DSM Coating Resins is a major player in the industrial wood coating market, offering customers a comprehensive choice of resins. Our product portfolio currently features a wide range of alkyds and acrylates. These systems can be used for producing an equally wide range of industrial wood coatings for an infinite variety of wood substrates. We can provide every wood coating manufacturer with the resin system they need, whether they use ultra-modern wood finishing technology or traditional coating techniques. DSM Coating Resins serves the market from three production plants in Europe.

With environmental regulations being tightened up, wood finishing companies are increasingly expecting their resin suppliers to come up with innovative formulations and applications. Less solvent, for instance, and formaldehyde-free systems. Our researchers are working on innovative resin systems such as high-solids solutions. Furthermore, we also devote a lot of R&D effort to new UV curable powder coating technology for wood substrates.

Industrial wood coating resins are used for the production of industrial wood finishes, which are factory applied to all kinds of wood substrates. DSM Coating Resins' portfolio currently features resin systems based on:

• fast-drying Uralac alkyds and

• Uracron acrylates.

Industrial wood coatings have to satisfy a wide range of requirements, from fast drying to excellent flow. Our products combine high performance with competitive prices and meet ever stricter environmental regulations

Several coating types and chemistries have been developed to meet the various requirements in taste and quality. DSM Coating Resins therefore offers a number of commonly used binders, each being based on specific generic types of resin. The most important coating systems are based on:

• acid-catalyst binders (AC), 1 and 2 component acrylate and alkyd based polyurethanes (PUR), and

• nitrocellulose systems (NC).

These systems are used in three main fields:

• Furniture such as household & domestic furniture, Institutional and commercial furniture.

•Flat stock panels, parquet and flat pack furniture.

•Joinery such as window frames and doors (interior and exterior).

At DSM Coating Resins we have a very clear goal: to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. Through effective, reliable and individualized service. And a versatile resins portfolio characterized by quality, product consistency and competitive prices.

DSM Coating Resins' R&D effort focuses on the development of new systems and innovative technologies to respond to customers' demands for high performance resin formulations and applications. With environmental regulations becoming increasingly stringent, our researchers are working on waterborne alkyd resins systems and high solids solutions, and the further development of UV-curing powder systems.
