We’re heading to IWF Atlanta 2026.

As North America’s largest woodworking trade show, IWF brings together manufacturers, finishers, distributors, equipment suppliers, and industry leaders from across the country—and we’re looking forward to being part of the conversation.

If you’ll be attending, make plans to stop by Booth BC617 (Hall BC, Level 1) and meet the Novalk USA team along with our partners from Spain.

Whether you’re looking to improve your finishing process, troubleshoot production challenges, evaluate new coating technologies, or explore distribution opportunities, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

At Novalk USA, we believe successful finishing systems are built on more than just coatings. They require technical support, process knowledge, and a commitment to helping customers achieve consistent results in production.

We’ll also be supporting live coating application and curing demonstrations throughout the show with several industry partners, including:

✔ elevatedfinishing / Schubox Drying Rooms – Booth B4319
✔ Cefla Finishing NorthAmerica – Booth B6773

Additional demonstration details will be announced as we get closer to the show.

We’re actively growing our U.S. distributor network and are always interested in speaking with organizations that share our commitment to technical expertise, customer support, and long-term partnerships.

🎟 Complimentary IWF Guest Passes Available

If you’re planning to attend and would like to visit the Novalk USA booth, send us a message. We have a limited number of free guest passes available and would be happy to help.

📍 Booth BC617 | Hall BC | Level 1

🚨 **NOVALK KNOWS | TECH TALK THURSDAY**

CHECK THE HUMIDITY BEFORE YOU SPRAY

**Professional finishers monitor conditions. Successful finishers adapt to them.**

As humidity levels rise across much of the country, finishing conditions can change dramatically from one week to the next.

Whether you're spraying waterborne coatings, pre-cat lacquer, conversion varnish, polyurethane, stains, or sealers, environmental conditions play a bigger role than many finishers realize.

🎯 Finishing Shop Pro Tip

Before you start spraying, take 30 seconds to check:

🌡️ Temperature

💧 Relative Humidity

📱 Local Humidity Forecast

That simple habit can save hours of troubleshooting later.

⚠️ High Humidity Can Contribute To:

☁️ Blushing or whitening

⏳ Slower dry times

🔒 Solvent entrapment

🪵 Poor sanding characteristics

🎨 Appearance inconsistencies

✅ When Humidity Is Elevated:

✔️ Consider a slower solvent package or retarder where appropriate

✔️ Increase flash times

✔️ Improve airflow and ventilation

✔️ Review catalyst requirements for applicable 2K systems

💰 The Cheapest Tool In Your Finishing Department

A $10 magnetic hygrometer may be one of the best investments you can make.

Mount one on every spray booth and monitor:

🌡️ Temperature

💧 Relative Humidity

Small investment. Big payoff.

🌎 Remember:

**Humidity affects evaporation.**

**Evaporation affects finish quality.**

The environment is part of your finishing system.

**Know the conditions. Plan accordingly. Spray smarter.**

🧠 NOVALK KNOWS | TECH TALK THURSDAY

⚠️ The Hidden Dangers of Over-Reducing Coatings

One of the most common habits in finishing shops is adding extra reducer because:
➡️ “It sprays nicer”
➡️ “It flows better”
➡️ “It lays down smoother”

But over-reducing coatings can quietly create a LONG list of problems downstream.

⚠️ Possible Issues From Excessive Reduction:
• Lower film build
• Reduced hiding power
• Sheen inconsistency
• Increased shrink-back
• Slower cure times
• Weaker durability
• Adhesion problems
• More moisture sensitivity
• Poor edge coverage

In many cases, the finish may LOOK good initially…
but performance suffers later.

This becomes especially critical with:
✔️ Pigmented systems
✔️ Low sheen finishes
✔️ Waterborne coatings
✔️ Fast production environments
✔️ High-build systems

💡 Remember:
A coating is engineered to perform within a certain viscosity and solids range.

Once you move too far outside those targets, you’re no longer evaluating the product as designed.

Yes — proper reduction absolutely matters.

But MORE reduction does not automatically equal BETTER performance.

The goal is controlled application and repeatable process conditions — not simply making the coating “feel easier” to spray.

Consistency wins.

🔵 NOVALK KNOWS | TUESDAY PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT 🔵

NFH15910B PRE-CATALYZED WHITE PRIMER

The wood coatings industry is currently experiencing significant raw material feedstock constraints surrounding nitrocellulose resins commonly used in many domestic pre-catalyzed coating systems.

As supply challenges continue to impact portions of the market, now may be a better time than ever to explore premium European coating technology. 🇪🇸

Our NFH15910B Pre-Catalyzed White Primer has been extremely well received thanks to its combination of:

✔ Exceptional sanding
✔ High build & coverage
✔ Fast dry times
✔ Great vertical hang
✔ Smooth sprayability
✔ Excellent hardness & durability
✔ Reduced yellowing tendencies
✔ Outstanding MDF performance

Unlike many commodity-style pre-cats, our formulation approach places a much heavier emphasis on advanced melamine resin technology for improved long-term performance and film durability.

💡 Great for:
• Kitchen & bath cabinetry
• MDF components
• Residential & commercial furniture
• Pigmented finishing systems
• High-production environments

✅ High solids
✅ KCMA performance
✅ NovoTint compatible
✅ Professional-grade performance

When consistency, performance, and reliability matter — formulation quality matters.

Sometimes the best way to remember what our customers do every day is to jump into a project yourself.

A simple dining table refinishing project this weekend quickly turned into a garage full of dust, a pile of SurfPrep abrasives, and a fresh appreciation for the work that goes into getting a great finish.

The cabinet makers, finishers, refinishers, and woodworkers we work with all the time make it look easy on social media. But the truth is, getting those clean, consistent results takes a lot of skill, patience, experience, and hard work.

We’re grateful for the trust our customers put in Novalk USA products and thankful for awesome partners like surfprepsanding who help make projects like this happen.

To everyone sanding, spraying, finishing, and delivering quality work every day—thank you. We appreciate everything you do, and we’re proud to be a small part of your success.
