Z] top coats you achieve 

a surface finish of furniture quality. This allows 

you to emphasize the natural character of your 

wood surfaces and structures. 

Economy 

Tailor-made solutions … 

Whether it’s the flood method for industrial users, 

or the dip and spray process for professional 

users - with Protec you always have the right 

solution. 

Innovation pays … 

After all, time is indeed money - because through 

the early blocking resistance of our Protec products 

and their suitability for the conventional 

drying tunnel, short cycle times are guaranteed. 

And if that’s not enough: with forced drying with 

the Zobel HaloDry ® halogen drying system you 

almost achieve drying in real time. 

Simply simple … 

Quality can be that simple. Above all, if you value 

water-based and continuous single-component 

universal products for custom product solutions. 

Incidentally – the same goes for transportation 

and storage, because without the need to label 

hazardous products, things are much simpler.

weight, self-cross-linking multiphase polymer that facilitates a significant 

improvement in the paint or glaze film properties.

during hail and temperature fluctuations 

low molecular weight, extremely small binding agent molecules coat

Zobel Anti-Heat color recipes for reduced surface heating. 

Conventionally coated wood surfaces, especially dark ones, heat up in 

sunlight to values of 80 °C and more. These high temperatures can 

affect the life of the coating adversely through softening. 

Zobel Anti-Heat color recipes limit the heating in comparison to the 

outside temperature to a maximum of 30 °C and counteract the abovementioned 

effects.
