UV coatings and varnishes for wooden furniture and flooring

Woodworking Industry

Wooden furniture and floors are treated with varnishes and coatings to ensure the wood is preserved and sealed for years to come, and the finished product’s appearance is of high quality. Varnishes and coatings are applied layer by layer during the manufacturing process, so ensuring a quick, energy efficient and consistent coating is key.

UV-curable stains, primers, sealants and topcoats are all available and have the following benefits for wood furniture and flooring manufacturers:

Shorter Production Time

The coating takes just a few seconds to cure whereas coatings that require air or IR drying can take several days to set totally. This means in a production line the materials that have been treated can be packed or taken to the next stage of production without having to wait for the coating to dry.

Space Saving

Eliminating the need for drying times means that less space is needed, as materials can be packed, racked and stored as soon as they come off the production line.

High-Quality Finish

UV coatings give a good gloss and a very hard-wearing finish that is resistant to abrasion and scratching and is largely stain and chemical-resistant.
