2 ALPIkord IS A SELECTION OF PRE-FINISHED WOOD READY FOR USE. ALPIkord IS A WOODEN PANEL OFFERING THE STATE OF THE ART IN TERMS OF SURFACES TREATMENT AND VARNISHING. A range of 40 woods, selected from ALPI s most successful prefinished products, representing leading-edge trends that reproduce naturally-occurring species, adds changes in colours and offers the opportunity to create imaginative designs. EFFICIENCY Consistency and uniformity of colours and patterns, the absence of typical defects of traditional wood and a considerable range of sizes, allow customers to minimize the amount of waste and reduce the number of cutting and splicing operations. VERSATILITY It is manufactured in large batches with predetermined dimensions. Its availability is guaranteed over time, making it the perfect choice both for mass production and for large contract use. The special manufacturing process makes it possible to recreate the characteristics of rare and precious woods as well produce creative and customized patterns. DESIGN ALPIkord boasts the characteristics of uniformity, continuity and the repeatability of its colours and grains; it may be customized into an infinite combination of patterns and colours to meet customers needs. ECO-SUSTAINABILITY ALPI s processing makes it possible to reproduce rare or protected woods using sustainable raw materials from plantations or controlled forests. The ALPIkord selection is completed by ALPldecos, a dedicated range of pre-finished wooden edgebanding on an ABS backing.

23 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE APPLICATION TIPS To ensure appropriate counterbalancing it is advisable to use the same type of product, although the process may also be conducted using HPL with characteristics that match the characteristics of the facing. In any event, specific production tests should be carried out to assess the appropriateness of the product utilized over time (48/72 hours). Sheets of ALPIkord must be conditioned at temperatures of at least 15 /20 C for a period of 24/48 hours in order to avoid the excessive fragility of patterns where curved. Changes to the decorative structure may necessitate changes to application-related parameters. FLAT PRESS GLUEING The utmost attention is required when using a press when cleaning the platens to avoid dents and damage to the finished surface. Damage to a varnished surface by particles between the metal platens and the pattern are difficult to repair. When applying ALPIkord, the protective film must be perfectly laid out on the surface of the ALPIkord to avoid thickness-related marks. Platen glue must be applied in a quantity such as to avoid lateral leakage under pressure and damage to the decorative surface. When using heat-hardening glue, the press temperature should never exceed 105 /110 C for longer than one minute. Application of ALPIkord to surfaces with a high thermal expansion coefficient (metallic and other surfaces) may result in alterations to its flatness and detachments owing to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. GLUEING WITH CONTACT ADHESIVE Glueing with contact adhesive using a padded ram must be performed to best practice standards in order to avoid more or less extensive bubbles forming on the surface. The glue operative must wait for the solvents contained in the adhesive to evaporate completely. POSTFORMING In the static postforming process, an excessively rapid rate of plug fall in conjunction with a failure to properly regulate the temperature can lead to micro and macro fractures on the curved part of the pattern. If the plug stays on the decorative surface for too long it may cause a blistering effect on the film of varnish. In the dynamic postforming process, if the panel moves forwards too quickly fractures may be caused in the curved part of the pattern. The edge that is being sheathed must be of regular and constant curvature along its entire length. Glue applied to the surface must be of appropriate grammage in order to avoid detachment and surface defects. The pressure rollers and bars that make up the curving envelope must be kept very clean, be accurately regulated along the outline of the curved edge, and be fully sheathed in plastic (the rollers) of between 50 and 80 Shore hardness. WARNINGS As with natural wood, for ALPIkord surfaces it is impossible to guarantee absolute colour consistency between different manufacturing lots. Any slight difference in colour between two or more production runs cannot be considered a defect. Just like natural wood, ALPIkord reacts to direct and indirect, solar and artificial light. A gradual change in surface colour appearance over time, accelerated by heat and humidity, is a natural phenomenon rather than a defect. CLEANING ALPIkord surfaces are easy to clean with a damp natural fibre cloth dipped in distilled water; if necessary add nonabrasive detergent. For more stubborn stains, use alcohol, ammonia or other light solvents. Never use acetone on the ALPIkord SILK finish. STORAGE ALPIkord must be stored horizontally, face-to-face, in an environment where the temperature is between 10 C and 30 C and the relative humidity between 40% and 60%, on ad hoc pallets; it must never be leaned directly on the floor. Like all wooden surfaces, in order to ensure good conservation over time, it should be protected from light with non-transparent - and if possible dark - coverings. Sheets should always be manoeuvred by two people. Given the complexity of different processes, industrial production tests are always advisable.
