Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the surface coating performance using water base, solvent base and powder coating on medium density fiberboard. Samples were coated using water-base, solvent-base and powder coating. Coating performance was performed by using adhesion strength, surface coating hardness, layer thickness and rapid deformation test. The results were analyzed with two different statistical methods. Adhesion strength, layer thickness and surface hardness were determined by using ANOVA analysis, while results of rapid deformation test were analyzed by using Kruskal-Wallis method. According to these results, coating type was effective factor on the adhesion strength, surface coating hardness, layer thickness and rapid deformation test. Water-based painting application for adhesion strength and impact deformation resistance was higher than solvent-based coating. In the powder coating application, although surface coating hardness was higher than solvent and water base coating application, rapid deformation results were lower than solvent and water base coating applications. Adequacy of models was performed R-square (R²) and Adjusted R-square (Adj-R2) values. R2 values of adhesion strength, layer hardness and film layer thickness were 93.60 %, 95.33 % and 73.90 %, respectively. Adj-R2 values of adhesion strength, layer hardness and film layer thickness were 93.45 %, 95.23 % and 73.30 %, respectively.
Highlights
Particleboard, fiberboard and wood based materials are widely used in furniture industry and cabinet production
The results showed that the water base coating of adhesion strength was higher than solvent borne coating
The results of adhesion strength, layer thickness and coating hardness for solvent base, water base and powder coating are given in the (Table 1)
Summary
Particleboard, fiberboard and wood based materials are widely used in furniture industry and cabinet production. Surface quality and type of the coating material are two significant factors influencing overall quality of the product (Ahola 1991, De Moura and Hernandez 2006, Ramananantoandro et al 2018, Salca et al 2017). It is a well-known fact that coating performance namely adhesion is depended on hygroscopic characteristic of wood composite panels. It is effective in the performance of the products and the preferences of the customers
