Blum Combines SERVO-DRIVE with AVENTOS Lift Systems
Presenting Blum’s new SERVO-DRIVE opening feature for AVENTOS lift systems. AVENTOS is Blum’s functional hardware for upper cabinet doors that
lifts the door up and out of the way instead of to the side like hinges do.
Adding SERVO-DRIVE allows the kitchen user to touch the front of the door
and a low voltage electric motor will lift the door open. Touching a button
at the bottom of the cabinet will close the door without having to reach up
high – great in universal design applications for people with arthritis, limited
height or restriction to a wheelchair. The following YouTube links uploaded
by customers illustrate the function and possibilities of this technology. n

Salice is introducing a complete line of
sliding door systems manufactured in Italy.
Although the main focus is on coplanar sliding movements, Salice offers a complete
solution of sliding systems, vertical and
horizontal, all compatible with multiple door
solutions. The systems are designed around
customer specifications and are customized
according to the number of doors and the
weight. From ultra-light doors to doors as
heavy as 150lbs each, the system offers
a completely silent sliding mechanism with
decelerated opening and closing devices,
designed to fully support the door weight
and rendering the motion seamless and
effortless. The notion of coplanar doors,
doors on the same plane that slide on one
another, has been taken to the next level
by adding an electric motor on some of the
units and, if requested, a remote control for
a state-of-the-art functionality. The weight
support and the sliding systems can be
mounted either on top or underneath the
cabinet, offering a versatile solution for any
construction need. n

also includes switches that allow for dimming and motion sensors, which can further
reduce energy usage.
The Loox lighting system is based on Plug
& Play technology, which makes the drivers
and switches simple to specify and install
and eliminates the need for an electrician.
Furthermore, the Loox driver is internationally certified allowing it to be used with
power systems all over the world. n

Salice introduces tItanIUm. hinges with a rich, warm finish.
The new TITANIUM, with it’s warm finish, integrates perfectly with today’s cabinetry. It is the
perfect combination of warmth and modern functionality. When compared with the traditional
blue or nickel-plated finishes, this rich hue is less invasive and has a muted sheen. TITANIUM
is the ideal hinge for today’s darker interiors, but is also suitable for the lightest interiors. Plus,
the corrosion strength is considerably increased when compared to the nickel-plated finish.

