Abstract
Description
BE2025 / 5130 2 people used. Even today, wooden furniture, floors, and household items are still very popular. Wood is extremely versatile and stable and at the same time very easy to work with, but it is also sensitive to external influences such as dirt accumulation, wear, humidity, temperature fluctuations, or microorganisms. For example, solid hardwood floors and engineered wood floors have long been particularly popular in homes because they are associated with warmth, tradition, and durability. However, hardwood floors are particularly susceptible to damage from heavy foot traffic, wear, and moisture. Therefore, wood coating compounds have been applied to hardwood floors for years to protect the wood against deterioration, scratches, stains, discoloration, moisture, and wear from foot traffic, and at the same time, if desired, to bring out the appearance of the hardwood floor optimally. Today there are numerous various wood coating compositions for solid hardwood floors and engineered wood floors, where each of those wood coating compositions a orexhibit additional properties such as dirt repellency, water repellency, wear resistance, scratch resistance, matting effect, anti-blocking effects and anti-slip properties. In addition, every wood coating must meet individual requirements depending on the use of the wood product. This constantly presents developers of wood coatings with new challenges. At this moment, a wide range of wood coating compositions are available on the market under various names, including varnish, lacquer, wood oil, hardwax oil, stain, Danish oil, lacquer paint, wood finish, etc. In general, these wood coating compositions are usually divided into three different types based on the presence of or the type of solvent used for the formulation of the said wood coating compositions. In this context, a distinction can be made between i) water-based wood coating compositions, ii) organic solvent-based wood coating compositions, and iii) high-solids wood coating compositions which are essentially freeare free of volatile components, i.e.: those latter wood coating compositions are essentially free of water and one or more organic solvents. 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 3 Water-based wood coating compositions are aqueous emulsions or aqueous dispersions of one or more of, for example, acrylate polymers, polyurethanes, alkyd resins, drying oils, etc. These water-based wood coating compositions may contain more than 30% by weight of water, and often up to as much as 70% by weight of water. In this respect, reference may be made to the two-component coating composition system disclosed in patent WO2019 / 004922A1, where the said coating composition system contains a second coating composition comprising a water-based dispersion comprising polyurethanes, polyacrylates, and polyurethane-acrylate hybrids. Reference may also be made to the disclosure of the patent. WO2006 / 109432A1, which concerns a curable aqueous two-component composition comprising an aqueous emulsion of a polyurethane alkyd resin. Depending on the chemical formulation,Water-based wood coating compositions are characterized by a wide range15 of different technical properties, in particular technical properties such as appearance, feel, mechanical and / or chemical resistance, etc. However, due to the presence of significant amounts of water, the application of water-based coating compositions to water-sensitive wood types or species can lead to20 unwanted fiber swelling (water thickening or fiber thickening). Fiber swelling, i.e. the raising of wood fibers individually or in bundles when water is applied to wood surfaces, is one of the reasons why some companies are reluctant or less inclined to finish wood products with water-based coatings. After all, wood fiber swelling is a significant problem associated with the use of water-based stains. When a water-based wood coating composition is used to coat wood surfaces, fibers can stand upright or protrude from the wood, giving the paint finish a dull appearance and a rough surface.grants. This is mainly due to the swelling of the wood fibers as a result of water absorption. Consequently, after applying a water-based wood coating composition to a wood surface, additional processing steps such as sanding are often required to obtain a smooth wood surface after coating. Oak, a popular option for solid hardwood floors, is particularly susceptible to fiber swelling when coated with water-based wood coating compositions. Organic solvent-based wood coating compositions contain 5 binding resins, such as alkyd resins. These organic solvent-based wood coating compositions contain at least 10% by weight of one or more organic solvents, and often up to as much as 40% by weight of one or more organic solvents. Since organic solvent-based wood coating compositions contain no water, they do not cause fiber swelling when applied to wood products to coat wood surfaces. Although wood coating compositions basedAlthough organic solvents are still widely used today, they are increasingly coming under pressure due to health, safety, and environmental problems and perspectives associated with the use of significant quantities of organic solvents. After all, the evaporation of organic solvents contributes significantly to the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the physical drying of organic solvent-based coatings. Wood coating compositions with a high solids content are essentially free of volatile compounds, i.e. those wood coating compositions are essentially free of water and one or more organic solvents, which means that they often contain less than 5% by weight and usually less than 0.5% by weight of volatile compounds. The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a source of air pollution in urban environments can be significantly reduced by the use of solvent-free polymerizable resins. Since there are no physicalevaporation of water or organic solvents takes place when they are applied to wood surfaces, the final mechanical properties of the resulting coatings depend solely on the occurrence of chemical crosslinking at room temperature after application. In addition, because no dilution takes place as a result of the presence of 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 5 water or organic solvents, the viscosity of the reactive components of such high-solids wood coating compositions must be sufficiently