Loba Amberizer – Warm Amber Additive for Waterborne Finishes
This is what we reach for when clients want oil warmth without oil problems.
Loba Amberizer is a professional-grade color additive that introduces a controlled, traditional amber tone into modern waterborne floor finishes. It allows contractors to recreate the familiar warmth of oil-based polyurethane while keeping the fast dry times, low odor, and reliability of waterborne systems.
Amberizer adds depth and richness without muddying grain or pushing floors into excessive yellowing over time. The result is a warm, classic look that remains clean, predictable, and repeatable from job to job. It is especially effective on red oak, maple, birch, and mixed-species floors where clients want character without committing to oil.
This is the go-to solution for historic homes, renovations, and any project where the visual goal is classic warmth but the performance goal is modern waterborne durability.

Dustin’s Notes
If you miss the look of oil but not the callbacks, this is the fix. Amberizer lets you dial warmth back into water-based systems without sacrificing dry time or clarity. It’s especially solid on red oak when clients want that familiar honey tone with a modern finish.
