UV PRODUCT GROUP

UV PRODUCT GROUP UV CURABLE SYSTEMS UV curable systems are an effective and quite fast method. Applied wet film is cured very short time by exposed to ultraviolet rays. This technology has been discovered first in 1960’s year and developed every year. It is currently being used in many areas including the furniture and wood sector. LIGHT TYPES TV and Radio Microwave Infrared Visible Ultraviolet X-Rays Gamma Waves Light Rays UVA UVB UVC Long Wave Lenght Medium Wave Lenght Short Wave Lenght 365nm 300nm 254nm Ultraviolet rays energy is used for curing in UV systems. High production speed, obtain excellent surface with scratch and chemical resistance are the reasons why UV curable products are preferred.

UV PRODUCT GROUP ADVANTAGES OF UV SYSTEMS Energy Saving & High Production Speed UV curable products are generally solvent-free and can be cured in 1-2 second with ultraviolet rays. Their production speeds are much higher compared to conventional coating systems. Wood coating line speeds of 4-10 m/min. are common and can be increased to 70-90 m/min. Also applied surfaces are immediately ready for all tests and packaging. User Friendly UV curable products are compatible with almost all application techniques such as spray,roller,curtain etc. Furthermore, small space requirement and integrating UV lamps on existing production lines are another important advantage. Environment Friendly UV curable paints and varnishes are high solid products and generally they are solvent-free. This is why the solvent emission is low.

UV PRODUCT GROUP PAINTING PROCESS & QUALITY THE QUALITY OF THE COATING IS NOT COINCIDENCE. QUALITY OF FINISHING SURFACE IS RESULT OF SEVERAL VARIABLE IN PAINTING LINE. EACH PARAMETER ON THE LINE IS AFFECT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. THEREFORE ALL VARIABLES OF COATING SYSTEM MUST BE GET UNDER CONTROL TO GET SAME RESULTS AND QUALITY.

UV PRODUCT GROUP DIFFERENCES COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL COATINGS UV Curable Systems are completely different than conventional systems in terms of the curing mechanism. The products are become ready for use by drying within seconds under ultraviolet rays in UV systems. In conventional systems such as Cellulosic, Polyurethane and Acrylic, the curing process come true with cross-linking of the resin by evaporation of the solvent. UV systems are classified into 3 groups as 100% solids, solvent based and water based systems. UV Curable Systems can be applied without solvent. Applied paint or varnish turn into solid film after curing. Formulation of UV curable products Conventional Systems UV Curable contain high molecular weight oligomers and (Acrylic,Polyurethane,Cellulosic, Systems Water-based) low molecular weight monomers. All reactive Physical Drying + - groups form films as a result of cross-linking + + with the help of photo initiators and light. Also Chemical Drying (depending on binder) monomers which is using for reduce viscosity +/- contribute physical and chemical property of S olvent + (depending on cured film by attending polymer network after curing. application) Drying Times 1-72 h 3-5 sec

UV PRODUCT GROUP APPLICATION METHODS UV Curable Coatings can be applied with different equipments such as spray, roller coater or curtain coater etc. The most suitable application method can be chosen by considering the following criteria; • Shape of the surface to be applied (two or three dimensional; 2D or 3D) • Desired application quantity APPLICATION PRODUCT APPLICATION VISCOSITY SUBSTRATE TECHNIQUE QUANTITY Flat or 3D Spray • 100% UV 50 - 160 30 - 80 • UV+Solvent gr/m2 (15-20” DIN4) (20 - 60 %) Roller Coater • 100% UV 5 - 40 500 - 10000 Flat gr/m2 (mPa.s) • 100% UV Flat or Curtain Coater • UV+Solvent 60 - 120 150 - 250 slightly gr/m2 (40-60” DIN4) structure (5 - 10 %) 20 - 40 50 - 150 3D Vacuum • 100% UV gr/m2 (20-30” DIN4)

