  • What is UV paint?  

  • What is PU paint?  

  • What's the difference between the two?  

  • How do you tell them apart?  



PU paint is a general term for all polyester coatings. Its film forming method is natural film forming without special process.  Its characteristics are: the paint film is thin is not very hard;  But it is remarkably good at adhesion (even a wood as oil-rich as teak, not to mention others);  Its luster is said, looks not very bright, can show the spinning and color of the floor very well;  The price is relatively higher than UV paint.  


UV paint: UV curing paint (UV code), its raw materials are generally cyclic resin, its characteristics are: film hardness is high, adhesion is not as good as PU paint, film thickness can reach 0.6cm(PU paint is 0.4cm).  High gloss (because it is divided into drizzle paint and roll paint, can be divided into matte, semi-matte and light).  


UV paint is to have many advantages, the cost is low, but with a bit of oily bamboo floor, do not know how film firmness?  Will PU paint be better?  


       At present, Uv paint or Pu paint is mostly used in bamboo and wood floor production.  The so-called U v paint refers to the paint process using light curing paint, Pu paint is used polyurethane paint.  The main difference between UV paint and Pu paint is the different process of processing, some light curing paint also have polyurethane paint.  The light curing process used by U V paint is pollution-free and more environmentally friendly than Pu paint. From the process of processing floor in the factory, it is good for workers' health and environmental protection. From the perspective of production, it is a new generation of products.  However, to buy a buyer, the finished product of the floor already was in processing process, the solvent in making its lacquer face volatilized, no matter be to use the U V lacquer floor that smooth solidify craft produces, or the Pu lacquer floor that produces with traditional craft, won't make pollution harm to user.  


The difference between UV paint and PU paint, two kinds of paint are commonly used in the market.  


UV paint uses ultraviolet drying, suitable for the floor with lower grease.  UV paint it luminosity, smooth surface, high hardness, no special smell, processing speed.  But UV paint is instantaneous drying with ultraviolet radiation, can not penetrate into the wood inside, easy to fall off, especially in the wood natural expansion, shrinkage will produce surface paint cracking.
