Potential Problems Maple Finish (close pore) Veneer and Solid

Soakers on soft areas (non-uniform build)

Dark spots on soft areas (non-uniform color)

Adhesion on polish sanded hard areas

Color change on natural/ light finishes with age

Chart

Potential Problems Oak Finish (open pore) Veneer and Solid

Bubbles, blisters

Pinholes

White pore on dark finish

Veneer checking, cracking with age

Water damage on edges

Chart

Natural Wood Feature Problems

Mineral Streaks

Tannin

Rosin

Oils

These can bleed through and discolor certain coatings and/or cause adhesion problems.

A variety of coatings which resist these problem features are available from coatings suppliers.

Wood OEM Coatings Types For Sealers And Topcoats

Nitrocellulose Alkyd Lacquer

Acid Cure Varnish and Lacquer

UV Cure 100%, SB, WB

Waterborne Acrylic, PUD

Other-CAB Acrylic, Vinyl, 2K Urethane

Chart

Nitrocellulose Alkyd Lacquer

Disadvantages:Advantages:

More prone to damage on wear surfaces/edges

Flammable solvents

High flame spread surface

Higher VOC (typical)

Lower transfer efficiency

Prone to yellowing

Excellent appearance/wood tone-grain definition

Easy to repair or strip

No pot-life problems

Easy to spray apply

Economical

Partially renewable

Can air dry

Chart

Acid Cure Varnish and Lacquer

Disadvantages:Advantages:

Emits formaldehyde

Pot-life

Moderate VOC

Flammable solvents

More difficult to reclaim overspray

Very durable to damage on wear surfaces and edges

Excellent appearance/wood tone-grain definition

Good build per coat

Easy to spray

Economical

Partially renewable

Chart

UV Waterborne

Disadvantages:Advantages:

Some grain raise potential

Must evaporate water 6-8 min FD before UV cure

Initial investment in UV cure equipment

Higher cost per gallon (off-set by transfer efficiency and reclaim)

Protect from freezing

Very durable to damage on wear surfaces and edges

Low VOC/no formaldehyde

Non-flammable

Good transfer efficiency

Can reclaim overspray

No pot-life

Good build per coat

Fast process to stack/pack

Chart

Waterborne Acrylic PUD

Disadvantages:Advantages:

Some potential for grain raise

Higher cost per gallon (partially off-set by transfer efficiency)

Protect from freezing

Moderately durable

Can air dry

Low VOC

No formaldehyde

Non-flammable

Easy to apply

No pot-life

Good transfer efficiency

Chart

UV 100%

Disadvantages:Advantages:
