1. Solvent-Based Wood Paint
Features:
Pros: Strong adhesion, high hardness, excellent wear and corrosion resistance; ideal for demanding applications (e.g., flooring, furniture).
Common Types: Polyester (PE) finish, nitrocellulose (NC) lacquer, alkyd resin finishes(PU).
2. Water-Based Wood Paint
Features:
Composition: Water as the primary thinner, solvent-free.
Pros: Eco-friendly, non-toxic, low odor, easy cleanup (water-soluble).
Cons: Lower hardness (prone to scratches), moderate heat resistance, higher cost.
Applications: Children’s furniture, indoor decor with high environmental standards.
3. Nitrocellulose Wood Paint/Lacquer (NC Lacquer)
Features:
Composition: Primarily nitrocellulose, requiring solvent dilution.
Pros: Extremely fast drying (10–30 minutes), easy repairs (layered application), high transparency.
Applications: Crafts, short-term wooden products.
4. Polyurethane Wood Paint (PU Finish)
Features:
Composition: A two-component system (base + hardener) that chemically cures.
Pros: Superior abrasion resistance, high hardness, chemical resistance, glossy finishes.
Cons: Complex application (mixing ratios required), moderate eco-friendliness.
Common Types: Matte, semi-matte, glossy finishes; widely used for furniture and flooring.
5. UV-Cured Wood Paint
Features:
Composition: Contains photoinitiators, cured by UV light exposure.
Pros: Eco-friendly (no VOCs), extremely high hardness, instant curing, scratch-resistant.
Applications: Requires specialized equipment (UV lamps), high cost.
Industrial production (e.g., laminated flooring, panel furniture).
7. Wood Wax Oil
Features:
Composition: Blend of natural plant oils (e.g., linseed oil) and wax.
Pros: Non-toxic, retains wood’s natural texture, breathable, moisture-resistant.
Cons: No protective film (penetrates wood), requires regular maintenance, poor heat resistance.
Applications: Solid wood furniture, children’s toys, natural-texture products.
