UV curing for wood & wood based materials

UV systems for partial curing/pinning, pre-gelling, matting and final curing

UV curing offers numerous advantages in the surface treatment of wood and wood-based materials: it enables extremely fast curing, which significantly increases production speed and reduces energy costs. Solvent-free UV coatings enable high-quality surfaces whose properties can be specifically tailored to the respective application. Depending on the coating, a high level of resistance to scratches, chemicals and moisture can be achieved, for example. The UV curing process requires comparatively little space and enables precise control of the curing process.

Discover our advanced UV systems for wood and wood-based materials that enable efficient wood finishing and wood coating. With our UV systems for wood, we offer customised solutions for surface coatings on wood that provide both protective and decorative properties.

Substrates and applications

Our UV systems offer versatile solutions for the wood industry, from partial curing (pinning) to final curing. We achieve first-class results with UV-curing finishes such as fillers, sealers and lacquers that have been specially developed for the requirements of wood and wood-based materials. Whether for 2D or 3D applications, our systems are ideal for coating chipboard, MDF/HDF fibreboard and natural real wood. Especially for parquet and wooden floors, but also for the finishing of mouldings, profiles, doors and windows, we ensure a high-quality, long-lasting surface.

Special features and industry expertise

Our UV systems for wood-based materials can be adapted in terms of UV output and thermal load to the requirements of the respective substrate and curing process. Thanks to our UV wood coating technology and long-standing network, we offer industry-leading expertise in wood finishing and coating. Our range includes air- or water-cooled UV systems that have been specially developed for the requirements of wood finishing.
