RADAELLI TECHNOLOGY FOR COVERINGS
Thanks to their many years of experience in the furniture-making
industry, Radaelli Angelo s.a.s. of Varano Brianza (province of
Milan) can now boast a leading position in the enhancement of
sections and coverings for interior decoration. Over the years the
company has invested heavily in research in order to develop
innovative solutions such as Dip Print, an example of a three-
dimensional decorative technology by means of which special
pigments applied to a water-soluble backing can then be
transferred to artefacts. Thanks to this technology, Radaelli are
able to reproduce many different designs such as those of the wood
of various species of trees, of marble and granite, patterns and
geometrical motifs accurately. The process also includes finishing
of the artefacts with a clear varnish that improves their
appearance and ensures a long useful life. One of the features
that architects working both on board super-yachts and on firm
land in settings requiring high aesthetic standards appreciate
about the Dip Print technology is the continuity and uniformity of
the finished surface, whether it is made of iron, aluminium,
brass, extruded PVC, MDF, polyurethane or wood. The company's
technical and sales personnel are able to assist each single
customer, accompanying them through the design stage, the creation
of specimens and industrial production, ensuring a high level of
production flexibility and limited delivery times.
Another activity due to which Radaelli stand out on the market concerns
their coverings, that can be made of veneer, PVC, printed paper or
laminated materials. The systems used by Radaellli enable to treat
sections made of wood, chipboard, MDF, extruded aluminium or stiff
thermoplastic materials to be enhanced by covering them with
materials such as pre-painted and finished flexible printed paper
with substances varying from 60 to 120 g/sq.m., paper impregnated
with polyester resins from 0.20 to 0.33 mm thick, decorated or
plain calendered PVC film from 0.15 to 0.40 mm thick or
thermoflexible laminated materials from 0.12 to 0.20 mm thick. The
covering is attached to the surface by means of heat-softened or
polyurethane-based adhesives capable of ensuring very high
adhesive strength and a long useful life. The company's catalogue
is up-dated constantly on the basis of the offering of patterns
and colours to meet the needs of a vast and varied customer base
and so as to ensure top quality.
