Investigation of the wettability of PVC and PET films used for finishing furniture fronts. In this study, the wettability of PVC and PET films by measuring the contact angle of water on the basis of embedded drop method was examined. The values of contact angles of the film were measured at 5 s intervals over the period of one minute from the application of the drop of liquid on the film surface. The PVC and PET films were applied onto MDF. The PVC films were characterized by a greater contact angle than the PET films. It should be assumed that PVC coatings will provide better hydrophobic protection for surfaces of wood-based panels, which can result in improved durability of products made from them.
