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.
