Frequently Asked Questions
All of our formulations are custom engineered to meet your needs. We can formulate coatings to meet gloss requirements ranging from “matte” to “full gloss”. With the use of excimer curing technology, gloss values approach zero.
Our typical lead time is 2 weeks from the date of order placement. During the pandemic and subsequent supply chain chaos, we were able to maintain 100% complete and on-time delivery. Additionally, we help to manage inventory at your location through regular service visits. This helps with our advanced planning and prevents you from keeping excess inventory.
All of our formulations are custom engineered to meet your needs. We can formulate coatings that meet stain resistance requirements ranging from KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) to SEFA (Scientific Engineered Furniture Association) compliance.
