For Composites that Last and Last

Now you can essentially “paint” your composites in the factory with a thoroughly tested, easy-to-clean coating that resists fading, staining, scratching, and heat retention and can be repainted or stained by the homeowner.  This revolutionary new technology addresses two major issues – the reasons composite coatings have not worked in the past.

  • Permanent adhesion to the composite
  • A coating designed specifically for outdoor exposure

How It Works

The process is simple.

  • A reactive gas treatment, known as fluoro-oxidation, modifies the surface of the composite to allow permanent adhesion of a coating.
  • A UV curable coating is then applied using a vacuum coater and cured using UV lamps. 

Unlike latex coatings which require extensive time, energy, and floor space to dry and cure, our UV coatings completely dry and cure in seconds, without blocking for immediately handling and stacking.  Taking up a small footprint, this robust-low-cost operation can be easily added to your existing production line or performed off-site. 

Watch the video to see this simple process in action.  Or get complete details by reading the article New Technology for Enhancing Wood Plastic Composites

Environmentally Friendly and Completely Safe

Even the greatest technology may not be embraced if it’s harmful to the environment or dangerous to use.  Rest assured.  The process is extremely simple, green, and completely safe:

  • Very small quantities (0.2) grams of reactive gas are used
  • All process gases are neutralized with absolutely no chemical emissions
  • Performance at less than atmospheric pressure eliminates possibility of leaks
  • No accident or gas release in the history of this type of technology application
  • UV curable coatings are 100% paint solids
  • Zero volatile organic content (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

Eliminate Costly Pigments and Additives

Our UV curable coating reduces the need for costly additives and associated formulation expenses.  Minimize additive levels and concentrate them where it matters most – on the surface.


Reduce Time to Order Fulfillment

Now you have the option to manufacture one formulation year-round that can be custom coated to meet sales orders.  Reduce SKU inventory by finishing on demand at speeds upwards of 200 fpm, and make use of all in-plant scrap since “color management” is shifted downstream of extrusion.

Offer Many More Colors

There is no limit to the number or types of colors you can offer.  Expand your current selection and consider offering custom colors – a real plus to designers.

Streamline Production

This robust, low-cost operation takes up a small footprint while enabling high-volume production.  Instant curing allows for immediate handing/stacking for inventory or packing for shipment.
