Characteristics and market prospects of UV coatings
    Paint can be seen everywhere in our lives, and everyone is no stranger to it. Perhaps the coatings learned in life are more solvent-based or thermosetting. However, the current development trend is UV paint, which is an environmentally friendly green paint.
    UV paint, known as "innovative and environmentally friendly green paint in the 21st century," its dosage is increasing at a rate of more than twice a year. The emergence of UV paint will make a world-shaking change in the application pattern of traditional coatings. What is UV paint? What profound impact will its appearance have on the furniture manufacturing industry?
    What is UV paint?
    UV paint refers to ultraviolet (ultraviolet) curing paint, that is, a resin coating that uses ultraviolet rays as a curing energy source to quickly crosslink at room temperature. Ultraviolet light is generated by special equipment, and the process in which the irradiated object is chemically reacted by UV light radiation to transform from liquid to solid is called the UV curing process.
    Light curing technology is an energy-saving, clean and environmentally friendly technology, which saves energy-energy consumption is only one-fifth of thermal curing, and it does not contain solvents, has almost no pollution to the ecological environment, and does not emit toxic gases and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere , Known as "green technology". The light curing technology is a kind of light processing technology in which the liquid epoxy acrylic resin is polymerized into a solid state at a high speed through the irradiation of a certain wavelength of ultraviolet light. The photocuring reaction is essentially a polymerization and crosslinking reaction initiated by light. Light-curing coatings have been unanimously recognized by the coatings industry because of their efficient coating curing and environmentally friendly characteristics.
    How much do you know about UV paint? In 1968, Bayer of Germany took the lead in using the UV curing system of unsaturated resin and benzoic acid to generate commercial products and developed the first generation of UV curing coatings. In the early 1970s, American Sun Chemical Company and Immontconciso Company successively developed UV-curable inks.
    In the early 1980s, since the mainland's abundant bamboo and wood resources and cheap labor were valued, Taiwanese flooring manufacturers began to invest and build factories in the mainland, and UV coating applications and production technologies were also introduced. Before the mid-1990s, UV coatings were mainly used for bamboo and wood floor processing and plastic varnishes, and were mainly transparent.
    In recent years, with the large-scale domestic furniture processing, UV coatings have gradually entered the wood coating field, and their advantages have also been widely recognized. At present, they have been widely used in many fields such as paper, plastics, metal, glass, and ceramics. Development in the direction of functionalization.
    Market prospects of UV coatings
    UV paint, how much do you know? At present, the traditional coatings used in the domestic furniture industry are still mainly PU, PE, and NC. The spray construction is inefficient, and it faces the problems of difficult recruitment and high labor costs. Only by improving the degree of automation of their own production can furniture manufacturing enterprises get rid of the bottleneck of development and improve corporate efficiency. On the other hand, the large amount of VOC emitted by furniture factories using traditional coatings has become an important source of environmental pollution. The current low-carbon economy and the popularity of green consumption will inevitably produce new technical standards and trade barriers. Developed countries such as Europe and the United States have formulated a number of regulatory measures in response to the characteristics and current situation of the furniture industry to stimulate the development of the furniture industry in the direction of green and environmental protection. Domestic furniture manufacturers, especially export-oriented enterprises, are facing the only challenges they had before.
    Under the background of the development of the industry, UV coatings conform to the trend of the times and become a new trend in the development of furniture coating. Its advantages as environmentally friendly and energy-saving and emission-reducing coatings have gradually emerged, and have also attracted great attention from relevant national departments. The "Eleventh Five-Year Development Plan for the Coating Industry" and the "Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the Coating Industry Science and Technology" both clearly stated that we must vigorously develop environmentally friendly UV coatings. UV coatings are about to usher in the industry's first take-off, and the market prospects are immeasurable.
