PET foil roll
FOILS · FURNITURE

Back-side priming of PET foil for furniture lamination

Furniture foils are glued to MDF or wood with PU adhesives, and the back of a PET foil bonds as badly as the front. Duoprime® PET primes both sides with one product.

FOILS

Direct UV printing on standard PET film

UV inks do not stick to untreated PET. Duoprime® PET lets you buy standard film and add the adhesion in your own line — then print straight onto it, today or months later.

Running 1–3 g/m²: a stable process once it is set up

Coaters are used to 10–15 g/m² of primer, and 1–3 g/m² sounds like something that needs constant attention. It does not: the amount is set by the roller and the primer’s own viscosity, settles at around 1.5 g/m² and stays there.

Premium super-matte and high-gloss fronts on melamine-faced MDF

A thinner super-matte or high-gloss system for kitchen fronts and horizontal surfaces: Duoprime® M activates the melamine so the base coat bonds directly — better scratch resistance and machining, less coating, the same high-end look.