Don Schalk President and COO of C.H. Briggs
b y
s u z a n n e
v a n
G i l d e r
D.M.
What makes a good distributor?
Mr. Schalk: We recently did a lot of
research with Texas A&M University in one
of their consortiums about customer satisfaction and the customer experience. What
customers say they really value from a distributor is consistency, reliability and knowledge.
Customers also depend on quick access to
information that allows them to make good
business decisions, enhance their profitability and give them a leg up on the competition.
D.M. What role do manufacturer
partnerships play?
T
he benefits of distribution are tangible to both manufacturer and end
user. From facilitating the most basic transactions efficiently, to creating and maintaining extremely personalized relationships, distribution
brings undeniable value to the channel. The nuance of how distribu-
tion navigates in an ever-changing marketplace, however, is a little more amor-
phous. Part of the role of the NBMDA and CIDA is to bring together manufacturers
and distributors in a setting where they can share best practices and discuss
the key issues that everyone in the industry faces. In-coming President-elect of
the NBMDA, Don Schalk, recently took time to share his insights, garnered from
24 years in the distribution industry, with Distribution Matters. Mr. Schalk is also
the President and COO of C.H. Briggs, one of the largest independently owned
distributors of specialty building materials on the east coast.
“The future of distribution is bright. Is it changing?
Yes, it is changing as a result of how customers get
information and the use of technology.”
Mr. Schalk: Distribution typically partners
with manufacturers to determine how best
to efficiently move the product through the
supply chain in their market served. That is
important because when the supply chain is
not efficient it ties up capital and minimizes
the return on investment for the distributor,
and in the long term it also minimizes the
return on investment for the manufacturer.
So we are in constant communication
with manufacturers. We tell them what
products are selling, which helps them from
a production standpoint. Likewise we try
to tell them which products are coming to
the end of their product lifecycle. With our
key vendors we spend a lot of time developing comprehensive business plans for their
products, as well as working with them to
make sure that we are serving the market
cost effectively.
D.M. What are some benefits that
distribution brings to end-users?
Another threat to distribution are nontraditional competitors like Amazon.com
that are starting to sell some of our products. Those online storefronts are a general
marketing arm for product; they partner with
manufacturers and even in some cases distributors. If that market continues to evolve
or change in this fashion, the business model
for distribution will have to change.
One of the things that our
company does is try to understand our customers’ business so that, in effect, we can
help them be more profitable. For those customers that are willing to sit down and share
their business plans with us, we are willing
to work with them to find the best solutions
for moving product to them. That includes
sharing product knowledge and bringing various solutions to help them make the right
choices for their operation and their customers. Extending credit is also key to assisting
them in securing projects.
Mr. Schalk:
D.M.
What is the future of distribution?
Mr. Schalk: The future of distribution is
bright. Is it changing? Yes, it is changing as a
result of how customers get information and
the use of technology. I think the distributors that have the vision to see how best to
use those tools to serve customers, and get
information to them quickly, are going to be
very successful. I think the ones that don’t
do that will struggle.
What is the advancing role of
technology?
D.M.
I strongly believe that the way
in which distributors will serve customers
and communicate with customers is changing very rapidly. If you think about our society
from a technology standpoint, it is becoming social, mobile and integrated. With the
Internet a lot of customers come to us after
they have researched products, and they
know as much about the product as we do.
So one’s ability to deal with them and communicate with them the way they choose to
get information is important.
Many of the tools that are available
to us now allow for processes to be automated that have traditionally been manual,
allow us to get to customers new product
information much quicker than ever before,
Mr. Schalk:
and allow customers to buy products online
whenever they want. For example, at C.H.
Briggs our ERP provider INFOR collaborated with Salesforce.com to develop an
integrated system. When our sales team
visits customers today they use iPads, and
through that tool they can see the customer’s history, as well as get real time inventory
information and provide accurate quotes.
The sales rep also inputs information into
the system. So the entire organization is up
to date on the customers’ needs and can be
responsive, even if that particular rep is not
available. It is a part of our overarching customer intimacy strategy.
D.M. How do you begin to address those
challenges?
Mr. Schalk: How all this plays out over
time forces the distributor today to think
about what the business model is going to
be tomorrow. Being part of the NBMDA, the
premier organization for building materials
distributors, is important. The association
helps distributors to work closely with manufacturers on key issues and learning from
each other and sharing ideas helps each of
us become better channel partners. s&p
D.M. What issues keep distributors up at
night?
In this economy the biggest
challenge is volatility and uncertainty. In the
last several years it has been very difficult to
see a consistent trend in the marketplace.
And as a result of that I think that makes
manpower planning a challenge. Also rising
costs related to logistics and delivery. Finding
quality truck drivers is a major challenge, as
is attracting talented people to the industry.

ccording to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA)
released by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing
Studies of Harvard University on January 23, 2013*, remodeling in the United
States accounts for $275 billion in spending annually. Yet the nature of the
trade, with many small projects completed by professionals of varying size
across every region, can make it difficult to see what is happening in the segment. The latest LIRA, along with recent reports from The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers
Association (KCMA) all indicate a significant upswing in remodeling expected
for 2013. “It’s encouraging to see the residential sector finally contribute to
growth in our economy,” says Eric S. Belsky, managing director of the Joint
Center. “Through the first three quarters of 2012, investment in the residential
sector was responsible for one out of every six dollars added to our GDP. Moving forward, home improvement spending is expected to make an even larger
contribution to GDP growth.”
This trend appears to be true even outside of predictably affluent areas of
the country because the driving factors behind it are ubiquitous nationwide.
“After limited spending during the housing bust, renovating the more than one
million distressed properties that were sold in 2011 contributed nearly $10
billion to home improvement spending,” says Eric S. Belsky, managing director of the Joint Center. “With about three million more foreclosures and short
sales in the pipeline, there is even more such spending ahead of us.” The
number of homeowners moving into retirement is also increasing, and with
it the demand for retrofitting homes to accommodate aging. “A decade ago,
homeowners over 55 accounted for less than one third of all home improvement spending. By 2011, this share had already grown to over 45 percent.
And generations behind the baby boomers will help fuel future spending
growth since echo boomers are projected to outnumber baby boomers by