low to make their application possible. Widely known, and one of the oldest examples of such high-solids wood coating compositions, are naturally occurring unsaturated drying triglyceride oils, such as linseed oil or tung oil, which have been used for coating applications since prehistoric times. Of those unsaturated drying triglyceride- It is known that oils chemically crosslink in the presence of and by reaction with atmospheric oxygen to form a solid coating layer. DryingTriglyceride oils such as linseed oil, tung oil, or poppy seed oil are highly unsaturated and polymerize when exposed to molecular oxygen via a free radical chain reaction mechanism known as autooxidation. Autooxidation proceeds via a free radical chain reaction mechanism that involves the formation of lipid radicals (initiation phase), followed by propagation via their reaction with oxygen to form lipid peroxyl radicals that can extract hydrogen atoms from lipids, thereby regenerating a lipid radical. Ultimately, the process is terminated by radical-radical reactions, resulting in crosslinking. At room temperature, the autooxidation reaction of drying oils often takes place in the presence of one or more added metal-based drying agents or dryers, which increase the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy. The extent of unsaturation in the fatty acid residues of wood compositions based on triglyceride seed oil is therefore of crucial importance for the auto-oxidativedrying or crosslinking process. Although these wood coating compositions based on triglyceride seed oil have been used for centuries to be applied to wood products, particularly as protective coatings or finishes for hardwood floors, due to the advent of modern chemistry, they have largely been replaced as the most commonly used method to protect wood by alkyd resins based on organic solvents because of their better mechanical properties (such as hardness), faster drying or curing, and higher dirt repellency. Since alkyd resins are generally characterized by viscosities that are too high to be applied to wood products using conventional coating methods, such as a polishing machine, a roller, or a brush, significant amounts of one or more organic solvents are required to obtain a workable viscosity. Although wood coating compositions based on organic solvents containing alkyd resins5 are still popular today for coating wood products, withIn the case of hardwood flooring, over the past two decades, a significant shift has taken place away from solvent-based wood coating compositions due to health, safety, and environmental concerns. Some manufacturers have therefore focused on water-based wood coating compositions containing aqueous emulsions or aqueous dispersions of one or more synthetic resins. Although these water-based wood coating compositions can be optimized for good mechanical properties when applied to wood products, the resulting water-based finishes exhibit fiber swelling, as described above, they remain stable for only a short time in an open container and are prone to overlapping, making them more difficult to apply than organic solvent-based wood coating compositions. In recent decades, wood coating compositions based on 20 triglyceride seed oil have regained popularity thanks to their organic (biomass) bases and their sustainable origin, for the above-describedto counteract negative aspects associated with wood coating compositions based on organic solvents and the specific disadvantages and difficulties of water-based wood coating compositions. In particular for coating hardwood floors, two-component wood coating compositions based on triglyceride seed oil have been developed. These two-component wood coating compositions based on triglyceride seed oil remain to this day by far the most popular coating for hardwood floors on the market formulated with drying triglyceride oils as the main component. They consist of a first A-component based on open and drying triglyceride seed oils and a second B-component based on open and aliphatic polyisocyanate, such as trimers of hexamethylene diisocyanate. The mixing of the A- and B- the component before being applied to wood products significantly shortens curing times, resulting in a durable wood coating that can often be applied in a single layer to wood surfaces, particularly hardwoods5floors. Although the combined use of isocyanate-based accelerators in the application of wood coating compositions is still frequently applied today, it is expected that the use of isocyanates will no longer be warranted in the near future due to health, safety, and environmental concerns and the increasing regulatory pressure associated with the use of isocyanates. The difficulties associated with the rate of crosslinking / curing / hardening of wood coating compositions based on triglyceride seed oil, such as the naturally occurring unsaturated drying triglyceride oils linseed oil and tung oil, have been discussed in the literature. In that respect, for example, reference can be made to the publication by Dan Zhang et al. Coatings 2024,14,2., in which that publication describes the effect of acylphosphine oxide photoinitiators on the curing-borne photopolymerization of ultraviolet (UV) curable wax and oil wood coating compositions containing tung oil and beeswax as main components, in the presence ofethyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphinate (TPO-L; CAS84434-11-7) as an acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator. By means of UV irradiation experiments using a UV curing machine and coating quality tests, the effects of adding incremental amounts of TPO-L photoinitiator on properties such as surface drying time (see Figure 3),25 in particular the shortening thereof, of wood samples treated with the ultraviolet (UV) curable wax and oil wood coating compositions were investigated. Regarding the addition of acylphosphine oxide photoinitiators in curable wood coating compositions to shorten their drying time, similar observations have been described for solvent-based alkyd resins as for organic solvent-based wood coating compositions. In this respect, reference can be made to the publication by YeG et al. Progress in Organic 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 8 Coatings2012,73,366–373, in which that publication describes a three-component drying system for photo-assisted oxypolymerization of soybean oil.alkyd resins containing i. a cobalt (Co)-based drying