A UV coating (or more generally a radiation cured coating) is a surface treatment which either is cured by ultraviolet radiation, or which protects the underlying material from such radiation's harmful effects. [1] They have come to the fore because they are considered environmentally friendly and do not use solvents or produce volatile organic ...
Apart from structural wood preservation measures, there are a number of different chemical preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatment, lumber treatment or pressure treatment) that can extend the life of wood, timber, and their associated products, including engineered wood. These generally increase the durability and resistance ...
Wood finishing refers to the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface, especially in the production of furniture where typically it represents between 5 and 30% of manufacturing costs. [1][2] Finishing is the final step of the manufacturing process that gives wood surfaces desirable characteristics, including enhanced appearance and ...
Applying preservatives, such as chromated copper arsenate (CCA) or borates, can protect wood from biological and chemical degradation. [3] Coatings, such as paints, varnishes, and water repellents, provide a barrier against moisture and UV radiation. Advanced coatings containing UV stabilizers and biocides offer enhanced protection.

UV curing. UV curing (ultraviolet curing) is the process by which ultraviolet light initiates a photochemical reaction that generates a crosslinked network of polymers through radical polymerization or cationic polymerization. [1] UV curing is adaptable to printing, coating, decorating, stereolithography, and in the assembly of a variety of ...

The company manufactures and supplies products for the installation, maintenance and renovation of wooden and resilient floors and also supplies UV coatings to international producers of wooden and resilient floors.
The five common chemical agents that damage wood are: Light – Creates a chemical reaction within the cell walls of wood, leading to a change in color or texture; Acids – Cause wood to become brittle. Alkalies – Cause the fibers of the wood to separate and break down. Salts – Similar to alkalies, salts break down the fibers of wood.
Plasma activation. Plasma activation (or plasma functionalization) is a method of surface modification employing plasma processing, which improves surface adhesion properties of many materials including metals, glass, ceramics, a broad range of polymers and textiles and even natural materials such as wood and seeds.
