Powder coating on heat-sensitive substrates: Possibilities in multiple markets

A wide choice of powder-coating applications on wood or wood-based material

With their extremely low VOC composition and single-layer application possibilities, powder coatings for heat-sensitive substrates (HSS) deliver excellent protection for a wide range of furniture and internal architecture.

They’re particularly well suited to applications that experience heavy-duty use. For instance, bathroom cabinet drawers that are constantly exposed to moisture, or office furniture in use for many hours each day:

• Kitchen and bathroom furniture: These areas are moist and require frequent cleaning.
• Office furniture: Office furniture needs to reliably withstand long-term use, so that everyday wear and tear doesn’t shorten its lifetime.
• Children’s furniture: Children’s furniture is particularly prone to wear and tear and stains. In addition, there’s high demand for imaginative, playful new shapes and designs, as well as safer coating solutions.
• Construction: Coatings for building and construction applications need to stand the test of time – especially when it comes to UV resistance.

Across these various applications, the unique powder-coating processes of Covestro’s Uralac® low-bake technologies enable fine, seamless finishes. And multiple gloss levels, textures, and colors are possible too, to meet the individual application’s need.