catalyst; ii. a singlet oxygen sensitizer; and iii. bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide (BAPO; CAS162881-26-7) as a cleavable photo-initiating acylphosphine oxide-5 radical generator. Through visible light irradiation experiments, photo-assisted drying of the three-component drying system (and its reaction pathways and kinetics) was investigated, which led to crosslinking of the polymer network. Reference can also be made to the publication by Ryan R. Salata et al. Progress in Organic Coatings 2020, 144, 10 105672, in which that publication describes visible light-curable linseed oil alkyds on a solvent basis that exhibit rapid curing in environmental conditions with the aid of exposure to indoor light. In particular containing the described visible light-curable linseed oil alkyds on a solvent basis i. an oil-alkyd agent from linseed oil; ii.15 a mixture of drying agents based on iron (Fe), zirconium (Zr), and calcium(Ca);iii. an organic solvent mixture of acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to reduce the application viscosity; andiv. bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide (BAPO; CAS162881-26-7) as a cleavable photoinitiating acylphosphine oxide radical generator. The authors conclude that the unsaturated fatty acids of alkyds utilize a natural radical autooxidative drying or crosslinking mechanism that can be enhanced by the addition of photoinitiators that are activated in the visible light range (see Table 7), which yields visible light curable alkyds that exhibit accelerated drying and autooxidation under ambient conditions, thereby stimulating efficient crosslinking, especially compared with traditional with UV-curable acrylate-based coatings that must be exposed to UV irradiation to cure. With ultraviolet (UV) curable water-based wood coating compositions that are aqueous emulsions or aqueous dispersions of acrylate polymers and 30 polyurethane-acrylate hybrids with polymerizable (meth)-Moreover, acrylate functionalities must generally be exposed to UV irradiation to cure and crosslink, making effective manual application difficult when applied to wood products to coat wood surfaces. Therefore, it is expected that there will be strong market demand for environmentally friendly and easy-to-apply wood coating compositions with a high solids content based on triglyceride seed oil that are hardenable or curable by transparent light via photo-assisted oxypolymerization and provide rapid hardness development while simultaneously maintaining at least good film formation properties, i.e., without compromising or hindering film formation, as well as good mechanical hardness properties of the resulting layers applied as coatings when wood products are treated with the wood coating compositions, and which do not require the combined use of one or more isocyanate-based accelerators.In view of all the above, there remains a need for improved15 environmentally friendly and easy-to-apply wood coating compositions with high solids content based on triglyceride oil for the preservation and protection of wood products, whereby the said wood coating compositions with high solids content based on triglyceride oil are hardenable or curable by transparent light via photo-assisted20 oxypolymerization, and the said wood coating compositions with high solids content based on triglyceride oil provide a rapid build-up of hardness and at the same time continue to exhibit at least good properties in terms of film formation, i.e. without film formation being compromised or hindered, as well as good mechanical properties in terms of hardness after the application of the said improved coating compositions to wood products, which leads to the formation of layers of the said improved coating compositions applied as coatings on the said wood products, and if not thecombined use requirements of one or more accelerators on a 30 isocyanate basis. 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 10 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventors have now surprisingly found that it is possible to provide an improved environmentally friendly wood coating composition with a high solids content that meets the above-mentioned requirements. Therefore, a high-solids wood coating composition [hereinafter composition(C)] is now provided which, in proportion to the total weight of the composition(C), comprises: 60.00 to 99.00% by weight [hereinafter wt.-%] of a triglyceride oil composition, where the triglyceride oil composition comprises, preferably in essence, in proportion to the total weight of the triglyceride oil composition, 40.00 to 100.00 wt.-% of at least one first-drying oil chosen from the group consisting of tung oil, calendula seed oil, bitter gourd seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, enoicica oil; and 60.00 to 0.00 wt.-% of at least one second-drying oil chosen from the group whichconsists of linseed oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, poppy seed oil, perilla oil, hemp seed oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, corn oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, walnut oil, chia oil, and camelina oil; 0.01 to 2.00 wt. % of at least one desiccant on a 20 metal basis; 0.50 to 10.00 wt.-% of at least one acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator [hereinafter compound(P1)] chosen from bis(4-methylphenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide; offenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide; 25 α-hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiator [hereinafter compound(P2)] according to Formula(IP2), where compound(P2) is present in an amount, determined by a weight ratio of compound(P2) to compound(P1), in the range of 0.5 to 10.0; 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 11 Formula(IP2) equal to or less than 5.00 wt.-% of at least one radical polymerizable(meth)acrylic-functionalised compound; and 5 where the composition(C) has a total solids content equal tois at or greater than 90.00 wt.