The Metallic effect lacquering
The Metallic effect lacquering derives from a painting process that involves the application of a layer of white polyester used as a base on a stabilizing MDF panel. Subsequently, 5 to 6 layers of pigmented components are applied by hand which give the matt metallic effect over the entire surface, including the edges.
The pigmentation is fixed to the support and protected by an opaque acrylic paint and, thanks to the craftsmanship of smoothing and brushing, we obtain the glossy effect.
The stratified HPL is a laminate internally made up of layers of cellulosic fibres impregnated with phenolic resins, while the external layers are impregnated with thermosetting resins. Everything undergoes the polycondensation of the resins with a strong pressure, combined with heat.
