Uralac® Ultra

Getting a handle on cool cabinet finishes

Powder coating for cupboard and cabinet finishes is changing for the better with  Uralac^® Ultra. This advanced binding technology for MDF, plywood and engineered wood gives coating specialists a unique combination of price and process efficiency unlike other coating technologies. You can apply Uralac^® Ultra in a single coat and any color - including clear coats - to complex and intricate designs, with no drying time needed. You can also use it as a primer with a liquid topcoat, significantly reducing processing time, and labor. What’s more, its lower curing temperature of 120-130 degrees Celsius opens up a new world of possibilities in the choice of materials you can use for cupboards, veneer wardrobes – and most other domestic cabinets. 

Safe and solvent-free furniture? It’s kid’s stuff

We realize that safety will always be your number one priority for children’s furniture – and you can rest assured it’s ours too. Which is why at DSM we created a sustainable binding technology for powder-coated MDF that’s formulated to be free of all solvents and VOCs while complying with the stringent requirements of major brands we serve. Why? Because we care. Not only does Uralac^® Ultra protect the little ones, it safeguards your profitability thanks to a fast and efficient singe-coating process with no drying time that boosts productivity and enables the most intricate (and let’s face it, fun) shapes and contours – in any color. And as you’d expect, powder coatings made with Uralac^® Ultra deliver the toughness and durability so essential for playtime. Finally, 100% solvent-free coatings really are kid’s stuff. 

Fabulous finishes for kitchen and bathroom

We all know that when it comes to humid kitchen and bathroom environments a piece furniture or architecture is only as good as its protective coating: from large surface areas in the bathroom exposed to sunlight, to dishwasher cabinets that get boiled every day. Traditionally, powder-coated MDF wasn’t a practical solution for this challenging environment. Enter Uralac^® Ultra – which enables an advanced, seamless powder coating for the bathroom and kitchen that’s proven to create water-resistant surfaces that withstand mold, mildew, steam and condensation. It also resists detergents and chemicals while retaining color and sharpness over time with no yellowing or peeling – and no delamination and board swelling.

It’s all done via a fast and efficient one-step-coating system for engineered wood that enables great sealing and the most intricate bathroom paint finish along with imaginative new kitchen furniture designs. Alternatively, you can use Uralac^® Ultra primer with a liquid topcoat for a more efficient two-layer finish. Whatever suits you (and your customers).
