  • Surface coating specialist Hesse Lignal is extending its product portfolio to include eco-friendly lacquer systems: the company from Hamm has developed a product range called “Better Carbon”, which contains a high proportion of renewable raw materials. These UV lacquers will give furniture, door and parquet manufacturers the opportunity to increase their products’ degree of sustainability without compromising on quality.

    “Over many years we’ve been focusing on sustainable approaches in relation to our product optimisation, resource conservation, development and implementation. This is enabling us to meet our responsibility towards our employees, society and the increasing environmental awareness of our customers”, reports Hesse Lignal CEO Jens Hesse. “We’ve developed a new product range called ‘Better Carbon’ to better enable us to satisfy our personal sustainability aspirations and to support our customers in making their production more sustainable.”

    Renewable raw materials are replacing fossils

    Achieving the objective of a higher degree of sustainability meant that the Hesse Lignal product developers largely replaced the fossil raw materials found in traditionally produced lacquers with bio-renewable carbon (BRC). This involves using renewable raw materials that remove CO2 from the atmosphere and then bind it. The portfolio now includes products with a BRC content of up to 30 per cent. The content of renewable raw materials always refers to the total quantity of carbon material in the product. Filling materials from a natural source are not included in this calculation.

    Good resistance properties

    “Our aim was to develop products for the industrial production of furniture, doors and parquet flooring, which are not only characterised by their sustainable formulation but also by high chemical and mechanical resistances,” Jens Hesse explains. Clear and coloured UV lacquers have finally been created after many years of research and development. They now exhibit the same properties in terms of appearance and longevity as traditionally formulated products.

    These BRC lacquers are available with immediate effect. Anyone interested in these sustainable products from Hesse Lignal can find additional information online via www.hesse-lignal.com