UV PRODUCT GROUP APPLICATION EQUIPMENTS LAMPS & REFLECTORS UV Curing Line UV curing equipment line are generally consists of UV lamps, reflectors, cooling-ventilation unit, conveyör and electrical power supply. UV Lamps Almost all lamps used in UV units available are based on mercury tubes. In transparent applications, the standard mercury lamps can well be used. However in the pigmented coatings, photoiniators can not create a radical due to the UV rays are blocked by pigment and sufficient curing can not be achieved. Therefore for the pigmented coating applications, lamps emitting light of different wavelengths have been developed to provide enough energy in the wave length that will not interfere the UV rays. In such lamps the emission spectrum of the mercury lamps is altered by the addition of halides of the other metals, such as iron or gallium. Standard Hg Bulb < 300 - 365 nm Fe-additive Bulb < 350 - 400 nm Ga-additive Bulb < 400 - 450 nm

UV PRODUCT GROUP APPLICATION EQUIPMENTS LAMPS & REFLECTORS In wood coating systems medium pressure and low pressure lamps are used due to different purposes. Their operational pressure and power output are different from each other. Medium Pressure UV Lamps 1 bar 80 - 120 W/cm Low Pressure UV Lamps 10-6 bar 10 - 12 W/cm Medium Pressure UV Lamps These type of lamps are used for total cure of the film on the surface and bottom. For transparent systems; Mercury lamps For pigmented systems; Mercury and Gallium lamps are used. Operational temperature of these lamps are around 1000˚C. The full energy of UV lamps can not be used for curing. Electrical power which is consumed by the lamp is converted only 20 to 25% into UV light and remaining energy is released as heat energy. The average life of UV lamps is up to 1500 hours. When the working time exceeds 1500 hours, the energy values of the lamps should be checked with the Radiometer device.

UV PRODUCT GROUP APPLICATION EQUIPMENTS LAMPS & REFLECTORS Low Pressure UV Lamps These lamps have a strong emission in the UV-A range and are hence efficient for medium curing. They have a low power and generally used for pre-gelling after the flash of period. TL03, TL05 and TL10 lamps are two typical representatives and both lamps are used for transparent and pigmented systems. Reflectors Reflector is used to direct the rays emitted in the “wrong direction” onto the surface of the coating because of UV lamp emits ray in all directions. Well designed reflectors can collect about 75% of the radiant and reflect it to surface. Several geometries of reflectors have been developed to meet the different requirements. They are generally shaped below: • Parabolic Parabolic • Elliptical • Special geometries Elliptical

UV PRODUCT GROUP APPLICATION EQUIPMENTS DRYING OVEN UV products containing volatile dilutents like water or solvent need complete evaporation before passing under UV lamps. Laminar tunnels which provide hot air can be used for evaporation in application areas. Especially in water based UV products, the ovens which can reduce the humidity of air and can evaporate all water in wet film with its infrared lamps can be used before full drying for accelerate the evaporation of water.

UV PRODUCT GROUP SAFE USE & STORAGE OF UV CURABLE PRODUCTS Safe Use of UV Products UV cured products should be avoided from contact with skin or eyes. Use of proper personal protective equipment is important to ensure workers are protected. • Polycarbonate safety glass for UV eye protection • Long sleeve, long pants and glove for skin protection In order to avoid potential health problems caused by UV rays, the exposed UV radiation should be stored in equipment and its propagation should be prevented. Proper Storage UV system products contain a photoinitiator. Therefore, when UV products come into contact with light, the polymerization reaction may occur in the package and it may cause deterioration in the package. For this reason UV product packaging should not be impose to light and UV products should be prevented from direct contact with light.