more than twelve million as they begin to enter their peak remodeling
years over the next decade.”
The big picture reports are corroborated by individual remodelers and contractors. Business is increasing. And while the traditional
virtues of quality, reliability and honesty are still at the heart of successful operations, homeowners’ expectations for remodeling contractors are evolving. “Recently our business has been good,” says
Steve Rehder President of Rehder Construction, Inc. “Of course,
everyone struggled through the recession, but we were able to adapt
and survived. It was the fifth one we’ve been through in 32 years of
business, and it was the worst. Now it seems that folks have more
confidence and are willing to spend money on larger projects. But
a lot has changed. Businesses that have not kept up with what is
happening in the economy and the remodeling industry have failed.”
One of the changes that Rehder notes is that his clients have unprecedented access to information. Nearly all of them research materials
and finishes on the Internet prior to meeting with him. “It is a positive
to have well-informed clients, but there is a downside too. For example, someone might find a product available for a lower price on the
Internet, and that is when it becomes tricky. Yes, it might cost less,
but who is going to stand behind it? I take full responsibility for my
work. When things go well, great. But the buck stops here. I need to
trust my sources.” Another trend in the remodeling up-tick, is homeowners renovating for increased energy efficiency or environmental
friendliness. “A lot of our clients are interested in LEED certification
and other ecological standards,” says Rehder. “I depend on consultation from my suppliers to stay on top of new products and materials.”
104
Located in Campbell, CA, Rehder Construction is an exemplary
remodeling operation in practice, receiving a CotY (Contractor of
the Year) Regional Award and META Platinum Award in 2012. The
company is also a good representation of what remodeling companies typically look like: relatively small (in Rehder’s case there are
six employees), regionally specific, and with the majority of the company’s business coming from repeats or referrals. Because of that,
Rehder relies on trusted partnerships, both with subcontractors and
suppliers, to help him stay competitive in an ever-changing residential marketplace. “I have found through the years that creating relationships with suppliers is key. I am faithful to them, and they are
faithful to me,” says Rehder. “If I need something urgently, I can get
it without having to put down a deposit. If there is a defect or something goes wrong, my distribution partners take care of it immediately. I make a phone call and it is done. I don’t have to track it, which
is important to me.”
According to NARI, homeowners are still concerned about spending money, and there is a small segment of remodelers that are predicting decline, citing the uncertainty of the future with commentary
focused largely on tax increases and political issues. But over all, the
near future of the remodeling segment looks bright. “There are many
external economic and political risks that could derail this remodeling recovery,” says Kermit Baker, director of the Remodeling Futures
Program at the Joint Center. “However, the solid momentum behind
home building activity, existing home sales, low financing costs, and
remodeling contractor sentiment all point to a solid start to the new
year for home improvement spending.” s&p

hen one of the showrooms of your custom storage
business is written up as an art gallery in the arts
section of the New York Times, you know you’re doing
something right (www.transformgallery.com). More
precisely in the case of transFORM (www.transform
home.com), Co-Founders Andreas Messis and Stuart Reisch are doing
several things right. First and foremost, they have elevated the concept
of custom storage to an art, including a palette of irresistible materials.
Underlying that is a solid foundation in business and production. And
tying these two worlds together are vendor relationships.
Aesthetics
“We’re a one stop shop. We design, engineer, manufacture and
install custom storage solutions in the New York metropolitan area,”
says Reisch, whose background is in finance and real estate development. “But one of the things that makes us a unique company is
that Andreas (Messis) has a BFA in set design. So we took something
that was pragmatic, a practical application, and we looked at how
we could make it beautiful.” transFORM’s 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in New Rochelle, within New York’s desirable Westchester County. The company has showrooms in both New

