Melamine-faced boards are created through a high-temperature pressing process, bonding melamine-impregnated paper onto substrates like MDF, chipboard, multi-layer plywood, and more. These melamine papers feature a variety of exquisite patterns and designs, offering excellent decorative effects that meet consumer demands for aesthetics in decoration. Additionally, melamine-faced boards are renowned for their wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and waterproofing properties. These attributes have made melamine-faced boards increasingly popular in the building decoration market, particularly for custom furniture, panel furniture, and office furniture.

With the maturation of UV curing coating technology, an efficient and energy-saving coating process has been developed for melamine decorative veneers. This process offers significant advantages, including high gloss, good wear resistance, and high hardness. However, melamine resin is a highly chemically stable material. The melamine decorative veneer surface is coated and cured at high temperatures to form a dense film, making it very challenging to apply coatings to its surface. Generally, UV coatings struggle to achieve the required adhesion on these surfaces.

Adhesion, therefore, presents a significant technical challenge for UV coatings based on melamine substrates. Ensuring that coatings properly adhere to the surface is crucial for achieving the desired protective and decorative effects.

At Tianke Polymer, we have developed a specialized solution for melamine substrates to address this challenge. Our recommended adhesive layer consists of the following components: TK4221+TK4228+T-201.

TK4221: This is a difunctional aliphatic polyurethane acrylate known for its good flexibility, waterproof properties, and excellent adhesion to melamine boards. It is specifically formulated for use on melamine substrates, ensuring robust adhesion even on these challenging surfaces.

TK4228: Another difunctional aliphatic polyurethane acrylate, TK4228 offers excellent yellowing resistance, good toughness, high hardness, and superior scratch resistance. It provides the durability and longevity required for high-quality UV coatings.

T-201: This is a phosphate acrylate that acts as an adhesion promoter within the formula. Its inclusion enhances the bonding properties of the coating, ensuring that the UV coating adheres strongly to the melamine surface. 

Our carefully formulated combination of these UV oligomers ensures that UV coatings can achieve the necessary adhesion, gloss, and durability on melamine-faced boards. Whether you are producing UV coatings for custom furniture, panel furniture, or office furniture, our products can help you meet the high standards demanded by today’s consumers.
