Furniture: frequently asked questions
Can you match a laminate or fabric colour?
Yes. Send a sample and we will develop a colorant to match it.
Which finish is best for armrests?
In-mould coatings in a matt to semi-gloss finish with good abrasion resistance are commonly used. We tailor the finish to your spec.
Which products are used for integral skin armrests and trim?
A shade-matched colorant, a release agent matched to the skin process, and an in-mould coating or lacquer for the surface finish.
Are your colorants suitable for comfort foam?
Yes. Liquid and dosing colorants colour flexible and moulded foam, and are REACH and RoHS compliant.
