Sustainability Archives - Quantum Timber Finishes

Australian Made & Owned Originating in Victoria, Quantum is now part of the Australian manufacturing group Mirotone. Mirotone take pride in supplying high quality, Australian made timber finishes.

Designed for Australian Conditions Australia’s climate varies greatly throughout the different states and territories. Knowing all too well how climate variations affect timber substrates differently, Quantum products have been designed and tested to protect  timber in these conditions.

Environmental Sustainability Quantum products are environmentally responsible as they are made from renewable materials, unlike petrochemicals that will be depleted over time. Quantum is dedicated to ecologically sustainable products.

Colour Range Quantum has the largest colour range in the wood care market. With the choice of transparent stains and opaque solid colours that don’t conceal the grain of the wood, Quantum gives you the freedom to create the look you want.

Penetrating Oils Unlike surface coatings, most of Quantum’s products work by penetrating  the timber to bind the wood fibres together creating a protective barrier against moisture, preventing peeling, cracking, warping or splintering.

Low VOC Quantum has a large range of Green Star compliant low VOC products. As members of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), Quantum is proud to be part of helping to improve the environmental efficiencies in new buildings.

Proven Results Over 25 years’ experience in Australian conditions and a proven track record in quality, using Quantum Timber Finishes gives out customers peace of mind when using our products.

Water Wash Up Quantum products are made from oil based  resins emulsified in water. As water acts as the carrier “solvent”, it means that these oil based products can be cleaned up in water – no need for solvents!

Bio Based Products Formulated with vegetable derived resinated oils rather than a petrochemical base. These oils are biodegradable, non-toxic and derived from renewable resources that produce  significantly less greenhouse gases than petrochemical products.