In essence, they have accomplished what marketing professionals
in the industry strive to do: transFORM has made panel processing
sexy, both in product and perception.
The simplified dictionary definition of art as being “the conscious
use of skill and creative imagination in the production of aesthetic
objects,” does an adequate job of describing the driving force behind
transFORM’s approach. In essence, they have accomplished what
marketing professionals in the industry strive to do: transFORM has
made panel processing sexy, both in product and perception. “We’re
a design firm,“ says Messis, “so that is why we always look for the
best products available. Sometimes materials look great, but don’t
perform. Other times materials are durable, but they don’t look good.”
transFORM composes custom storage solutions from a carefully chosen palette of TFL, HPL, thermofoil, veneer, wood stains and lacquers.
Despite the fact that the company has, by their account, the most comprehensive catalogue in the storage industry, part of the art is reductive. Yes, there are essentially limitless options for décor designs, door
styles, finishes, lighting, accents and embellishments, but present
them all to a layperson and there is a high likelihood of design paralysis or stylistic train wreck.
Messis chooses all of transFORM’s materials based in part on
leading edge trends. “From a design standpoint we are seeing a
reverse back to a bit more traditional style. People still favor clean
lines and shaker style, but it is not the ultra contemporary that it was
four years ago. There is a homey feel to design with a hint of earth
and nature, walnuts and oaks, wood tones with a twist. Metals, white
and off white are still popular.” People also like the look of exotics,
but don’t necessarily want to use rare species. “We exclusively use
Tafisa for our TFL because they understand our business and bring
these new looks to our industry,” says Messis. “The urbania and alto
textures especially appeal to our clientele.” When the application

calls for HPL, Wilsonart is the specification because it matches the
Tafisa designs. Decorative Specialties Inc. supplies matching RTF
components. “In terms of woodgrain laminate, the industry has
continually improved the product,” says Reisch. “It has gotten to the
point where it is very difficult for consumers to tell the difference
between real wood and laminate. In Europe, laminate is generally
accepted as wood, they consider it engineered wood. And I think
Americans are becoming more comfortable with that idea.”
Logistics
Over the past 12 years of business, transFORM has developed a
successful operational model, as well as the necessary vendor relationships to support it. The process starts with an in-home design
consultation. Once a project has been designed and approved it falls
into the realm of Operations Manager Russ Conn, who oversees the
company’s engineering, manufacturing and installation. Every project is unique, and with roughly 100 jobs being installed monthly,
transFORM relies on distributor relationships. “I look at the futures,
anywhere from 2-4 weeks out to make sure I have the materials I
am going to need,” says Conn. “Our vendors typically have a 48-hour
delivery window, and they monitor their inventory so that they can
supply our current work flow.”
According to Reisch, that monitoring is a crucial part of a distributor relationship. “Take Hafele for example,” says Reisch. “We use a lot
of their products. In fact, we were one of the first companies to start
using the LOOX drivers and LED lamps. We try to work as lean as possible, so we don’t hold a lot of stock, and a lot of their products are not
made in the USA. We not only depend on them communicate with us
so they can anticipate our needs, but also to be honest with us about
the availability of product.”
108
transFORM looks for vendors that offer competitive pricing, convenience and an understanding of its business. The company uses
Rugby Architectural Building Products to supply their TFL and panel
goods. “Our primary hardware supplier is Hafele but we also use
another great distributor, Richie DeMarco of Everready Hardware,”
says Reisch. “Aka “The Mayor of Hardware.” Richie not only represents Rev-A-Shelf, but is extremely knowledgeable about the closet
and home storage industry,” In all cases, being able to order, track
orders and pay online is helpful. “I am not JIT, but I am as close to
it as I can possibly get and stay comfortable,” says Conn. “My goal
everyday in production is harmony. When things run smoothly and
our team feels good about what they are doing, that translates to the
product that we are delivering and installing.” s&p

