The UV board industry is experiencing a wave of quality upgrade driven by both technological iteration and policy impetus
Technological breakthroughs have become the core driving force for the development of the industry. The antibacterial, formaldehyde-removing and yellowing resistant UV super crystal coating board developed by enterprises such as Huizhou Mocai Decorative Materials Co., Ltd. has achieved a dual improvement in surface hardness and environmental protection performance through the "three-layer white paint coating + mercury lamp and grain lamp dual light source curing" process. This technology uses a high-gloss white topcoat with a application rate of 100-120g /m² that is resistant to yellowing. Tests have shown that it can kill over 99% of bacteria and has a continuous formaldehyde-removing function. It solves the pain points of traditional products such as easy yellowing and insufficient hygiene performance. It is particularly suitable for places with high cleanliness requirements such as hospitals and schools.
Environmental protection policies accelerate the reshuffling of the industry. In July 2025, the European Union issued Regulation (EU) 2025/843, imposing strict limit control on the substance UV-328. The allowable concentration was reduced to 0.01% from August 2025 and further tightened to 0.0001% in 2029. This policy has forced export-oriented enterprises to upgrade their formulas, and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) UV curing technology has become a key focus of industry research and development. Domestically, the improvement of the green building certification system has driven a sharp increase in the demand for formaldehyde-free UV Boards. 78% of builders have already prioritized environmentally friendly materials.
The market application scenarios are constantly expanding. In the business sector, retail stores use UV boards to make display stands. With their high gloss and scratch resistance, they enhance the product display effect. Data shows that the average sales of such stores have increased by 15%. In the field of smart home, UV boards, due to their excellent material compatibility, have become ideal carriers for embedding smart components such as touch modules and wireless charging. In medical Settings, institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic have used antibacterial UV boards to decorate their walls, reducing cleaning costs by 30% and confirming their practical value in hygiene protection.
The direction of technological upgrading in the industry is becoming increasingly clear. In addition to the traditional hardness and weather resistance indicators, functional UV boards with self-cleaning, anti-yellowing and intelligent response features have become a research hotspot. Experts predict that with the advancement of materials science, UV boards will achieve a trinity development of "decorative + functional + intelligent". Driven by both policy regulations and market demands, the industry will move towards a more environmentally friendly and efficient high-quality development path.
