Brain-teasing parquet facts

Brain-teasing parquet facts

The first RIGO parquet expert session, attended by the Guild of Parquet Installers, among others, was a great day for sharing knowledge! A variety of professional topics were covered from every angle.

In a session featuring painters, floor experts and RIGO specialists, a variety of professional topics were thoroughly considered from all angles. For example, we discussed the influence of plasticisers from glue on water-based lacquers. The photo shows a discussion about a test with various types of glue. Our laboratory prepared the tests with Han, our technical consultant. Thanks to the collaboration between the laboratory and Han, with all his practical experience, we could make an optimally realistic simulation of the influence of glue on lacquer. After all, things are always a little more complicated in practice than they are in an organised lab environment. Another common issue is the effect of sunlight on the discolouration of tannins in wood. When does the wood change colour? And how are we sure it's not the colour of the lacquer that is changing? We are going to start a joint investigation with this group. Another issue in this profession is the distinction between fact and fiction when it comes to isocyanates. We discussed the legal framework, technical properties and our ideas for the future. For example, we're releasing a new STEP lacquer with a different type of hardener early next year.

Everyone contributed their own experiences, observations and perspective during this expert session. By combining all this knowledge, we became a lot wiser together! It was a valuable and wonderful day. Sharing knowledge like this is something we really enjoy.