-% in relation to the total weight of the composition(C), and where the total solid content of the composition(C) is measured according to the standard ASTMD2369–20. In another respect, the present invention further provides a method for the preparation of the composition(C), as set out in detail above. In another respect, the present invention further provides a method for the treatment of a surface or at least part of a surface of a wood product whereby the said wood product is treated with the composition(C), as set out in detail above. According to another aspect, the present invention further provides a coating layer obtained by means of the method for treating the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood product whereby the said wood product is treated with the 20 composition(C), as set out in detail above. DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the context of the present invention, the term “include” should not 25to be interpreted as restrictive to the means listed below; it does not exclude other components, elements or steps. The term should be interpreted in the sense that it specifies the presence of the mentioned properties, numbers, steps or components as indicated in 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 12, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other properties, numbers, steps or components, or groups thereof. The scope of the expression “a compound comprising components A and B” should therefore not be restricted to compounds consisting solely of components A and B. It means that, as regards the present invention, the only relevant components of the compound are A and B. Accordingly, the terms “comprise” and “contain” include the more restrictive terms “essentially consist of” and “consist of”. The terms "optional" or "possibly", as used here, mean that the event or circumstance described thereafter cannot occur, and that the description includes cases in which the saideventorcircumstanceoccupiescasesin which it does not occur. In particular, in comparison with the traditional ultraviolet (UV) curable wood coatings based on (meth)acrylate which are known to professionals in the field of wood coating compositions and must be exposed to UV irradiation to cure, inventors have now surprisingly found that when in the composition(C) with high solids content of the present invention, as set out in detail above, a certain amount is used of a triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, where the triglyceride oil composition comprises a certain amount of at least one first drying oil, as set out in detail above, where the said first drying oil comprises a certain amount of at least one fatty acid residue with at least three conjugated double bonds, in combination with a certain amount of at least one metal-based drying agent, suchset out in detail above, a certain quantity of at least one acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator, as set out in detail above, and a certain quantity of the α-hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiator according to Formula(IP2), as set out in detail above, the certain quantity30 of the at least one acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator now exhibits a synergistic interaction with the certain quantity of the α- 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 13 hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiator according to Formula(IP2), which leads to an environmentally friendly and easy-to-apply composition(C) with high solids content which is hardenable or curable by transparent light via photo-assisted oxypolymerisation and which now builds up a rapid build-up of hardness exhibits, and at the same time continue to exhibit at least good properties in terms of film formation, i.e. without film formation being compromised or hindered, as well as good mechanical properties in terms of hardness after the said composition(C) has been applied towood products, which leads to the formation of coating layers of the said composition(C) applied to the said wood products, as demonstrated in the experimental section. In combination with a rapid build-up of hardness and good film-forming properties, the inventors have found, in particular surprisingly, that when the high-solids composition(C) of the present invention is applied to wood products, which leads to the formation of coating layers of the said composition(C) applied to the said wood products, a sufficiently high hardness can easily be achieved within a few days after application, or even 24 hours after application, and without further need for or use of one or more isocyanate-based accelerators known to professionals in the field of wood coating compositions for further improvement of the drying properties and kinetics of wood coating compositions (i.e. thereby a shortened drying time or accelerated drying is obtainedpresence of such one or more isocyanate-based accelerators). Moreover, inventors have now surprisingly found that25 when the composition(C) with high solid content of the present invention, as set out in detail above, makes use of the synergistic interaction described above between the specified amount of the at least α-acetylphosphine oxide photo-initiator, as set out in detail above, and the specified amount of the α-hydroxyalkylphenone photo-30 initiator according to Formula (IP2), as set out in detail above, that use yields significant technical advantages, even when the composition(C) 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 14 is applied to wood products in suboptimal conditions for auto-oxidation drying, such as, for example, at lower temperatures, at higher relative humidity, and / or when the composition(C) additional and contains a large quantity of at least one pigment. The inventors have now surprisingly found that the composition(C) with high 5the solid content of the present invention offers a solution to those difficulties and ensures improved drying performance in diverse conditions. In the context of the present invention, the term “triglyceride oil composition” refers to a liquid unsaturated triglyceride-10 fatty acid oil product of plant origin, which will be crosslinked and hardened / solidified in an oxidative manner by reaction with atmospheric oxygen. In particular, the term “triglyceride oil composition” refers to the combination of all triglycerides, diglycerides, and monoglycerides present in the composition(C) of the present invention. The triglyceride oil composition which forms part of the composition(C), as set out in detail above, may comprise monoglycerides and / or diglycerides, but these, if present, will generally be present in significantly lower amounts or smaller numbers than the triglycerides. Although the triglyceride oil composition essentially consists of glycerides, i.e. the combination oftriglycerides, diglycerides, and