Cary, NC, August 20 -- Lord Corporation, a global leader in coatings technology for the surfaces, panels and flooring industries, has acquired L/T Technologies LLC, a leading manufacturer of acrylic ultraviolet (UV) and waterborne coatings for wood products.
A joint venture between Lord Corporation and Treffert GmbH and Co. KG, L/T Technologies specializes in the development, manufacture and distribution of waterborne and acrylic UV-curable wood coatings for printed composite boards (PB, HDF, HB), hardwood flooring, linear profiles and door skins, as well as furniture foils.
Located in Cary, N.C. near Lord Corporation's world headquarters, L/T Technologies will continue to operate from its current office (118 MacKenan Drive, Suite 200). Further, L/T will remain the exclusive licensee representing North, Central and South America for the Treffert Group and their wood finishing technology. As such, L/T retains exclusive rights not only to existing technology, but also any new developments or advancements.
L/T Technologies' High Performance Coatings (HPC) are typically applied as multi-layer systems by roller coating technology and cured by UV energy. The coatings are either micro-and/or nano-particle modified acrylated resins, which yield extreme hardness resulting in high mechanical resistance to scratch, impact and abrasion.
