Abstract

Herein, bamboo-laminated lumber for furniture was coated with waterborne acrylic paint. The effects of different painting techniques and quantities on the drying rate, smoothness, hardness, adhesion and wear resistance of the paint film were investigated. Then, the thermal properties of the paint were analysed using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimeter to examine the film-forming mechanism. The results showed that painting technique had no effect on the drying time, flatness, hardness and adhesion of the paint film, but it influenced the wear resistance. Herein, the films’ flatness showed little variation with different painting methods (one-layer primer one-layer topcoat, one-layer primer two-layer topcoat, two-layer primer one-layer topcoat and two-layer primer two-layer topcoat). The drying time for primer surfaces/solids was 8min/8.5 min, while it was 6.5/7 min for topcoats. The paint films exhibited grade B hardness and grade 0 adhesion and the better wear resistance when using one-layer primer one-layer topcoat at 51.24 mg·100 r−1. The amount of paint applied significantly affected the drying time and flatness of the paint film. As the quantity increased, the drying time of the paint’s surfaces and solids also increased, whereas the film’s flatness initially increased before decreasing. The film’s optimal adhesion, hardness and wear resistance values were grade 0, grade B and 51.24 mg·100 r−1, respectively, when 80 g/m2 of paint was applied. Thermal analysis of the primer and topcoat showed that water decomposition occurred at 100℃ and thermal decomposition of organic components occurred at 350℃. The primer and topcoat exhibited the same weight loss, but primer’s thermal loss rate was higher than that of topcoat. Consequently, the topcoat displayed better thermal stability than the primer.
