Abstract
The coating of the particleboard often challenges researchers in the wood industry, and only a small portion of the literature focuses on particleboard coating, practically and academically. This study focuses on the properties of pigmented coatings that mix acrylic-styrene latex with alkyd latex on the particleboards made from castor stalk. By testing abrasion resistance, UV resistance, hardness, adhesion, pull-off, test water, and chemical resistance, the performance of the blends in pigmented coatings was assessed. The performance of the surface qualities of coated caster particleboard was improved due to pigmented coatings. Coating, moreover, significantly enhances gloss and abrasion resistance further
