Welcome to our technical blog on solid surface. Here we publish practical articles for solid surface manufacturers and for anyone considering starting a new project.
In this section of the blog you will find:
• Finishing and machining: polishing, textures, cutting, seaming and thermoforming, with what works and what causes trouble.
• Durability and maintenance: why a surface scratches, how to improve its performance and how to restore its original finishing.
• Shop floor problems: bubbles, porosity, shade differences between batches, mould marks and how to avoid them.
• Where the industry is heading: resins, nanoparticles, graphene derivatives, high-scratch performance ATH and what is coming next. The latest technological developments for this particular industry.
Solid surface production has grown spectacularly worldwide, expanding its use from kitchen worktops to bathroom fittings, furniture, flooring, and façade cladding. The development of bio-based resins, nanoparticles, and graphene derivatives is shaping the future of these composites. Our goal here is to keep both experienced manufacturers and those starting a new project well-informed by sharing valuable articles and manufacturing tips.
Looking for raw materials rather than an technical information? If you need to see the range or get a manufacturing project off the ground, go directly to our solid surface. page, where you will find ISO-NPG resin, aluminium trihydrate, pigment pastes and our technical assistance service.
