Improving Furniture Quality and Aesthetics
Furniture manufacturers utilize a range of materials—including laminates, PVC for outdoor plastic furniture, and coatings for wood—to achieve the aesthetic and functional performance customers want and need.
Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) adds light stability to finished products, preventing fading from UV exposure, and keeping furniture made of plastic, wood, or laminate looking like new for much longer.
Laminates also improve the function and look of:
- Worktops, desks, and counters
- Cabinets
- Tables
- Drawers
- Shelves
Furniture manufacturers looking for a premium laminate finish use high-quality TiO₂ like Ti-Pure™ to provide consistent opacity and color and even dispersion of pigment particles for a beautiful and customizable finish.
Wood furniture requires additional protection to prevent wear and add aesthetic appeal. In these applications, coatings made with high-quality TiO₂ cover more smoothly, adding bright, even colors and lasting high gloss.
Outdoor furniture also requires protection from the elements and sun exposure. PVC furniture made with a high-quality TiO₂ maintains its mechanical integrity and color over its lifetime.
