Evaluation of Alternative Chemical Strippers on Wood Furniture Coatings
نویسنده
چکیده
u: Alternative chemical strippers have been evaluated to determine the potential effects on air emissions resulting from solvent changes in the fumiture repair and refinishing industry. Alternative chemical strippers used to remove both traditional and emerging low-VOC (volatile organic compound) wood coatings were evaluated. Phase 1 was a laboratory evaluation of five chemical stripper combinations on three types of coatings. Phase 2 was the assessment of the best perfoxming altemative shipper from the”oratory evaluation in a furniture repair and refinishing facility. This paper discusses both phases of research. Screening and assessment results will be presented at this conference.

Performance Characterization of Coatings on Treated-wood
Coating performance is greatly influenced by the properties of the wood substrate. This study was focused on evaluating the performance of coatings on both preservative- and thermally-treated wood. A number of commercially formulated semi-transparent stains Alkyd, Alkyd-Acrylic and PU were applied on four different types of preservative treated and heat-treated wood and their performances were ...

Two sets of opaque water-based acrylic coatings were prepared with IR-reflective pigments and conventional pigments. The objective of this work was to determine the efficiency of IR-reflective pigments in limiting the heat buildup of opaque coating formulations. Experiments performed on PVC substrates revealed that IR-reflective pigments significantly decreased the temperature increase above ro...

1 No portion of the emission reduction was achieved through reformulating any coatings with acetone. Some stains and basecoats have been reformulated with acetone as the primary solvent; however Ethan Allen has included acetone emissions in the 257 tons per year VOC figure. Acetone was removed from the U.S. EPA’s VOC list on June 16, 1995 and is not a listed HAP, but it remains as a listed HAC ...
متن کاملThe evaluation of microfungal contamination of dust created during woodworking in furniture factories.
BACKGROUND Microscopic fungi are the biological agent of occupational risk in the woodworking environment. Microbiological and chemical methods were used for determination of their concentration and species composition in dust. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dust was sampled in 3 factories producing furniture using different materials. The 1st factory (A) processes solid wood, the 2nd (B) - chipboards ...
