Innovation as a key driver
Technologies that produce results:
more renewable materials
Innovation is a key driver in the creation of valuable, more sustainable materials for interior design. To reduce our impact, we act on raw materials by exploring less impacting ones.
Renewable materials
Although our surface materials are already prevalently made of renewable materials (wood fibres), Nemho, our centre of excellence for innovation and technology, is focused on further increasing materials’ renewable content by replacing raw materials of fossil origin with bio-based alternatives.
One of the last achievements is well represented by the Bloom technology, with the introduction of renewable materials in the core of our laminates.
Bloom Technology. Beyond the Surface.
Core innovation for Arpa high quality surfaces and for FENIX Innovative materials
Innovation and sustainability are key drivers in the creation of valuable materials for interior design. True to its values, our centre of excellence for innovation and technology (Nemho) developed Bloom, a core technology for Arpa HPL and FENIX® innovative materials.
The core of our surfaces are made of paper (a renewable material of natural origin) and thermosetting resins. The Bloom technology has introduced the use of renewable secondary materials derived from industrial bio-based by-products to reduce the amount of fossil-based components in the core resin. The high bio-based content is verified by an accredited third party according to the certification scheme complying with the NCS 16785:2016 norm.
Bloom technology increases the bio-based composition of Arpa HPL and FENIX, while maintaining their well-known characteristics of strength, resistance, and durability.
The bio-based content of Arpa thin HPL with Bloom core technology, verified according to the NCS 16785:2016 certification scheme, is certified by an accredited third party with a declared minimum 64% bio-based content. The certificate is available for download on arpaforinteriors.info.
The bio-based content of FENIX NTM Bloom, verified according to NCS 16785:2016, is certified by an accredited third party with a declared minimum 67% bio-based content. The certificate is available for download on fenixforinteriors.info.
