In the context of the coatings industry facing increasingly stringent environmental protection policies and industry standards, the wood paint market, as one of the main application areas of coatings, is also undergoing changes.
On November 30, innovation pioneers in the field of polyurethane coatings Covestro and DSM held a new product launch conference to launch the latest innovative solution for wood coatings during ChinaCoat 2016-high solid, low VOC coating system. This environmentally friendly wood coating solution does not need to adjust the spraying line or change the original construction habits, which will bring a new choice and new possibility for the furniture industry chain to achieve better sustainable development.
Covestro's leading curing agents and DSM resin products complement each other to bring a solvent-based, high solids and low VOC product to the industry.
DSM's Uralac® 1801, 1802
Characteristics: 1801 is used for highlight, 1802 is used for matte, both are two-component solvent type alkyd; solid content is 90%; VOC is about 400g / l.
Advantages: convenient construction, no need to change the existing construction process; single coating film thickness is high, improve construction efficiency.
These two polyester products have played an excellent role in the wooden furniture and flooring industries.
Covestro's Desmodur® IL V170
Characteristics: solid content 70.0 ± 2.0%; NCO content 15.0 ± 0.5%; viscosity 600-1400mPa.s (23 ° C).
Advantages: excellent thinning ratio; better compatibility; excellent permeability; excellent fullness; longer trial period.
DesmodurIL V170 curing agent can be used in the furniture industry for primers and topcoats. The application of topcoats has different effects of high gloss and matte.
When DSM's Uralac® 1801 and 1802 are used in combination with Covestro's Desmodur® IL V170, excellent performance and appearance can be achieved. The solid content is 90% and the solvent content is very low. It is also outstanding in ease of use, and can achieve high performance similar to traditional coatings in performance. When the two products are combined, higher appearance and performance can be achieved.
"In the Chinese furniture industry, we are currently facing greater pressure on energy conservation and environmental protection, but some people will feel threats and opportunities as well. This backward force mechanism makes our entire industry more innovative because we Industry cooperation can completely overcome the huge challenges currently facing the furniture industry. "Said Peter Krupa, Covestro's head of application and technology development.
The 2016 China International Coatings Show is being held in Guangzhou. Covestro's Coatings, Adhesives and Specialty Chemicals (CAS) business unit showcases its innovative polyurethane coatings and Adhesive solutions. (Booth: 10.2 Hall A15-24)
