Frequently Asked Questions about this product
Which brush do I need?
Choosing the right brush is important for the best finish. The right brush ensures the lacquer is applied optimally and evenly. It also guarantees optimal absorption and release of the paint. We believe the VP Gold Mix Fibre brush is the right choice for the best result. This brush is made from a combination of traditional pig bristles and a selection of synthetic fibres, ensuring optimal absorption and release of the paint.
Which paint roller do I need?
You don’t want to be picking lint out of your freshly painted surface, so it’s essential to use the right paint roller to create a smooth and even finish. Absorption and release are key. For this paint, we recommend the Copenhagen Pro Lacquer Roller or the Anza Felt Roller. These rollers have the right properties for a seamless and flawless finish.
When to use?
Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin is suitable for protecting all exterior woodwork, such as doors and window frames. Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. This product is a primer and lacquer in one, so you don’t need to look for another tin.
Sigma Amarol Triol Satin
Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin is moisture-regulating, which is essential for objects where moisture quickly penetrates the wood. Think of softer wood types, garden sheds, and verandas. These areas remain damp, but Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin handles moisture well, transporting it outwards in summer and allowing the wood to absorb moisture in winter. If you were to use a regular lacquer, it would eventually peel because the wood needs to breathe.
What does moisture-regulating mean?
Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin allows the wood to breathe. By letting the wood breathe, moisture can always escape, which ensures that softer wood types remain better protected for longer. Think of garden sheds and verandas.
Prevent peeling
Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin is a moisture-regulating product, also known as a one-pot system or stain paint. Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin penetrates deeper into the wood, allowing it to breathe. A regular lacquer protects the wood with a layer, but if moisture tries to escape from the wood, it cannot, and the lacquer will eventually peel. Always carefully consider which paint you need for your project. Softer wood types are generally better treated with a product like Sikkens Rubbol EPS, while harder wood types are best finished with a professional lacquer.
Advantages of alkyd lacquer
For exterior work, alkyd lacquer is the ideal product. This lacquer is more resistant to weather conditions, giving it a longer lifespan compared to water-based products. Normally, alkyd lacquer yellows when used indoors. If you want to use alkyd paint indoors, make sure it contains an “anti-yellowing property” to prevent yellowing during indoor use.
What is the Coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sigma lacquers is 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, our experience is slightly different, as most painters achieve a coverage of 10 to 12 m² per litre with Sigma lacquer. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little.
In Which Colours Can We Mix?
We can mix any possible colour with our mixing system. To mix your desired colour, you can simply select the colour in our colour picker or contact us. For mixing Sigma paints and lacquers, we exclusively use the official Sikkens mixing machine, including the corresponding mixing pigments.

Which Gloss Level Do You Recommend?
For exterior lacquer, high gloss is the most suitable. High gloss lacquer has a longer lifespan. The surface is smooth, which means less dirt adheres to the lacquer. Additionally, it is easier to clean. Gloss is always indicated with a number.
A high gloss lacquer should have a gloss level of 60 to 90. Satin gloss has a gloss level of 30 to 60, and matte paint should remain below 30. These values are measured by the manufacturer. In some cases, we recommend a satin gloss lacquer. This is advised when the surface is not 100% perfect. Inexperienced DIYers also choose satin gloss lacquer because it is easier to hide small imperfections in the surface.
High gloss (60-90): Ideal for exterior work
Satin gloss (30-60): Ideal for surfaces with imperfections
Matte paint (less than 30): Ideal for interior work
Which Primer Do I Need?
This Sigma S2U Amarol Triol Satin is a primer and topcoat in one, so you don’t need a separate primer. Undercoat and primer are essentially the same and serve the same purpose: ensuring good adhesion for the final product. Additionally, it is cost-effective for absorbent surfaces. A primer makes surfaces less absorbent, allowing more square metres to be covered per litre of paint. This will ultimately result in the best finish and save costs.
Are There Alternatives?
VP Platina System Paint: This is also a one-pot system from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you. This product is also solvent-based, just like the Sikkens Rubbol EPS.
