According to research from Chemark Consulting Group, solventborne liquid coatings hold a 75 to 80 percent market share of the wood coatings industry. Solventborne materials are expensive to use and dispose of, and are subject to increasing levels of governmental regulations.
Consumers are looking for products and processes that meet and exceed environmental regulations, have a smaller carbon footprint, generate lower total applied cost, and produce a higher return on investment. It is possible to do this and reduce your manufacturing footprint, improve operational efficiencies and improve safety by changing how you approach your coating process. The solution is UV-curable powder coating, a faster, cleaner and greener way to coat a variety of substrate materials such as medium density fiberboard (MDF) wood.
