Powder coatings for heat-sensitive substrates: Durable, protective, beautiful
Beauty and protection that lasts
Whether you need a clear or colored coating, and a textured or smooth finish, powder-coating technologies are ideal for delivering a seamless finish. And with Covestro’s Uralac® powder-coating technologies, you can also enjoy all these features on heat-sensitive substrates (HSS).
Our Uralac® HSS solutions can resist water, chemicals, and UV light, as well as everyday scratches and stains. And this protection is proven to last – Uralac® HSS solutions have passed a range of industry tests for durability, including NEN-EN 12720, Blue Wool Scale, and hinge hole (Ledro test) benchmarking.

Powder coating colors? The choice is yours
First impressions count – and that includes the right color! Unlike some UV powder coatings, the pigmentation in our coating colors is not compromised by prolonged exposure to light. So, with technologies like Uralac® Ultra and Engain, you can create almost any color you want – it really is up to you.

From smooth coating to matt finish
Your powder coating’s finish has a big impact. You might need a fine matt finish that can’t be attained with conventional powder coatings, or a silky smooth finish with anti-glare options.
With our Uralac® HSS solutions, you can choose from a wide variety of gloss levels – all strong and seamless, and tailored to your needs.

The clear choice for a transparent coat
With our powder-coating technologies for HSS, it really is possible to provide a beautifully clear, transparent powder coating for wood!
Unlike conventional two-and-three-layer systems, Uralac® Ultra and Uralac® UV don’t require a primer and a topcoat. They deliver a natural, varnish-like finish that brings out the wood’s natural beauty in a single application – with long-lasting performance and no yellowing.

Making a splash with water-repellent coatings
It’s not just kitchens and bathrooms that suffer from moisture – for many consumers, the climate they live in is also humid. Uralac®-based solutions for HSS can help you support these consumers with water-repellent coatings.
The technology can deliver a waterproof, mold-resistant, humidity-resistant finish that prevents yellowing, peeling, or swelling in the wood. This has been demonstrated with the industry-standard hinge hole benchmarking test.