S
teve Johnson, President of Denver-based General Casework/
kabi, knows how to make a lot
from a little. In fact, when the economy contracted in 2010 he downsized his space and
increased his business. He has few employees, minimal square footage and no outside
sales force. Up until the launch of kabi, a
custom kitchen brand born out of popular
demand in 2013, he didn’t even have consumer name. What Johnson does have is
a good understanding of how to serve the
cabinet market without actually competing
with it, machinery that makes his operation
quick and agile and access to a vast array
of the hottest decorative surfacing materials available.
“A lot of people tour the operation. We’ve
had the Stiles Executive Briefing Conference,
b y
s u z a n n e
v a n
g i l d e r
the AWI national conference, and the CMA
regional conferences come through.” says
Johnson, “And they all scratch their heads
at the amount of capital investment for the
square footage. I have sales volume ratios
that don’t work in the traditional sense, so
there is disbelief. Being a small, but very flexible company, we are very agile and sensitive
to changes. Not just changes by the customer,
but in the market and material preferences.”
A little background. Steve Johnson is sort
of a ringer. He’s worked in lumberyards and
manufacturing; and he also spent 11 years
working for Stiles Machinery prior to opening
General Casework as an OEM that produces
green cabinets in 2003. Those experiences
provided Johnson with a comprehensive
understanding of machinery technology, as
well as the opportunity to look at myriad different business models and applications. “I
always professed that if people invested in
all the pieces, it would come back full fold
and reward them with less people and more
flexibility,” says Johnson. “No company has
100 percent of all the solutions, but the
things I have seen visiting other facilities and
studying markets in Europe were very influential and gave me a lot of opportunities.”
Cabinets for Everybody
As an OEM, General Caseworks offers a huge
variety of frameless cabinets to other companies that manufacture for residential, com110
mercial, education and healthcare markets
nationwide with a slim three-week lead-time.
“We don’t do any face frames, solid lumber
or any kind of finishing, “says Johnson.” The
whole facility is based around producing
green products, so a majority of our board is
NAUF, and we work with premium grade and
FSC particleboard, MDF or plywood, depending on the project. We primarily use HPL and
TFL, and when we use veneer it is always
reconstituted veneer with a water-based
UV finish.” Everything produced by General
Caseworks is made to order, and the design
possibilities are essentially limitless, drawing from the collections of the major domestic laminate producers, Wilsonart, Formica,
Nevamar, Pionite and Lab Designs, as well
as the European houses including Abet
Laminati, Arpa, and Liri. Textured TFL from
Roseberg, KML or Stevens is also an option.
“Laminate companies, here is the neat thing,
they all make beautiful laminate with different finishes, “ says Johnson. “That is what
makes it the most exciting for the end users.
The wood actually looks like it is real wood
with texture added to it. Whether it is HPL
or TFL it becomes more realistic and more
acceptable as a finished product.”
In fact, customers and end-users were
so impressed with General Caseworks that
word got around, even without an outside
sales force. “We’ve always received a lot of
interest in putting our product into individual
kitchens, whether it be new construction or
remodel,” says Johnson. “When the economy
hit hard, that part of the business kept growing while the other parts kept shrinking. Now
it makes up more than 60 percent of what
we do.” It got to the point where the facet
of the business that made custom kitchens
deserved its own identity, complete with a
name and an eye-candy filled showroom. As
a result, kabi is officially launched this year.
Yet even the kabi concept is executed
slightly differently than a normal dealership.
The business model behind kabi includes a
showroom developed for the use of kitchen
designers, interior designers and architects
with a residential background. The relatively
open-ended product line affords as much
control over the project (and the margins)
to the designer as he or she wants. Prior to
bringing clients to the showroom, designers meet with the kabi sales coordinator to
establish how involved kabi will be with the
project.
Part of kabi’s appeal is that the products
are available in literally thousands of surface
designs, which begs the question, how does
one showcase such flexibility? “It is kind of
an ever changing thing,” says Johnson. “We
say to people, ‘Come and experience the
kabi experience.’ It is all about fun colors and
options. Some customers even end up with
multiple sets of doors so they can change
their look.” Sample kitchens reminiscent of
the 1960s appeal to people reconstructing
mid-century modern homes. Unique materials with acrylic fronts and acrylic edgebanding, or high-gloss laminates gently encourage
current day trends that are happening in
Europe. There is even a super matte model
kitchen, a look that is just beginning to make
its way into North America. “The cool thing
about it is if the customer or the designer can
dream it, or has seen it, they just have to tell
us which laminate company they think carries
the design or texture, and we can research it
and make it happen,” says Johnson.
General Caseworks/kabi depends on the
following vendor relationships:
• Darant Distributing: Wilsonart HPL,
hardware from Accuride, Amerock, Blum
and woodTape
• National Wood Products: board, TFL sheet
goods and laid up sheet goods
• Würth Louis and Company: Formica HPL,
hardware from Blum, Grass, Rev-A-Shelf
• Larson Distributing: Nevamar HPL,
hardware from Grass
• ESI: Pionite HPL and edgebanding
• Sierra Forest Products: board and TFL
sheet goods, hardware from Hettich
• Hafele: hardware
• Hardwoods: sheet goods

