ABOUT THE FINISH

Acralyte II © is a replacement for epoxy resin, polyester resin, lacquer, conversion varnish, and polyurethane. It is an acrylic resin cured using ultraviolet light. Acralyte II © was years in research involving input from our customers and engineers from around the world. Our unique processes result in a superb finish that is unmatched in quality and durability.

It may not be until you or your clients have had our tables for 3 or 4 months that the advantages of Acralyte II © become apparent. The tables will look new while others may be scratched, worn, yellowed from sun light, and have unsightly heat rings from hot plates and cups. There will be no gummy finish with Acralyte II © because it is impervious to cleaning chemicals and alcohol.

Acralyte II ©

A thick, clean, and smooth, cosmopolitan appearance. This is a fine furniture finish. Proper set up and care will avoid problems, and give you years of outstanding service. Unlike other tables, Acralyte II © will withstand hot temperatures. However, we caution you not to place hot (190°F) dishes or ovenware directly on the surface. Don’t use items with rough or abrasive bases, and use ashtrays with rims. Acralyte II © can be finished either high gloss, or satin. Acralyte II © can be used in tables that require thick coats, such as fabrics, routed inlays, or highly textured surfaces.

Acralyte Lite II ©

A thin sprayed type of hard, durable furniture finish that produces the visual appearance of a hand-rubbed oil finish. Acralyte Lite II © is much better than polyurethane in that it achieves maximum cure before we ship it. Typical polyurethane's continue to harden over time, ultimately turning brittle and cracking. Acralyte Lite II © can be finished in satin or matte. Acralyte Lite II © can be used in thin spray applications on open-grained wood to produce the appearance of an elegant hand-rubbed finish.