monoglycerides, the triglyceride oil composition may also include other constituents, such as free fatty acids, phospholipids, unsaponifiable substances and glycerin. The terms triglycerides, diglycerides, and monoglycerides are terms known among professionals. In the context of the present invention, the terms “triglycerides”, “diglycerides”, and “monoglycerides” respectively stand for fatty acid esters of glycerol (i.e. 1,2,3-propanetriol) in which three, two or one hydroxyl group(s) of glycerol are esterified with three, two or one fatty acids, while the remaining hydroxyl groups, if present, remain unsubstituted. In other words, the terms “triglycerides”, “diglycerides”, and “monoglycerides” respectively represent fatty acid esters of glycerol (i.e. 1,2,3-propanetriol) in which three, two, or one hydroxyl group(s) of glycerol are replaced by three, two, or one fatty acid residue(s) via esterification, while the remaining hydroxyl groups, if present, remain unsubstituted.In the context of the present invention, it should furthermore be assumed that the term “triglyceride oil composition” as used herein excludes the use of one or more alkyd resins. Alkyd resins are known among professionals in the field of wood coating compositions and represent polyesters obtained by subjecting a composition of raw materials to one or more polycondensation reactions (esterification and / or transesterification reactions), whereby the said composition of raw materials i) comprises at least one polycarboxylic acid component, such as orthophthalic acid or isophthalic acid or adipic acid, or the corresponding cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride of the said at least one polycarboxylic acid component, such as phthalic acid anhydride; ii) comprises at least one polyvalent alcohol or polyol component, such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, sorbitol, or penta-erythritol; and iii) at least one monocarbon fatty acid component or the corresponding triglyceride of the said monocarbon fatty acid component. In certain forms of the composition(C) of theThe present invention comprises the triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, a total quantity of monoglycerides and diglycerides of 20 less than 15.00 wt.-%, preferably less than 10.00 wt.-%, more preferably less than 7.00 wt.-%, and even more preferably less than 5.00 wt.-%, in relation to the total weight of the triglyceride oil composition. Method ISO 18395:2005 is a suitable method for the quantitative determination of each of the glyceride types.25 In certain forms of the composition(C) of the present invention, the triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, comprises a total quantity of free fatty acids of less than 5.00 wt.-%, preferably less than 3.00 wt.-%, with greater preference less than 2.00 wt.-%, with even greater preference less than 1.50 wt.-%, in relation to the total weight of the triglyceride oil composition. Method ISO 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 16 18395:2005 is a suitable method for the quantitative determination of each of the glyceride types.In certain forms of composition(C) of the present invention, the triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, comprises a total quantity of triglycerides of more than 80.005 wt.-%, preferably more than 87.00 wt.-%, preferably more than 91.00 wt.-%, preferably more than 93.50 wt.-%, in proportion to the total weight of the triglyceride oil composition. Method ISO 18395:2005 is a suitable method for the quantitative determination of each of the glyceride types.10 As already stated, according to the present invention, the triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above as part of the composition(C), comprises, preferably essentially consists of, in proportion to the total weight of the triglyceride oil composition, 40.00 to 100.00 wt.of at least one second drying oil chosen from the group consisting of linseed oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, poppy seed oil, perilla oil, hemp seed oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, corn oil, flaxseed oil, 20 grapeseed oil, walnut oil, chia oil, and camelina oil. In the context of the present invention, the term “drying oil” is deemed to refer to unsaturated fatty acid oils which are liquid oils at 20°C and which oxidatively crosslink and harden / solidify by reaction with atmospheric oxygen. 25 In the context of the present invention, the expression “at least one first drying oil” is understood to mean one or more than one first drying oil. Mixtures of first drying oils, as set out in detail above, may also be used for the invention. In the rest of the text, the expression “at least one first 30 drying oil”, for the purposes of the present invention, is understood to mean both in the singular and in the plural, in other words, the triglyceride- 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 17oil composition, and thus also the composition(C)of the present invention comprising the said triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, may comprise one or more than one first drying oil as set out in detail above. For the purposes of the composition(C) of the present invention, as set out in detail above, it is assumed that the at least one first-drying oil, as set out in detail above, comprises a substantial quantity of at least one fatty acid residue with at least three conjugated double bonds (where the three conjugated double bonds have the simplified formula -C=CC=CC=C-), such as a conjugated trienoin fatty acid residue, also known in the field, see for example the introductory part of TakujiTanakaetal.Int.J.Mol.Sci.2011, 12,7495–7509, by the synonymous name conjugated trienoin fatty acid residue. In the context of the present invention, the term “conjugated” in connection with polyunsaturation is known among experts in theorganic chemistry. The term refers to the presence of two or more carbon-carbon double bonds (i.e., C=C bonds) that are covalently linked to each other via a single carbon-carbon bond. In other words, both carbon atoms of a single carbon-carbon double bond are covalently bonded to an additional carbon atom via a double bond. A conjugate system, in its simplest form, can be represented as C=CC=C-. For example, it is described, particularly in various (review) publications in the professional literature, that ung oil, as the at least first-drying oil, in proportion to the total weight of all