Expanding While Contracting
To be flexible and fast, General Caseworks is
set up so that a single operator can perform
each process. This includes a comprehensive system of transfer cars, conveyers, vacuum assists and return conveyors. Johnson
just hired an employee to help with a large
upcoming project, bringing the total number
of production workers to seven. “The ratio of
people to sales dollars doesn’t make sense
to a lot of people,” says Johnson, “but we
can do it because of the processes, systems

codes to keep track of each unique job. “We
also have two of everything, “says Johnson…
“two means of cutting panels, two point to
points, two horizontal machines, two edgebanders and two case clamps. In order to
maintain that short 3-week lead-time, even if
we are doing good preventative maintenance
and planning what is going on in the facility,
there is always a day or time when something
breaks. I can’t use that as an excuse, particularly when making for other people. We have
to get product out on time.”
About the same time the residential portion of the business was really taking off, the
economic forecast in general turned pretty
dreary. Based on projections, Johnson made
the decision in 2010 to downsize and combine two facilities, one for machining and one
for assembly and shipping, into one 21,000
square foot shop. “What we gave up was a
lot of storage space,” says Johnson, who
tightened up the layout but kept all the equipment. “We keep no stock,” says Johnson. “In
fact, with good distribution like Denver has,
we can get what we need in pretty short
order. A number of our suppliers are sensitive
that we want green materials, and there are
certain TFL colors we need to have on those
substrates. We typically have contracts with
our vendors for those basic materials, and as
we use them up, they put them on order.”
The nature of Johnson’s business means
that he regularly travels to Europe and reads
trade publications to stay ahead of the latest technology and fashion, but he also gets
information from distributor reps. “The good
vendors take a more pro-active approach to
knowing my business and our needs.” Other
distributor characteristics that are important
to Johnson include competitive pricing and
reliability. “You have to look at the effect that
relationship has on your overall business,”
says Johnson. “Our business originated on
word of mouth. One happy customer might
tell somebody. But an unhappy customer
will tell lots of people. People buy from us
because of relationships.” s&p

