09 Dec Sur[FACE] TheTruth
The call to become environmentally friendly and to live sustainably has been echoing through society for some time now. Sustainability is about creating durable products and materials that stand the test of time. Staying true to these values, Arpa Industriale® has taken action to provide a “win” for the environment and for their clients too. Arpa Industriale® has developed Bloom, a core technology for Arpa® HPL Bloom and FENIX® Bloom, which now has greater environmental performance.
“…the key ingredients for Arpa® products originate from the same place: responsibly managed forests.”
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The road to the development of Bloom technology began in 2012, when the Research and Development department started to focus its research on lignin, in an effort to increase the use of sustainable raw materials. In partnership with universities and research institutes and Arpa Industriale®, they developed a proprietary lignin-based resin.
START WITH THE CORE
Arpa products are made of paper and thermosetting resins based on phenol. With Bloom, lignin technology has been introduced to significantly reduce the amount of phenol included in the resin by 50%. Lignin is a natural polymer defined as the glue that holds wood fibres together. With this innovation, most of the key ingredients for Arpa products originate from the same place: responsibly managed forests.
MADE IN ITALY
While keeping the style of a “Made in Italy product” and a material that is easy to work with and extremely strong – resistant to micro-scratches, impact, abrasion, and heat – these features make it ideal for a wide range of horizontal and vertical applications for interior design. There are 4 new colours available in the Fenix® NTM Bloom range and a selection of 28 plain Arpa® HPL Bloom colours available in three different finishes namely ‘Erre’, ‘Lucida’ and ‘Kér’.
