Amsterdam, Oct 26th 2016, Dr Xavier Drujon will present specialty acrylates advances for UV/EB/LED high performance wood coatings with a sustainable approach.
UV curing technology has found in the furniture and flooring industries one of its main applications. Production processes and performance standards have been refined over the last decades.
Regulatory and compliance constraints have been increased up to a point where it will soon compel the industries to re-think and re-formulate their optimized coating formulations.
This presentation will focus on some of these challenges but also on some opportunities. New raw materials are presented, which enable the formulation of BPA-free, toxic free wood coatings as well as renewable resources or LED/low energy curable solutions.
