Organized Technical Specification — UV‑Cured Prefinished Hardwood (Birch) Plywood
Compiled from provided supplier technical text, formatted for QC report / quotation / product data sheet.
Product Overview
UV plywood is prefinished hardwood plywood panel with a clear, durable UV‑cured top‑coating. The finish enhances surface toughness and provides resistance against scrapes, chips, and solvent wipe‑down exposure.
UV coating is a liquid compound applied wet onto the wood surface and instant‑cured by ultraviolet light; multiple chemistries/formulations are available for wood coating systems. - UV finish delivers reduced VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. - Coating can be applied to one side or both sides of plywood panels. - Plywood substrate manufactured with TSCA‑certified glues for US‑market compliance.
Coating Technical Properties
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Dry finish thickness | 1.0 – 1.5 mil |
| Percentage of solids applied | 100 % solids |
| VOC Emissions | None |
| Resistance‑ Water / Solvent | No adverse effect |
| Acetone wipe‑down resistant | Yes |
| Standard compliance | Exceeds AWI / NKB / ANSI requirements |
| Durability | Excellent |

Gloss / Sheen Levels (light reflection percentage, specify gloss at time of order)
Naming convention example: UV30, UV40, UV50 corresponds to target reflection performance.
| Sheen Grade | Reflection % | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra Low | 5‑20 % reflection | Custom request |
| Low | 20‑30 % reflection | Example: UV30 |
| Satin | 30‑40 % reflection | Factory standard finish = 40 sheen (satin appearance, UV40) |
| Medium | 50‑60 % reflection | Example: UV50; higher sheen available upon special request |
| High | 75+ % reflection | Special‑order only |
