F.A.Q.

Branched sign, with different color from the background, which runs along the surface of the wood. The grain is the fingerprint of the wood, his first visible feature, the element that distinguishes the different species of wood. The grain can be streaked, striped, wary, mottled, depending on the species and the type of cut.

Organic compound nitrogenous to three carbon atoms, it constitutes the raw material for the production of special thermosetting resins and of laminate coatings.

It is paper impregnated with melamine resins; it can be of various colors or imitate the wood grains. It is used to coat the chipboard panels, that after such treatment are called melamine panels.

Adhesives which, applied at molten state of high temperatures, will glue thanks to their cooling and to the pressure exerted between the two elements to be glue. They have properties of reversibility because, if reported at temperatures ranging from 60°C to 100°C, they will soften temporarily losing their adhesive strength.

They are resins which exert their adhesive strength thanks to chemical reactions in part activated by the heat. In the furniture industry the most important thermosetting glues are obtained with the combination of formaldehyde and other basic resins. Having substain a chemical reaction, they are irreversible adhesives, so they resist also at high temperatures.
