In March 2007 we launched our new finishing service on wood-based panels, including MDF, plywood and OSB for applications ranging from construction site hoarding to shop-fitting, exhibition stands, decorative interiors, joinery, doors and furniture.
Our Euro 500K investment in a reciprocating spray finishing line with air drying and UV curing enables us to use the latest environmentally friendly water-based finishing technology, whilst allowing us to revert to solvent based systems where the application demands. We are confident that we are close to industry best-practice levels of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions in relation to the volume of production.
Panels and components receive their coating from 4 compound angle reciprocating high pressure airmix spray guns, which are computer controlled, so we have great repeatability on all flat and profiled boards. Our system coats edges and faces in one pass, so it’s cost effective when compared to other systems, which require hand spraying of edges for example.
We offer a high volume – fast turnaround service. We can turnaround a truck-load of priming in quick-time on board sizes up to 12’ x 4’ (3,660 x 1220 mm), but we also offer a small batch service.
We offer five levels of priming using three different paints with de-nibbing as an option finishes. Customer choice is typically driven by a combination of the over coating paint system (solvent or water based), the finishing process (brush, roller, curtain or spray) and of course, the quality of the finish. Whether it’s a utility grade finish for shop-fitting or high end furniture application, we can recommend an appropriate priming system.
