"Trend & Tech" workshop by Arpa, Biesse and Rehau

It was held last March 14 in Pesaro , the workshop “Tech & Trend 2014” − Technology and innovative solutions for smart materials – organized by Arpa Industriale, Biesse and Rehau to update their customers on the latest innovations to meet the trends that orient the furniture industry today. The event, which saw the active participation of more than fifty partners, has been a great success thanks to the topics covered, the moments of demonstration and in particular to the strong synergy that unites the work of the three companies within the technology materials for interior design, solutions for laser edging and machinery for their processing.
Arpa Industriale presented the new “Hpl 2014 Fenix Ntm ®”, the exclusive intelligent material created for interior design, suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications. The exterior of “Fenix Ntm®” is obtained with the aid of nanotechnology and is characterized by a decorative surface treated with resins of new generation, result of research of Arpa Industriale. Following a discussion on the history of laser edging , which sees Rehau pioneer since its inception, Andrea Bucciarelli has stressed the importance of co-extrusion process for the production of the edges to get the highest quality beading not only optical , but also mechanical , regardless of type of polymer used .

Rehau then presented the range of edge laser developed to perfectly match the colors and surface features of “Fenix Ntm®”, whose careful design has allowed to obtain the same surface appearance and to maximize the resistance to scratches. Biesse spoke about “Air Force System”, the new technology based on the application of hot air, which thanks to the improved quality of the finished product and the simplicity system, has greatly lowered the entry barrier to the use of laser edges .
The second part of the workshop was held at the plant Biesse, in which participants were given a practical demonstration on the edge banding machine “Stream”  and observed the benefits of the innovative bonding system board using hot air.
