Belt Spray – Roll Coater

The process of continuously pressing wood is widely used, whether you’re using PMDI or UF/Phenolic binder.

For PMDI binder usage, getting the release and production efficiency right is really important.

If you’re using a UF binder, making sure the belt is really clean is essential to get a high-quality board surface.

In these situations, it’s crucial to wet the belt properly so that the release agent covers the surface appropriately. Chem-Trend collaborates closely with major press and spray equipment manufacturers to offer:

Release agents that work exceptionally well with your spraying equipment
Less downtime because your spraying equipment needs less maintenance
Solutions designed for your specific process and type of wood
Optimal spraying patterns

Our support extends to various materials, including binders like MDI, MUF, PF, and UF, and wood types such as Eucalyptus and Pinus, making sure your wood-pressing operations run smoothly and efficiently.

Internal Release Agents

Creating particle board demands a special strategy to achieve outstanding and dependable outcomes. By incorporating internal release agents directly into the PMDI binder, Chem-Trend’s innovation unlocks new avenues for enhanced productivity and potential.

This approach offers several benefits:

Streamlined process: Eliminating the need to apply a release agent on the mat or the press.
Unaltered board properties: Ensuring the highest quality while preserving the board’s characteristics.
Enhanced consistency: Generating more reliable and uniform results.

Our support encompasses a variety of processes, including Continuous Press, MDF, MDP Particle Board, OSB, Daylight Press, and Door Skin, ensuring that our solution is versatile and applicable to multiple scenarios.

Furthermore, we extend our expertise to various materials, including binders like MDI and pMDI, as well as wood types such as Eucalyptus and Pinus. This comprehensive support ensures that your particle board production enjoys seamless operations and optimal results.

Mat Sprays & Caul Spray

Creating effective mat spray and caul spray solutions demands precise and advanced properties, including non-diving behavior and effortless dispensing. Whether you’re working with MDF UF or implementing a daylight process in combination with PMDI, the intricacies and diverse requirements requires a knowledgeable and skilled collaborator.

Chem-Trend collaborates closely with customers to ensure an optimal solution, whether you’re manufacturing OSD (Oriented Strand Board), MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), or particle board.

Our solutions provide you with:

Remarkable sprayability
Versatility across various wood types
Adjustability for diverse press capacities and sizes
Equipment for precise dilution and monitoring

We support a range of processes including Daylight Press, MDF, MDP Particle Board, and OSB. Additionally, we cater to a variety of materials such as Binders (MDI, MUF, PF, UF), as well as wood species such as Eucalyptus and Pinus.

Platten Coating

When dealing with daylight press operations, the manufacturing approach plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success of manufacturing endeavors.

Chem-Trend introduces specialized semi-permanent release systems in liquid form. These formulations are engineered to establish connections with humidity or heat, fostering a robust bond with the mold’s surface. This results in a durable, enduring polymeric film that exhibits resistance to wear, chemicals, and high temperatures.

What distinguishes this semi-permanent solution is its propensity for robust cross-linking, resulting in reduced maintenance cycles for the press plattens. This, in turn, yields distinct advantages:

Enhancement of production efficiency
Elevation of the overall quality of produced boards
Cultivation of a sense of predictability and uniformity

Moreover, we support a range of processes including Daylight Press, Door Skin, MDF, MDP Particle Board, and OSB. Additionally, our solutions cater to a variety of materials such as Binders (MDI, MUF, PF, UF), as well as Wood types like Eucalyptus and Pinus.
