UV Coatings for Wood

Fast-curing UV coatings for a porous substrate that has always been hard to finish cleanly.

Overview

Better finishes on a porous substrate

Wood is a very porous material. Used in structures or products it needs a coating to stop it degrading, and conventional coatings have historically released solvent to achieve that. A UV-cured coating hardens under the lamp instead, which removes the solvent and the drying time together.

Three routes are available. A 100 % solids UV coating works directly on wood and cures instantly. A solvent-based UV system gives more resistance and better adhesion with good coverage at minimal thickness and fast cure. A water-based UV system is the lowest-emission option, dries fast, coats large objects easily and gives good coverage with light stability.
