Bayer MaterialScience Brochure Highlights Coatings Raw Materials That Bring Out the Best in Wood Products and Furniture
PITTSBURGH, March 22, 2007 - Talk to any cabinet, furniture or wood flooring manufacturer and craftsman and they will tell you the importance of protective coatings to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of their wood creations. Bayer MaterialScience LLC (BMS) couldn't agree more, and to prove it, the company has developed a new brochure that showcases its wood and furniture coatings raw materials that will help make any wood product resemble a work of art.
This new brochure, Raw Materials for Wood and Furniture Coatings, offers an overview of the company's nine wood and furniture coatings raw materials technologies. It provides excellent detail about the breadth of technical experience and innovation that BMS brings to its wood and furniture coatings raw materials. The brochure also summarizes each specific product and important technical properties associated with each.
The new brochure describes Bayer's Bayhydrol®, Bayhydur®, Desmodur®, Demophen®, Roskydal® and Desmolux® product lines. While the individual properties vary from product to product, most polyurethane wood coatings offer numerous high-performance benefits. These include:
o A long-lasting surface finish
o Resistance to harsh elements such as UV light damage, general wear-and-tear,
and extreme temperature variations that can occur during shipping and storing
o Fast drying
o Excellent sanding properties
o Excellent wood penetration
o Superior chemical resistance properties<
"At Bayer MaterialScience, we provide the technology to bridge the gap between our customers' ideas and reality," said Aaron Lockhart, business development manager, Wood Coatings at Bayer. "Our products for wood coatings offer decorative and functional solutions for traditional and modern coatings systems."
