Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to provide a tool for both a furniture manufacturer and paint and varnish manufacturer,
when trying to define the product needed by the furniture manufacturer and/or offered by the paint and varnish
manufacturer.
This guide is a working document to be completed jointly by a furniture manufacturer and his or her supplier and
may be used in the following two ways:
When used by a furniture manufacturer:
The furniture manufacturer can define the coating system he or she needs, by defining what kind of furniture he or
she makes, kind of surface to finish, etc. This is achieved by putting a cross in the table in clause 6 of this guide:
details of intended use and function, i.e. he or she needs a paint to finish a working surface in the domestic
furniture he or she manufactures.
Then, the manufacturer can define the properties of the coating system he or she needs (e.g. resistance to cold
liquids). Of course, he or she can be helped by the paint manufacturer in this definition. When defining the
properties and their values, European Standards should be used, but if they do not exist, another reference
document can be used (i.e. International or National standards, etc).
The surface to be coated has to be defined as in clause 4.5, as well as the appearance needed (see 4.6).
The application system has to be defined (see 4.3) and the drying and curing process (see 4.4) that the furniture
manufacturer intends to use for each of the coats.
For this information, the paint and varnish manufacturer can recommend to the furniture manufacturer another
application method, etc.
With all this data, the paint and varnish manufacturer is able to provide the name of his or her products (for each
coat of the coating system: primer, stain, undercoat, filler, and topcoat, if all are needed) and their wet properties.
Those are the products that the paint and varnish manufacturer is offering to the furniture manufacture to satisfy
what he or she needs.
When used by a paint and varnish manufacturer:
A paint and varnish manufacturer can offer a product to a furniture manufacturer by fulfilling this guide from the
beginning:
For Table 1, the paint and varnish manufacturer will start by writing the name and characteristics of their products
and then will continue with their performances and a description of the application systems, and so on, to end at the
last point.
This is useful information provided by a paint and varnish manufacturer to a furniture manufacturer: those products,
when combined and applied on a surface as defined, make a coating system with those properties, suitable for this
kind of furniture and this kind of surface, etc.