fatty acid residues in ung oil, can comprise more than 60 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-eleostearic acid ((9Z,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoic acid), as well as 65 to 85 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-eleostearic acid. Similarly, oil from the seed of bitter gourd, as the at least first-drying oil, in proportion to the total weight of all fatty acid residues in oil from the seed of bitter gourd, and alongsidethe presence of a small amount of the fatty acid residue of β- 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 18 eleostearic acid ((9E,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoic acid), comprising 50 to 60 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-eleostearic acid ((9Z,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoic acid). Furthermore, calendula seed oil can be at least the first drying oil, in proportion to the total weight of all fatty acid residues in calendula seed oil, and in addition to the presence of a small amount of the fatty acid residue of β-calendula acid ((8E,10E,12E)-octadeca- 8,10,12-trienoic acid), comprising up to 65 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-calendic acid ((8E,10E,12Z)-octadeca-8,10,12-trienoic acid), such as 50 to 65 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-calendic acid. Pomegranate seed oil as the at least one first-drying oil can, in proportion to the total weight of 10 all fatty acid residues in pomegranate seed oil, comprise 50 to 85 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of punic acid ((9Z,11E,13Z)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoic acid), such as approximately 65 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of punic acid. Oiticica seed oilas the at least one-first drying oil may, in proportion to the total weight of all fatty acid residues in initicica seed oil, comprise 45 to 85 wt.-% of the fatty acid residue of α-licanoic acid (4-oxo-(9Z,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoic acid or 4-oxo-α-eleostearic acid). Preferably, the at least one-first drying oil as part of the composition(C) of the present invention, as set out in detail above, is chosen from the group consisting of tung oil, calendula seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, and iniotica oil. With greater preference, the at least one-first drying oil is chosen from tung oil or calendula seed oil. With the greatest preference, the at least one-first drying oil is tung oil. In the context of the present invention, the expression “at least one second drying oil” is understood to mean one or more than one second drying oil.

This means that it follows that, when more than one of the mentioned radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalized compounds is present, it must be the sum of the 10 quantities of each of the mentioned radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalized compounds that is equal to or less than 5.00 wt.-%, in relation to the total weight of the composition(C). In the context of the present invention, the term “at least one radical polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalized15 compound” refers to compounds with at least one radical polymerizable (meth)acrylic acid as a functional group or at least one radical polymerizable (meth)acrylate as a functional group such as a salt, a conjugate base, or an ester of the said at least radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic acid as a functional group; which, under the influence of irradiation, a (photo)initiator, and / or a metal-based drying agentcan undergo radical polymerization, including in particular radical copolymerization with the triglyceride oil composition, as detailed above, during the auto-oxidative drying process into the cured polymer matrix after application of the composition(C) to wood products,25 which leads to the formation of coating layers of the said composition(C) on the said wood products. The inventors therefore limit the total combined quantity of additional radical polymerizable (meth)acryl-functionalized compounds in the composition(C), as set out in detail above, to 30 small quantities, as set out in detail above, i) on the one hand to ensure that those compounds do not interfere with the auto- 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 34 oxidative drying process to the cured polymer matrix or alter the final properties of the composition(C) after application of the composition(C) to wood products, which leads to the formation of coating layers of the said composition(C) on the saidwood products, and ii) on the other hand to distance oneself further from known water-based wood coating compositions with ultraviolet (UV) curable, which are typically aqueous emulsions or aqueous dispersions of acrylate polymers and polyurethane-acrylate hybrids with radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalities, such as radically polymerizable (meth)acrylate functionalities, which can lead to undesirable fiber swelling10 (water thickening or fiber thickening) due to the presence of significant amounts of water in similar wood coating compositions, as described above, and which generally usually require exposure to UV irradiation for curing and crosslinking, making effective manual application difficult when applied to wood products to coat wood surfaces. Non-restrictive examples of such radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic-functionalized compounds, as detailed above, include in particular (meth)acrylate-functionalizedmonomers, and (meth)acrylate-functionalized (co)polymers such as 20 polyether (meth)acrylates, urethane (meth)acrylates, epoxy (meth)acrylates, polyester (meth)acrylates, amino (meth)acrylates, melamine (meth)acrylates, silicone (meth)acrylates, phosphazene (meth)acrylates, and (meth)acrylic (meth)acrylates or mixtures thereof. With advantage, the quantity of the at least one radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalized compound, as set out in detail above, is equal to or less than 4.00 wt.-%, preferably equal to or less than 3.00 wt.-%, with greater preference equal to or less than 2.00 wt.-%, with even greater preference equal to or less than 1.00 wt.