Industrial coating of wood and wood-based materials in furniture construction
The book deals with the entire complex of industrial coating of surfaces in furniture construction. In addition to basic knowledge of the characterization of coating materials and surfaces using suitable test methods, the properties of various coating materials and relevant technologies are presented with a focus on the processor. New technologies such as powder coating or flat lamination as well as an outlook on the requirements of Industry 4.0 and the simulation of coating processes are taken into account.
Wood coating - chemistry and practice
This book describes the water-based paints and radiation-curing systems as well as powder paints for coating wood, MDF and paper foils. Guide formulations and current procedures for wood and wood-based panel coating are presented in detail. The authors also take into account market economy aspects – ecologically and economically in equal measure. Furthermore, the paint application and paint recovery as well as drying and hardening processes, quality testing and control are explained. A comprehensive basic work for the practice of wood coating.
Wood Coatings - Chemistry and Practic
This is the second revised edition of the classic “Chemistry and Technology of Wood Coating”. The book was published in 2018 due to worldwide inquiries. In this specialist book, the most important wood lacquer technologies for indoor and outdoor use are discussed with their advantages and disadvantages as well as their market significance.
The focus is particularly on environmentally friendly paint technologies, guide formulations and current processes for coating wood and wood-based materials are presented in detail. The latest processes for the industrial coating of high-gloss surfaces or d matt surfaces are also explained. The authors take into account market-economy aspects – ecologically and economically alike. Finally, current trends and further development opportunities are shown.
Wood Coatings - Chemistry and Practic
This is the second revised edition of the classic book “Chemistry and Technology of Wood Coating” in English. The book was published in 2018 due to global demand. In the meantime, it has developed into an international standard book for wood coating.
Wood coating - Russian translation
Due to the great interest in the coating of wooden surfaces in the Russian-speaking countries and inspired by training courses from Russian paint manufacturers, the wood coating book “Chemistry and Practice” was translated into Russian. The book is one of the standard works on the chemistry and technology of wood coating in the Russian-speaking world.
