Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a light-colored wood component for the interior of an automotive vehicle that includes a UV additive-containing aqueous treating mixture coated onto the wood substrate at a loading ranging between about 84 to about 104 g/m2, and having a low gloss polyurethane-containing topcoat essentially free of UV additives applied to the top surface of the wood substrate. The wood component can have a 60 degree surface gloss rating no greater than about 25 gloss units measured according to ASTM D523-08 test conditions. Methods of producing the vehicle interior component are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method of enhancing visual aspect stability in wooden substrates comprised of the steps of preparing a sealing composition by mixing thermosetting resins and hardener, applying said sealing composition onto the surface of a wooden substrate; and curing said polymer. The method may additionally comprise further steps of: scuffing or sanding the cured sealing layer, applying one or more topcoat composition, and curing said topcoat composition. Interior that comprises sealed wooden substrates with enhanced visual aspect stability produced by methods of the invention are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of sealing at least part of the surface of an article, comprising the steps of (a) applying a layer of a radiation-curable melt based on a moisture-crosslinking polyurethane to at least part of the surface of the article, and (b) irradiating the melt layer. The invention further relates to article surfaces sealed in this way, and also to the use of the abovementioned melt for surface sealing.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a method for the color stabilization of cork and specific colored woods by the combined use of a small amount of inorganic UV-absorbers and an excess of organic UV-absorbers in a protective coating. A further aspect of the invention is the use of such a UV-absorber combination for the color stabilization of cork and specific colored woods.
Abstract:
Wood finishes and methods of production and application of wood finishes are provided. The finishes may contain biologically produced components, such as proteins, and specifically may include whey proteins derived from dairy processing. The wood finishes are environmentally friendly as they use reduced levels of solvents and provide a safe and protective coating for wood and wood products.

Abstract:
A process is provided for producing a wood product exhibiting enhanced resistance to checking. The process comprises selecting a wood component, heating the surface of the wood component, and applying a radiation-curable composition to the surface.
Abstract:
A process for treating wood comprising at least partially penetrating it with a urethane- or acrylate-based fluoro-material. Also, wood produced by the process.
Abstract:
Methods for reducing face checking in wood products are disclosed. The methods generally include applying to at least a portion of the wood product a coating having a (meth)acrylate moiety and a pigment, wherein the cured coating has a Tg of less than 55° C.
Abstract:
Wood cellulose is treated with a reactive silicate. The reaction is done to cellulose within the wood and may be catalyzed with acid or base catalysts or a carbon silicon halogen combination which produces in situ acid catalysts or a different combination to produce an in situ base catalyst which replaces some of the molecules or atoms within the cellulose structure with silicon, boron or other hydrophobic or anti-degrading agents. Preferably an organic solvent, such as alcohol is used to accelerate the reaction with the water in the wood. Here, the hydroxyl (OH) group on some or all of the cellulose molecules is partially replaced with silicon or an alternative atom or molecule to changes the character of the wood. The process may be modified to insert a preliminary step of adding a reactive agent to be locked into the wood. Manufacturing techniques to enhance the process using ultrasound or other wave generating techniques are also taught.
