High Performance Coatings (HPC) are typically applied as multi-layer systems by roller coating
technology and cured by ultra violet (UV) energy. The coatings are either micro- and/or nano-particle modified acrylated resins, which yield extreme hardness resulting in high mechanical resistance to scratch, impact and abrasion. Depending on the degree of mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance required, HPC offers vast application possibilities in the wood-based panels industry, in particular for Laminate Flooring. The advantages of HPC are superb technical surface properties at optimum production and material cost in combination with the possibility of product differentiation. — A clear competitive edge over so-called dry finishing technologies.
