AkzoNobel and Chemcraft invites woodworking professionals, distributors and OEMs to visit their booth to learn about the latest advances in wood coatings, finishes, equipment and technology from industry experts.
Visitors to the biennial event, organized by the Association of Woodworking and Furnishings Suppliers, will have excellent opportunities to get their tech questions answered at the booth, says Ron Cooper, Segment Manager Distribution, Finishes Americas. “Recent trade shows have been heavily attended and our team is looking forward to continuing conversations that were started earlier this year.”
Visitors to the show can learn about innovative products from AkzoNobel, including the new PurStock Seriesa multi-layered approach to wood coating solutions.
“PurStock Series is a KCMA-approved finishing system specifically developed to reduce costs, increase throughput capability and ensure pain-free stock component production. Combining quality and performance longevity, the series comprises primer, enamel, clear and catalyst components and is ideal for OEM cabinet manufacturers looking to increase productivity and reduce operating costs,” the company said.
AkzoNobel will also display ArmorLux UV Surfacer, a three-step system for transforming normal wood finishing grades into a premium finish grade of lumber, and ArmorLux Exterior Waterborne Topcoat, a high-performance translucent coating for wooden windows, doors, sidings, and claddings.
