BASF and Glunz co-develops multicolour medium-density fibreboards

BASF and Glunz, a manufacturer of wood-based panels, have jointly developed four new colours for medium-density fibreboards (MDF). The colour shades - Royal, Curry, Berry and Terra - are based on BASF pigment preparations from the Dispers range. They are distributed under the brand name Innovus Coloured MDF as part of the global Innovus decor collection of Glunz.
 
The patent-registered Dispers pigment preparations have been developed by BASF specifically for use in wood-based panels such as MDF. These specially designed fibreboard materials consist of mass-coloured wood fibres and offer many design options for various fields of application – from top quality interior fittings and store design to trendy office furniture. Dispers pigment preparations ensure an even mass coloration of the material and stand out due to their great shine as well as their colour and light stability.
 
“The new colour collection opens up a completely new range of aesthetic options for MDF. The colours that we have developed in close cooperation with Glunz perfectly harmonise with and complement each other,” said Juliane Krusemann, marketing manager for pigments at BASF.
