Nanocoating for Carpentry

A project undertaken by Beijing University of Chemical Technology to produce nanocoating materials for carpentry has achieved breakthroughs. The effort has resulted in a high performance water soluble coating material for carpentry application, with its major performance indicators, including water endurance, hardness, and coating saturation, reaching the national standards for similar oil soluble coating materials. Having a volatile organic content as low as 6g/L, the product makes a substitute for oil soluble counterparts for coating wooden furniture and for interior decorations of residential and hotel structures. As it is water soluble, the product produces no organic solvent and nor residues in application, and is an environment friendly coating material for carpentry. Based on a trial application at the small scale and a pilot application with an annual capacity of 2000 tons a year, the research team has developed two technologies for synthesizing and coating preparation that can be used in commercial applications at an annual capacity of 10,000 tons.