-%, in relation to the total weight of the composition(C).30 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 35 Preferably, the composition(C), as set out in detail above, is virtually free of one or more radically polymerizable (meth)acrylic functionalized compounds, as set out in detail above. For the purposes of the present invention, the expression means“virtually free of one or more radical polymerizable (meth)acryl-5 functionalized compounds” that the quantity of at least one radical polymerizable (meth)acryl-functionalized compound, in relation to the total weight of the composition(C), is equal to or less than 1.00 wt.-%, preferably equal to or less than 0.50 wt.-%, with more preferably equal to or less than 0.10 wt.-%.10 As stated above, according to the present invention, the composition(C), as set out in detail above, has a total solids content equal to or greater than 90.00 wt.-% in relation to the total weight of the composition(C), where the total solids content of the composition(C) is measured in accordance with standard15 ASTMD2369–20. In other words, the composition(C) is virtually free of volatile compounds, as measured according to the standard ASTMD2369–20. In the context of the present invention, the standard ASTMD2369–20 is used to obtain a weight percentage of solidssubstances (non-volatile substances) to determine the different volatile substances emitted by coatings. Typically, a material sample is placed on a balance scale, such as an aluminium foil balance scale, and placed in a convection oven at 110°C ± 5°C for 60 minutes. The weight remaining on the balance scale, i.e., the weight of the remaining solids, is then determined, and the total solids content is subsequently calculated based on the weight of the remaining solids. The lost mass represents the total weight percentage of volatile components. By advantage, the composition(C) according to the present invention, as set out in detail above, has a total solid content equal to or greater than 92.50 wt.-%, preferably equal to or greater than 95.00 wt.-%, preferably equal to or greater than 97.00 wt.-%, preferably equal to or greater than 99.00 wt.-%, where all wt.-% are in proportion to the total weight of the composition(C),and where the total solid content of the composition(C) has been measured according to the standard ASTMD2369–20.5 The inventors have surprisingly found that the composition(C), as set out in detail above, can rightly be characterized as a composition(C) with a high solid content that is virtually free of volatile components, such as water and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in particular volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thereby avoiding unwanted fiber swelling (water thickening or fiber thickening) when applied to wood surfaces due to the presence of significant amounts of water as described above, while still obtaining a composition(C) that is hardenable or curable15 is transparent light via photo-assisted oxypolymerization and exhibits a rapid build-up of hardness and at the same time continues to exhibit at least good properties in terms of film formation, i.e. without the film formation inthe compression or is hindered, as well as good mechanical properties in terms of hardness after the said composition(C)20 has been applied to wood products, which leads to the formation of coating layers of the said composition(C) on the said wood products, as shown in the experimental part, and which does not require the combined use of one or more isocyanate-based accelerators, as shown in the experimental part.25 Furthermore, it is assumed that all definitions and preferences, as described above, apply equally to all other forms of execution described hereinafter.

Another aspect of the present invention is a method for treating a surface or at least part of a surface of a wood product whereby the said wood product is treated with the composition(C), as set out in detail above.25 Furthermore, it is assumed that all definitions and preferences, as described above, apply equally to all other forms of execution described below. Furthermore, it is assumed that when a surface or at least a part of a surface of a wood product is treated with the 30 composition(C), as set out in detail above, the composition(C)can harden or cure by photo-assisted oxypolymerization at 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 56 exposure to the combination of irradiation by visible light, such as irradiation by visible light with a wavelength in the range of 380nm to 750nm, and molecular oxygen, as described above. Exposure to irradiation by visible light can, for example, be achieved with sources of indoor lighting such as daylight through glass, LED lamps, or fluorescent lamps5 that provide the visible light. By way of non-limiting examples of suitable wood products, mention can be made of decking boards, cladding, roof shingles, furniture, veneer, flooring and wood-based composite panels such as particleboard (PB), hardboard, plywood, oriented strand board (OSB),10 flakeboard, fibreboard, as well as medium-density fibreboard (MDF) and high-density fibreboard (HDF). In general, the method for treating the surface or at least a part of the surface of the wood product is not limited towood products made from a specific type of wood.15 Non-restrictive examples of suitable wood types include in particular i. hardwood, such as wood from dicotyledonous trees such as ash, mahogany, iroko, beech, oak, maple, birch, walnut, teak, alder, aspen, elm, gum, poplar or willow, ii. softwood, such as wood from conifers such as larch, pine, spruce, Douglas fir, Canadian pine, sequoia or spruce, or iii. certain other lignocellulose materials20 such as bamboo or hemp. By way of non-restrictive examples, suitable hardwood flooring includes in particular solid hardwood flooring such as solid parquet, or engineered hardwood flooring such as engineered parquet. Preferred wood products are chosen from furniture, solid25 hardwood flooring or engineered hardwood flooring. Among the subordinate ways to apply the composition(C), as set out in detail above, to the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood products, as set out in detail above, mention can be made in particular of conventional application methods which30known among professionals in the field of wood coating compositions such as painting; spraying, such as air mist spraying, air-assisted spraying 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 57 and non-air spraying; flow coating; transfer coating; roller coating; brushing; impregnating; dipping; smearing; curtain coating; and the like, with the aid of conventional equipment