Chemicals are used in lacquer, glue and paint
to create surfaces that withstand scratches,
liquids and detergents. These properties
are essential in high traffic spaces that need
frequent cleaning and disinfection, such
as hospitals, schools and restaurants.

eco-friendly lacquers are often less suitable for
use in demanding environments. Our greatest
challenge is therefore to develop surface
treatments that meet strict environmental and
quality requirements.
Surface treatment that meets both
environmental and quality requirements
