Les finitions poudres appliquées sur le bois et matériaux dérivés (optimisation du procédé industriel, étude des relations finition/substrat et fonctionnalisation)

Les finitions poudres, utilisées avec succès dans l'industrie du métal, représentent aujourd'hui une alternative aux systèmes utilisés actuellement pour les substrats en bois. Cette technologie permet tout d'abord de répondre aux besoins des industriels de l'ameublement et de la menuiserie car elle est en parfait accord avec la Directive Européenne 1999/13/CEE sur la réduction des émissions des COV. De plus, l'arrivée sur le marché de formulations thermodurcissables à basse température et à polymérisation sous UV a permis d'appliquer cette technologie à des substrats thermosensibles tels que le bois et ses matériaux dérivés. Actuellement, la finition poudre donne de très bons résultats en termes de qualité sur le panneau de fibres (MDF). D'autres résultats prometteurs ont aussi été obtenus sur du contreplaqué ou du bois massif de hêtre. Etudier de près l'ensemble des facteurs influençant le procédé, en particulier la nature du support bois et sa préparation, les paramètres de poudrage et de cuisson sont les objectifs principaux l'optimisation de ce procédé à l'échelle industrielle. Par ailleurs, les interactions substrat-finition poudre, outre les caractéristiques chimiques des résines, semblent définir la qualité finale du système et sa durabilité vis-à-vis du vieillissement. Un axe supplémentaire de l'étude est de vérifier l'éventuelle fonctionnalisation des finitions poudres pour leur donner des rôles particuliers, comme par exemple l'apport d'une propriété antibactérienne ou l'adsorption de COV environnantsPowder coatings, successfully used in the metal industry, represent today an alternative to the systems currently used for wooden substrates. This technology allows first to respond to the needs of manufacturers of furniture and carpentry as it is in perfect agreement with the European Directive 1999/13/EEC on the reduction of VOC emissions. In addition, the arrival on the market of thermosetting formulations at low temperature or UV polymerization allows to apply this technology to heat-sensitive substrates such as wood and derivates. Currently, powder coating gives very good results in terms of quality on the fiberboard (MDF). Other promising results have also been obtained on plywood or solid beech. Study the factors influencing the process, in particular the nature of the substrate and its preparation, powdering and baking settings are the main objectives to optimize this process on an industrial scale. Furthermore, interactions substrate-powder coating, in addition to the chemical characteristics of resins, seem to define the final quality of the system and its durability against aging. An additional axis of the study is to verify the possible functionalization of powder coatings provide particular roles, such as for example the provision of an antibacterial property or the adsorption of surrounding VOCMETZ-SCD (574632105) / SudocNANCY1-Bib. numérique (543959902) / SudocNANCY2-Bibliotheque electronique (543959901) / SudocNANCY-INPL-Bib. électronique (545479901) / SudocSudocFranceF

Wood-coating layer studies by X-ray imaging

International audienceThe penetration depth into wood structure by different wood finishes (solvent-borne, waterborne or powder) was assessed using a non-destructive analysis method, that is, X-ray tomography. The coating thickness was also evaluated. The results obtained from the image analysis by two specific softwares, namely VGStudio MAX(A (R)) and ImageJ(A (R)), are compared and discussed by taking into account the chemical properties and anatomy of wood materials and the nature of finishes. The degree of coating penetration is mainly determined by its ability to flow into capillaries, and it was observed that resin type, solid matter content and drying method influence this ability

UV powder coatings containing synthetic Ag-beidellite for antibacterial properties

International audienceThe preparation of antibacterial UV powder coatings dedicated to wood based panels is described in the present study. Two experimental methods were investigated: the generation of silver nanoparticles during the polymerization of UV powders and the introduction of a silver modified beidellite within UV powder formulations. While the first method leads to some nanoparticle aggregation, this phenomenon was avoided with the second approach. Antibacterial activity was thus ensured by the presence of beidellite modified with silver cations. XRD, X-ray fluorescence, SEM/EDX and TEM analyses allowed a complete characterization of the Ag-beidellite before its incorporation within UV powder formulations. Real-time-FTIR spectroscopy fitted with an environmental cell was used to monitor the reactivity of UV powder formulations under UV light and temperature control. Resulting coatings were finally characterized by UV spectroscopy, DMA in tension mode, XRD, TEM and antimicrobial analyses. It was shown that the fully cured and homogeneous coatings exhibit high thermomechanical properties and antibacterial activity
