UV Paints for Prefinished Parquet

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND AESTHETIC IMPACT
The thirty years of experience that ICA has accumulated in its studies on paints for wood has brought about the formulation of prducts which are more and more oriented towards maximum performance as far as chemical resistance and durability are concerned, and at the same time respect for the natural beauty of the wood. The range of UV products for prefinished parquet give optimum results whilst producing low solvent emission (VOC), guaranteeing the chemical-physical characteristics that are expected of a product for parquet such as hardness, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance. A correct balance between chemical and mechanical characteristics during the application cycle is essential to obtain an optimum final result.

FILLERS, available both transparent and colored.
PRIMER, available both solvent and water based, they guarantee excellent adhesion onto various wooden supports.
BASE COATS characterized for their excellent abrasion resistance, covering power and good sandability.
TOP COATS excellent scratch resistance (both matt and gloss top coats), good hardness and chemical resistance, excellent distension. They are also applicable by laser roller.

The results of various tests carried out in our laboratories on surfaces treated with UV cycles for prefinished parquet compared to surfaces treated with bicomponent solvent based polyurethane products for traditional parquet can be seen in the following table. The results of the UV cycles are comparable, and in some cases even superior to the polyurethane cycles. The most important test is probably that of abrasion resistance. This test in fact simulates the wear and tear on a painted parquet provoked by the tread of feet, using a taber abrasion meter with CS-17 wheels, loaded with a 1kg weight for 1000 revs.

The results shown in the table refer to the loss of weight expressed in milligrams: the UV cycles resulted superior to the polyurethaned ones, particularly regarding the samples treated with the special anti-scratch top coat which, thanks to its special formulation gives excellent performance ressults.

UV OIL

Uv Cured base/top coat which allows the realisation of quick cycles with a particularly natural effect and an almost invisible film.

UV AGEING AGENTS

UV Ageing effect treatment, available in a wide range of colours and coatable with UV top coats and with UV oil.

NATURLUX

Product specially studied for maintenance of parquet treated with oil (both normal and UV), or with wax.
