| BASF develops light gray for Design-MDF BASF has developed a light-gray pigment preparation for through-coloring of medium-density fiberboard, MDF. Now it is possible to give yellowish wood fibers a light gray color. Together with Sonae Indústria/Glunz, Meppen, Germany, BASF has produced light-gray Design-MDF. Gray is seldom the result of mixing black and white. Rather, a mixing ratio of blue, red, yellow and green shades determines the specific gray value. With light-gray Design-MDF, designers and architects can set new accents in the furniture and object sector. The wood industry initially used color only to differentiate products with different qualities and characteristics, for example green for laminated floors and red for flame-resistant MDF. This changed completely with the development of Design-MDF. The new MDF generation is colorful and offers opportunities for modern design. The wood fibers remain clearly visible and convey the impression of a natural material. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
