Wood Paints & Coatings; Applied To the End Wood Product to Protect that Wood Product
Wood paints & coatings are applied after the wood surface is stained and prepared. The process of applying paint and coating to a finished wood product is known as wood finishing. Wood paints & coatings are used to enhance the appearance of the wood, increase the durability of the wood, and provide moisture and heat resistance to the wood surface. There are three main types of timber finishes such as evaporative, reactive, and coalescing. Evaporative finishes use acetone, alcohol, and nitro-cellulose lacquer thinners as solvents and thinners.
Wood
paint can enhance the feel and look of wooden surfaces and furniture. It can
also protect it from manmade and environmental factors. There are two types of
wood paint finishes such as latex and oil-based. Latex wood paint offers
stronger protection than oil-based finish and is thus perfect for wooden
surfaces. For furniture, it's best to use a satin or semi-gloss finish in
either a latex or an oil-based paint. A latex primer is an excellent choice for
most uses. It goes on easily and blocks most stains, and it doesn't have the
odor of an oil-based primer.
Semi-gloss
or high-gloss paint sheens are best; their finish is easier to clean, and
moisture beads on these surfaces rather than being absorbed, so the paint does
not weather or fade with time. Wood coatings are basically a kind of material
to be applied on a wooden surfaces to protect the wood from different natural and
manmade factors. Wood paints & coatings act as a lifeguard to any wooden
item. Polyurethane wood finishes are synthetic coatings that are highly durable
and water resistant, making them the best clear coat for wood protection.
Wood
Paints & Coatings are added to the end wood product, primarily to
preserve the overall quality of the finished product, in terms of texture,
color, and durability. Thus, there is a rise in demand for wood paints &
coatings. A multi-million-dollar investment by AkzoNobel is set to transform
the company’s wood coatings facility in North Carolina (a state in the U.S.).
It will further strengthen the company's position in the U.S. wood coatings
market.
