Introduction to UV Boards
UV board refers to a panel whose surface is protected by ultraviolet (UV) treatment. It is manufactured by spraying UV-specific paint (UV-curable coating) onto substrates like particleboard or fiberboard, followed by drying through a UV light curing machine to form a protective layer. Key features include:
-
Processing Advantages: Suitable for industrial production with high-efficiency equipment.
-
Material Benefits: Bright color, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, moisture-proof, and deformation-resistant. The primer is a high-quality solvent-free 4E coating, which is non-volatile, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. After curing, it exhibits high gloss and antibacterial properties.

Specific Performance
|
|
Surface Properties
|
Obvious mirror-high gloss effect; full and vibrant paint film with natural color transition.
|
|
Environmental Health
|
Free of benzene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs); UV curing forms a dense film to reduce substrate gas emission.
|
|
Physical Durability
|
Scratch-resistant (high hardness, becoming brighter with friction); no deformation at room temperature; resistant to acid-base disinfectants.
|
|
Chemical Stability
|
Superior physical-chemical properties than traditional boards, ensuring long-term colorfastness. White UV boards are prone to yellowing under sunlight (an industry challenge yet to be solved).
|
Principle: UV paint reacts with ultraviolet light to form a dense protective film. The molecular spacing is smaller than water and acetic acid molecules, providing water-proof and anti-staining effects.
-
Stone-like Texture: Adopts top-grade stone patterns, mimicking natural stones while overcoming their defects (e.g., color difference, brittleness).
-
Color System: Mainly earth tones, restoring natural stone colors with smooth transitions, combining gloss and layering.
-
Spatial Value: Quality comparable to natural stones but with superior performance, creating an elegant atmosphere that purifies visual experience.
-
Furniture: Panel furniture, living room/bedroom/study furniture, children's furniture, kitchen cabinets, etc.
-
Tables & Chairs: Office desks, student desks, lecterns, conference tables, computer desks, etc.
-
Decoration: Interior decoration, murals, photo frames, artistic photos, landscape paintings, etc.
-
Office: Staff workstations, computer cabinets, reception desks, internal company billboards, etc.
-
Doors & Partitions: Flat doors, partition boards, etc.
-
Others: Exhibition furniture, mall counters, commercial partitions, handicrafts, etc.
-
No VOC emission, meeting modern environmental standards;
-
Dense curing film reduces pollution release from the source;
-
Balances antibacterial properties with high gloss for practicality and aesthetics.
(Note: The weather resistance limitation of white
UV boards still requires industry technological breakthroughs.)
