DVUV, LLC Founded April 2005 Proprietary powder coat and UV-cure finishing

process for wood and MDF Commitment to sustainable products and

processes Complete turnkey production – from drawing

to finished parts Nearly 5 decades experience in wood finishing Michael Knoblauch, founder and president,

opened 1st UV powder line for wood in North America in 2000

15,000 s.f. facility in Cleveland, Ohio

The Green AlternativeGreen finish formulation:

No VOCs (volatile organic compounds) No HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) No hydrocarbon waste

Environmentally sustainable process: UV curing is extremely energy efficient

Fast, single-step process 20 minutes from raw MDF to finished parts

Smaller manufacturing footprint ¼ - ⅓ the size required for other finishing

processesReduced energy consumption

40-60% energy savings compared to other finishes Any residual powder is recycled in plastics manufacturing zero waste stream

Advantages of UV-Cured PowderGreen process and materials

Solvent-free formulations no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and no hydrocarbon waste

Fast, efficient UV-curing process has minimal energy requirement

Residual powder can be repurposed as polymer for plastics

manufacturing

Milling before finishing improves material utilization and reduces waste

Complete consistent coverage on all exposed surfaces

Automated powder guns deliver accurate, uniform powder distribution for maximum design innovation, finish quality and ease of production

Seamless 360˚ finish

Complex shapes and built-up forms

Curvilinear cuts and irregular contours

Bullnose, radiused and waterfall edges

Cut-outs and through holes

No wrapping, gluing or edgebanding required

Advantages of UV-Cured Powder – continued

Superior wear characteristicsUV light initiates instant cure through photo-

polymerization of powder cross-linked polymer bond surface

No cracking at 35” – NEMA ball-drop test

3000 cycles wear-thru resistance – ASTM abrasion test

Retains like-new appearance in demanding, high-traffic

environments

Withstands frequent cleanings and maintains original

color, texture and gloss

100% environmentally-responsible: inputs, process & end-product

Innovative design possibilities

Advanced surface performance

2007 DVUV, LLC

Cross-Linked UV Curing Process Separates gel/flow

stage from cure Ensures complete cure

for extended finish life Expands potential

gloss range Enables smoother

textures Eliminates cracking

Creates cross-linked and bonded molecular finish Produces superior

surface that resists damage and maintains ideal appearance

UV Cure v. Thermal Cure

UV process:1 minute melt followed by 2-5 second cureSurface temperature of 195-250˚ F

Thermal process:7-30 minute melt and cure – simultaneouslySurface temperature of 250-450˚ F

UV Advantages: Speed – 10X+ faster Lower potential defect rate Reduced substrate heat exposure
