Chroma exemplifies the power of designing with the product’s entire life cycle in mind. Chroma is an innovative product platform utilizing a new coloring technology that allows the resin panels to be re-surfaced and re-colored over and over again. This allows them to be used in multiple applications, extending their useful life and keeping the material out of landfill.
The Chroma Life Cycle
- Color is infused to a depth of 250 microns (approximately the same as 10 sheets of paper), which provides for a luminous aesthetic quality
- Its surface can be refinished to look like new as often as desired
- Durable surface that can be refinished to look like new as often as desired
- The material gains a second life by being re-manufactured into a new product or sold through reclaim
- The color can be completely removed and re-manufactured for a new purpose
- New sheet can be sold through Reclaim
Other attributes include:
