Objective The aim of this project is to develop new types of aqueous base varnishes and shellacs specifically designed for interior woods in the furnishing construction industries and do it yourself works.Industrials trials experience with waterborne varnishes and machinery from the project has been really positive. They have been observed interesting results at the end of the project. Many new waterborne formulations of coatings have been presented by the three manufacturers involved in the project. They offer good chemical characteristics and the application problems have been excelled. The aspect offered by the products is aesthetically pleasant. Besides, raw materials have successfully performed and new materials offer better characteristics and qualities. The project has helped to know better the characteristics of the products and the substrates.These products will offer same properties as conventional solvent-base have today, but achieving the hygiene, cost, safety and environmental advantages of using water as base. In order to achieve these goals, new ultraviolet (UV) drying systems must be developed. A thorough industrial testing, including the starting up of a pilot plan, is also to be made so that the most favourable final products are reached.
