Classification of finishing materials
Furniture finishing industry keep developing to follow the developments in furniture industry. The furniture finishing has wide range of styles, color and looked to follow the style and the development of the furniture models and styles. This development of course has to be followed by the finishing material industry. There are many types of finishing material are developed to be used in the process of finishing furniture.
In this era most of finishing process is done with the modern finishing material that are known as coating or paint. The coating as modern finishing material provide some advantages such as: ease application, flexibility, high speed and consistency process with high quality result. Some finishing process is still done by using traditional finishing material such: wax, shellac, teer, or oil. But the demands of the quality and speed has make those material are become less in using. Coating as finishing materials have also been developing rapidly to meet the demand needs of the modern finishing create some new material. There some are special material created to make special effects to produce a certain look such as: wax lacquer (coating to produce a smooth surface such as wax), crackle lacquer (paint finishing for crackle finish), veiling lacquer (to make effects such as a spider web), texture paint (to make texture surface).
Finishing materials can divided and group in different way, according to the their function or their types. Based on their function, the finishing materials can be grouped into:
Meanwhile, according to the type finishing materials can be grouped into:
1.Traditional finishing materials:
2. Modern finishing materials:

Meanwhile, according to the type finishing materials can be grouped into:
1.Traditional finishing materials:
- Wax
- Oil
- Varnish
- Shellac
2. Modern finishing materials:
- Nitrocellulose
- Polyurethane
- Acid curing
- Water based coating
- UV coating
- Alkyd
- Polyester