such as, but not limited to, a spray machine, a roller coating machine, a cloth, a brush, a sponge, a pad polishing machine, and the like. Preferably the composition(C) is applied5 to the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood products by spreading it with a pad polishing machine, or by spreading or impregnating it with a sponge, a brush or a cloth. In general, after the composition(C), as detailed above, has been applied to the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood products, as detailed above, the applied composition(C) can then be finally polished duringat least one polishing step. The at least one polishing step can be performed by hand, for example with the aid of a cloth, or with the aid of a pad polishing machine. In the event that an excess of the applied composition(C) is present on the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood products, the said excess must be removed in time during at least one removal step. The at least one removal can be performed by hand, for example with the aid of a cloth, or with the aid of a pad polishing machine. If desired, before applying the composition(C), as explained in detail above, the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood products is pre-roughened, for example by mechanical sanding. The composition(C) can be applied in small quantities to the surface or at least part of the surface of wood products, for example in a quantity (on a wet basis) of 5.0 grams per square meter [hereinafter g / m²] up to and including 50.0 g / m², preferably from 5.0 g / m² up to and including 40.0 g / m²,preferably from 10.0 to 20.0 g / m², resulting in thin layers applied as a coating, for example with an average thickness of 5.0 to 30 50.0 microns, preferably from 5.0 to 40.0 microns, after drying and curing. 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 58 Another aspect of the present invention is a coating applied by means of the method for the treatment of the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood product, as set out in detail above, whereby the said wood product is treated with composition(C), as set out in detail above. Furthermore, it is assumed that all definitions and preferences, as described above, apply equally to all other forms of execution described below. The inventors have surprisingly found that when the 10 surface or at least part of the surface of wood products is treated with the composition(C) of the present invention, as set out in detail above, the resulting layer applied as a coatingnow exhibits a rapid build-up of hardness and at the same time continues to exhibit at least good properties in terms of film formation, i.e. without the film formation being compromised or hindered, as well as good mechanical properties in terms of hardness, as demonstrated in the experimental section. In combination with a rapid build-up of hardness and good properties in terms of film formation, the inventors have in particular surprisingly observed that when the composition(C) with 20 high solids content of the present invention is applied to wood products, which leads to the formation of layers of the said composition(C) applied as coatings on the said wood products, a sufficiently high hardness can easily be achieved within a few days after application, or even 24 hours after application, and without further need for 25 use of one or more isocyanate-based accelerators known to professionals in the field of wood coating compositions for further improvement of the drying properties and kinetics of wood coating compositions (i.e.thereby a shortened drying time or accelerated drying is obtained in the presence of such one or more isocyanate-based accelerators).30 The application of the composition(C) to the surface or at least part of the surface of wood products can yield thin layers applied as a coating, for example, layers applied as a coating with an average thickness of 5.0 to 50.0 microns, preferably 5.0 to 40.0 microns, subsequently drying and curing. Another aspect of the present invention is a use of the composition(C), as set out in detail above, in the method for the treatment of the surface or at least part of the surface of the wood product, as set out in detail above. Furthermore, it is assumed that all definitions and preferences, as described above, apply equally to all other forms of execution described below.10 According to one form of execution of the composition(C) of the present invention, the composition(C), as detailed aboveset out, a one-part system or a single system, which is stored as such, for example, in a container or a tin, for example, a metal tin, as the one part.15 With advantage, the composition(C), as set out in detail above, is stable to store, i.e. the said composition(C) can be stored for a period of several months to a year and longer without changing to the extent that this is relevant for its use with regard to the properties concerning its application or20 the properties after oxidative drying. In a single-part system, the composition(C), as set out in detail above, can for example be prepared just before the said composition(C) is introduced into the said single part. Alternatively, in a single-part system, the composition(C), as set out in detail above, can for example be prepared by the triglyceride oil composition, as set out in detail above, the at least one metal-based drying agent, as set out in detail above, the at leastone compound(P1), as set out in detail above, the compound(P2) according to Formula(IP2), as set out in detail above, possibly the at least one micronized wax(Mp), as set out in detail above, possibly the at least one pigment, as set out in detail above, and 2025 / 5130 BE2025 / 5130 60 possibly the at least one additional component(IC), as set out in detail above, to be added to the said single part, whereby the composition(C) in the said single part is formed. Instead of preserving the composition(C), as set out in detail above, as a one-part system, the composition(C), as set out in detail above5, can, if desired, be a multi-part system comprising at least two complementary parts, where the said at least two complementary parts are a first complementary part and a second complementary part, and possibly one or more additional complementary parts, such as a two-part system consisting of the first10 complementary parts and the second complementary part, where the saidat least two complementary parts combined