Glossary of terms
ADHESIVE
A substance capable of holding materials
together by surface attachment. The term is
used to cover the bonding of sheet material
and is synonymous with glue.
BACKER
A non-decorative overlay used on the back
of composite panel constructions to protect
the substrate from changes in humidity and to
balance the panel construction.
BALANCED CONSTRUCTION
A laminated composite panel construction that
typically has a similar overlay on both surfaces,
which reduces or eliminates warp when subjected to moisture changes.
BASIS WEIGHT
Most often used to characterize the weight
of paper products; in the decorative overlay
industry the basis weight is defined as the
weight in pounds (or grams) per square feet
(or square meter) of paper.
BIAXIALLY ORIENTED FILM
Film in which molecules are oriented in two
directions within the transverse direction (TD)
and machine direction (MD) of the film.
CALENDERED
Polymer is passed through heated rolls, moving
at varying rates, to reduce the film thickness.
COATER
A company that paints, prints, primes or
otherwise pre-finishes panel substrates with
liquid or powder paint finishes.
COATING MANUFACTURER
A company that produces and/or supplies
an industrial decorative paint, print or prime
coating.
EMBOSSING
A process by which the surface of the panel
product is given a relief effect. This can be
accomplished with a pressure roll or a patterned caul plate in a hot press.
EPOXY
A two-component thermosetting adhesive
typically used for laminating medium and heavy
gauge vinyls. Epoxy adhesives are generally
blended 1:1 (resin to hardener) by volume and
are roll-coated either to the backside of the
vinyl web or to the board surface.
HOT MELT
A thermoplastic adhesive that is 100% solid
and applied molten to form a bond upon cooling. Hot melts differ from conventional liquid
adhesives because they set by cooling rather
than by absorption or evaporation of water or
solvent.
LAMINATOR
A company that applies an overlay to a panel
substrate or other blank material, typically
through the use of a bonding system.
MIL
A thickness measurement, typically used for
vinyls and papers. One mil = 0.001"
SUBSTRATE
A material that provides the surface onto
which an adhesive or coating is spread.
OVERLAY MANUFACTURER
A company that produces and/or supplies a
decorative overlay. The manufacturer may add
value to the overlay by, for example, applying
a topcoat.
TELEGRAPHING
Transfer of substrate surface defects through
the thickness of the overlay material.
POLYURETHANE DISPERSIONS
Polyurethane dispersions are used for the
membrane pressing of vinyl films and veneers
to a MDF core. They can be used in conjunction with a hardener for higher heat resistance if required. Polyurethane dispersions
are typically spray-applied to the MDF and
then air-dried before mating with the vinyl film
or veneer in the press.
RESIN CONTENT
In the decorative overlay industry, the resin
content is the percentage of resin in the
saturated paper in relation to the total weight
of the saturated paper.
SOLVENT-BORNE ADHESIVES
An adhesive containing polymeric materials
dissolved in volatile organic solvents to which
other components can be added to obtain
certain desired performance properties, such
as higher heat resistance. This type of adhesive is typically used on a hot line laminator
where it is applied to the board or film surface, dried and then heat-activated prior to a
hot roll laminating station. They are non-grain
raising and exhibit good coatability, high heat
resistance and excellent bond strengths.
THERMOPLASTIC
Resins or adhesives that harden at room
temperature and re-soften upon exposure to
heat.
THERMOSETTING
Resins or adhesives that cure at room temperature or in the hot press by chemical reaction
to form rigid bonds that are not re-softened
by subsequent exposure to heat (cross-links).
VOLATILES CONTENT
Weight loss of a saturated paper when heated
to bone-dry, expressed as a percentage of the
weight of the saturated paper.
WATER-BORNE ADHESIVES
Formulated synthetic polymer (usually polyvinyl
acetate or ethylene vinyl acetate. These products are generally used for paper laminating
where the adhesive is applied to the web and/
or panel surface and tacks up through one or
more heated rolls that combine paper to panel.
