Ten times faster with powder coatings
Discover why and how Belgian company Kempa, manufacturer and coater of high-end kitchen furniture, chose Uralac® Ultra based powder coatings.
Imagine a powder coating for MDF and engineered wood that can be processed 10 times faster than liquid coatings; that can unlock cost savings of up to 45% for coating companies; and is proven to perform long-term in a wide range of environments and applications – safely, solvent-free and sustainable. All this (and more) is now a reality thanks to our Ultra advanced binder technology, and the team of application experts behind it. So, if you thought you already knew the benefits of powder-coating for MDF, maybe it’s time to think again…

For the application of the powder, the moisture in the MDF is used for conductivity. A moisture content of 4-to-8 percent of weight is sufficient to attract the powder.

Most of the conventional curing ovens are convection ovens but the best results for MDF are reached with infrared radiation (IR) ovens. With IR ovens, the surface of the MDF can be heated up quickly to cure the powder coating, while the core of the MDF stays relatively cool. With convention ovens, the temperatures are often too high or the core of the MDF heats-up too much because of the longer time needed to reach the curing temperature.
