With many new advances in wood coating technology, the demand and growth of low VOC coatings are sure to create many new growth possibilities. Other coatings such as stain and finish also have similar benefits that wood coatings do. Many chemicals are used in the process of creating wood coatings.

One of the most common and popular types of chemical coatings is polyurethane foam.
