PET surface technology

Beautiful by design.
Built for daily life.

PET decorative panels pair a refined polymer surface with a stable board core, creating a consistent finish for furniture, cabinetry and interior applications.

The material

What is a
PET panel?

PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate—a durable thermoplastic used here as a decorative surface film.

The film is laminated to a selected board core to create a smooth, repeatable face. Depending on the collection, the surface can be super matte, high gloss, solid-colour or metallic.

Finish directions

One surface family.
Four distinct characters.

Compare PET sheen, colour and metallic response under the lighting of the intended interior.

Why specify PET

Refined appearance.
Practical performance.

01

Consistent finish

A uniform decorative face across furniture and interior components.

02

Easy everyday care

A smooth surface designed for straightforward routine cleaning.

03

Machining friendly

Suitable for accurate cutting, drilling and coordinated edge banding.

04

Design flexibility

Available across matte, gloss, solid and metallic visual directions.

PET EB vs traditional methods

A modern alternative,
application by application.

Compare PET EB with familiar surface systems according to appearance, fabrication and day-to-day performance.

01

Conventional UV-coated panels

Electron Beam curing uses a different curing route from conventional UV systems.

Depending on the specification, PET EB may offer improved colour stability and abrasion resistance across matte, gloss and metallic finishes.

Consider forCabinet fronts, wardrobes and joinery requiring a consistent premium finish.
02

Real-metal laminates

PET metallic finishes can provide a lighter, fabrication-friendly alternative, depending on the selected panel construction.

They reproduce a metal look without the oxidation behaviour of a real-metal face.

Consider forMetal-look retail fixtures, feature walls and architectural cabinetry.
03

High-pressure laminate

A smoother, more contemporary visual language with strong super-matte and anti-fingerprint positioning.

Can make coordinated panel and edge-band finishes easier to achieve.

Consider forMinimal kitchens, wardrobes and furniture with coordinated edges.
04

Acrylic surfaces

Selected PET EB products can provide a soft super-matte appearance with anti-fingerprint properties.

Metallic PET EB broadens the finish range; scratch performance should be confirmed from the selected product data.

Consider forPremium matte furniture, touch surfaces and metallic statement pieces.

Final performance depends on the selected film, core, lamination system, edge treatment and certified product specification.

Electron Beam curing

What does
EB add?

Electron Beam curing uses accelerated electrons to cross-link a coating at the surface. In decorative materials, this can create a dense cured layer designed to support wear, stain and weather resistance.

Performance varies by product specification. Confirm the relevant technical data for your selected colour, finish and core.

Care guidance

Simple
maintenance.

Use a soft damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents and prolonged standing moisture. Always follow the care instructions supplied with the selected finish.
