Methodology
Studies – Formulations
The purpose of these studies is to develop the most efficient varnishes and to select raw materials according to their environmental performance.
Process definition
Blanchon Industry assists the industrial client in the definition of their technical environment. The choice of equipment is a key factor in the performance of the coating cycle.
Trial application
We have the necessary industrial finishing machines to reproduce the customer's process in real conditions. Thanks to this step, we limit the immobilization of an industrial finishing line for validation tests.
Performance analysis
The technical characteristics of the lacquers are tested and measured on their final support according to the specifications: abrasion, VOC emission, scratching, slipperiness, shocks, curling, chemical resistance, scuffing, flexibility...
Premium finish for resilient floors
Thanks to 15 years of experience, BLANCHON & CIRANOVA are positioned as the world leaders in Excimer coating for vinyl (international patent N°12325444) and hard wood floor. We provide to our industrial customers with customized solutions adapted to the configuration of their UV coating line.