UV PRODUCT GROUP TYPES OF UV CURABLE COATINGS In terms of chemical UV Polyester Compared UV Polyacrylic background of the oligomers Good price and to polyester used in UV Curable quality balance formulation, UV products can be products classified as; shows better performance • Polyester Highest curing Combination • Polyacrylic speed of two different • Acrylic High quality curing Environmental mechanisms • Dual – Cure friendly (UV &PU) • Water Based UV UV Acrylic UV Dual-Cure

UV PRODUCT GROUP TYPES OF UV CURABLE COATINGS WATER BASED UV The use of Water Based UV Curable Systems is becoming widespread as it removes some of the disadvantages of water based and UV cured systems. ADVANTAGES OF WATER BASED UV CURABLE SYSTEMS Environment and User Friendly In contrast to traditional UV products (polyester and acrylic), water based UV products do not contain monomers and solvents. Water is the solvent in these coatings which reduce the viscosity of the products and make them sprayable and environmentally friendly. Their V OC content is low or near zero, also they don’t stink. High Scratch Resistance Application of Water Based UV Water Based UV Curable products have much higher Cured Products scratch, chemical and mechanical resistance than • These products can be apply with Conventional Water Based products. spray, curtain coater etc. • After application water inside wet Painting of Three Dimensional (3D) Surfaces film needs to be completely removed and Obtaining Matt Surfaces before it pass the UV lamp.

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP BL193.77.1000 MDF BARRIER WHITE MDF Barrier Primer is used to increase the surface quality, hide defects in low quality MDFs and increase the performance of the products (primer) to be applied afterwards. It is recommended to use MDF barrier before primer applications. Especially for applications given below:   • Edges of MDF • CNC treated MDF • MDF profiles • Low density MDF ( LDF )   Densities of upper and intermediate layers of MDF are the same. Although upper layer has a high density, it decreases through intermediate layers. Because of the fact that edges of MDF and CNC treated MDF have different densities profile , they show different paint absorption properties. High MDF density, low paint absorption Low MDF density, high paint absorption Lower density In paint applications, we generally use more primer on low density layer than high density layer. It is the most common failure to useprimer too much due to the absorption. This causes crackings on primers. Because primers are recommended with their limited application amount which is generally between 120 g/m² and 220 g/m² for first coat. But due to high absorption, amounts are increased up to 400-600 g/m² on low density layers, therefore cracking problems occur on primer .   Crackings occur especially in winter time. High amount of primer usage blocks solvent evaporation, paint looses mechanical properties and starts to cracking.   BL193.77.1000 MDF Barrier is the best solution to overcome this problem. When BL193.77 barrier is applied on low density layers (CNC treated MDF, edges of MDF), they behave like a high density layer. As a result; MDF layer has equal absorption properties. In other words, MDF becomes ready for primer application. High quality painting process is obtained by using MDF Barrier Primer on low density high absorption surfaces.   * For wood producer, high quality MDF means that upper and intermediate layers of MDF have very close densities.

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP BL193.77.1000 MDF BARRIER WHITE Edges of MDF are shown in two pieces which have 40mm thickness. We just applied 75 g/m2 barrier on the right part. After that one coat (1x130 g/m2) standard primer application was applied on both of them equally. As can be seen in the picture on the left, there is no film on the surface since the MDF has high paint absorption after application of the primer. On the other hand for the right part, film formation occured with good hiding power. This is the clear example to see the benefits of barrier usage. The most important point while applying barrier is to use it with recommended amounts (60-90 g/m²). We should not expect hiding power from barrier applications. The advantage of barrier is to decrease the price of production with the help of decreasing primer usage, also it overcomes the cracking problems. One other advantage of barrier is to provide high quality painted layer.

