Uralac® Ultra: Powder coating for heat-sensitive substrates.
Imagine a powder coating for MDF and engineered wood that can be processed 10 times faster than liquid coatings, save coating companies up to 45%, and is proven to perform long-term in a wide range of environments and applications – safer, solvent-free and more sustainable.
All this – and more – is now a reality thanks to our Uralac® Ultra advanced binder technology, and the team of application experts behind it. If you thought you knew the benefits of powder-coating for MDF, it is time to think again!
"There are many benefits to powder coatings. First and foremost, they are totally toxin free."

Frequently asked questions
How do we spray powder on standard 'non-conductive' MDF?
For application of the powder, moisture within the MDF is used for conductivity. A moisture content of 4-8% of total weight is sufficient to attract the powder.
Is the oven I use for powder coating metal suitable for curing MDF too?
Most conventional curing ovens are convection ovens. Best results for MDF are reached with infrared radiation (IR) ovens.
With IR ovens, the MDF's surface can be heated quickly to cure the powder coating, while its core stays relatively cool.
With convection ovens, temperatures are often too high, or the MDF's core heats up too much because of the longer period needed to reach curing temperatures.
