Furniture is a key application within the industrial wood coatings market, with coatings being applied to products in factories during the manufacturing process. Growing awareness of environmental issues and increasingly strict regulatory standards are driving coating applicators to look for more sustainable water-borne solutions to replace traditional solvent-borne systems. Water-borne wood coating solutions from Dow for furniture applications provide lower VOC levels combined with excellent performance. In addition to a more sustainable solution, applicators benefit from early block resistance to improve coating application, in addition to scratch resistance and chemical resistance for topcoat applications.