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP BL193.77.1000 MDF BARRIER WHITE CRACKING BASED ON MDF MDF is a hygroscopic material which has moisture exchange. According to relative humidity, it increases or decreases the moisture inside of it, therefore it swells or shrinks. In low density layers(CNC treated MDFs, edges of MDF) the exchange happens faster. MDFs which take the same amount of moisture can show different swelling and shrinkage properties due to the wood, ingredient portions inside, production process or resin content and properties. MDFs change their sizes in three dimensions in terms of lenght, thickness and width. The change mostly arises through thickness, other changes can be negligible.   In wood and furniture sector, cracking problems are observed mostly on edges and CNC treated layers. HOW CRACKING OCCURS? After primer application on MDFs, they have high moisture capacity. The moisture starts to create a pressure in edges in order to escape at optimum temperature. They can not create the pressure in upper layer because of high density and enough space to move, therefore the most suitable areas are edges. During the pressure, expansion in the direction of thickness starts, eventually paints or primers crack on edges.   When MDFs that produced with 6-8% moisture capacity is stocked in a place that has 95% humidity content, the moisture of MDFs can go up to 15%-25%. As a result of this edge which has 18 mm thickness can reach up to 19-21 mm and causes capillary crackings that can not be seen with eyes. As the solution method of this; although moisture can be lowered by firing method, it is not preferred much due to high cost and time loss. There is a different situation on edges to be applied primer. On the other hand, we can see the crackings on edges which applied primer and the most common discussion comes true; based on MDF or primer?

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP BL193.77.1000 MDF BARRIER WHITE As you can see, values are given in a certain interval. For having net values we recommend you to want dimensional stability values from your MDF supplier. Additionally advices of MDF producers should be taken into account in order not to face cracking problems.    MDFs that are applied primer in a right way provide isolation and this blocks moisture absorption.   PRECAUTIONS FOR CRACKING BASED ON MDF   • Dimensional stability, moisture content, swelling,shrinkage and mechanical property values in 24 hours should be wanted.   • Before paint application, moisture content in MDF should be calculated with moisture meter. The ideal percentage is 6-9%.   • During paint application whole layer including edges and back layer should be painted. The aim of the painting on surfaces is prevent the movement of wood by resetting the moisture inlet and outlet into the wood. Thus, the risk of cracking is minimized.

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP VL292.77.0000 WOOD BARRIER VL292.77.0000 Wood Barrier is produced for the purpose of solving problems such as vomiting, blurring and adhesion that may occur in oily trees such as teak, rosewood, ebony and rose. In addition, it is an effective barrier varnish that removes the problem of whitening in the pores and protects the natural texture of wood.    ADHESION FUNCTION Especially on resinous and oily woods (teak, rosewood, iroko, ebony etc.) when polyurethane, acrylic, cellulosic and UV are applied directly, adhesion problems may arise. After varnish application, the problem can occur immediately or months later. VL292.77 special barrier on oily woods provides an isolation between varnish and wood, therefore it reduces the effect of oil and resin on varnish and contributes the adhesion.   WHITENING FUNCTION ON PORES When standard varnish is applied on particularly processed, coloured veneers (industrial veneers) whitening problems arise in moires in time. Although whitenings are not observed immediately after application, problems shows up after a while. VL292.77 Thanks to its flexibility , it prevents the whitening problems on not oily veneers too.

BARRIER PRODUCT GROUP VL292.77.0000 WOOD BARRIER NATURAL APPEARANCE One of the most important reason for using wood in furniture and decoration works is visual appearance. Common woods are given below:   1 - Massive woods 2 - Natural veneers 3 - Engineered veneers (industrial veneers)   Against to natural woods, wood patterned foil and lamination products are often used. The products are also given below:   • Finish Foil • PVC Foil • PP Foil • HPL, LPM Lamination • Melamin Foil  There is a competiton between real wood and foil. Although ready products forms synthetic views, real wood products form natural view. In order to exhibit the difference it is important to choose the right varnish system. Choosing wrong varnish system results in losing natural look. In this case VL292.77 barrier usage gains an importance. The VL292.77 barrier reduces the surface tension of the wood, allowing the wetting of the polyurethane, acrylic, cellulosic and UV varnishes after the barrier application, better penetration into the moire and thus obtained a clear and natural appearance.
