Product Description
Loba Amberizer is a professional-grade color additive designed to introduce a warm, traditional amber tone to modern waterborne floor finishes. It allows contractors to recreate the classic look of oil-based polyurethane while maintaining the fast dry times, clarity, and performance of water-based systems.
Perfect for restoring older homes or warming up species like red oak, maple, and birch, Amberizer adds depth and richness without muddying grain or causing excessive yellowing over time. The tone is controlled, repeatable, and compatible with Loba waterborne sealers and finishes.
This is the go-to solution when clients want “that old floor look” but you want the reliability and forgiveness of waterborne coatings.

Dustin’s Notes
If you miss the look of oil but don’t miss the callbacks, this is the fix. Amberizer lets you dial warmth back into water-based systems without sacrificing dry time or clarity. I especially like it on red oak where clients want that familiar honey tone but still want a modern finish system.
