When working on interior surfaces, you may come across PU (Polyurethane) coating—a popular choice for its premium finish and durability. But is it necessary to wear a mask on-site? Absolutely, especially during the application of PU. Let’s dive into the details of PU coating and its applications.
What is PU Coating?
PU (Polyurethane) is a type of surface coating commonly used on smooth materials like MDF and HDHMR boards. It provides a sleek, elegant finish and comes in both matte and gloss options.
However, plywood and block boards have rough surfaces, making them less suitable for PU applications.
Why Choose PU Coating?
- Premium Look:
- PU coatings deliver a luxurious, smooth surface that enhances the overall aesthetics of furniture and cabinetry.
- Finish Options:
- Matte Finish: Ideal for wardrobes or cabinets, offering a premium and understated elegance.
- Gloss Finish: Perfect for kitchen cabinets, providing a reflective and easy-to-maintain surface.
- Versatility:
- PU works well for both residential and commercial spaces, offering durability and a long-lasting finish.
Why is Wearing a Mask Necessary?
During PU application, fumes can be harmful if inhaled. Wearing a mask:
- Protects against chemical exposure.
- Ensures safety for both the applicator and those nearby.
