The SuperBark project was introduced during the 13th Wood Coatings Congress 2024, held between 22-23rd October 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The Wood Coatings Congress is a leading international conference focused on advancing coatings and surface treatments for wood. The conference targets professionals in the wood coatings industry including coating manufacturers, raw material suppliers, applicators, and finishers. SuperBark was presented by researcher Veronika Zeller from Holzforschung Austria (HFA). The presentation focused on the results of small-scale coatings trials on applications including transportation plywood, and the impact of cellulose nanofibrils on the coatings’ mechanical properties.
