Synergistic Effect of Addition of Fillers on Properties of Interior Waterborne UV-Curing Wood Coatings

A waterborne ultraviolet (UV)-curing coating was prepared on the surface of wood materials with modification of talcum powder and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). When the waterborne UV-curing coatings on the surface of wood materials (WUVCW) was radiated for 1 min by UV (λ = 365 nm) and dried at 40 °C for 10 min, it showed good hardness, adhesion, and impact strength, with controlling the talcum content of 2.0% and CaCO3content of 1.0%, respectively. When the content of talcum powder was higher than 2%, the mechanical properties and gloss of the WUVCW decreased, and when the talcum powder of WUVCW increase to more than 5%, a matte surface appeared after curing. When CaCO3and talcum powder were present at the same time, the mechanical properties of WUVCW were better than those of only CaCO3or talcum powder.Keywords:modification;interior waterborne coating;UV;mechanical properties;gloss
