ZERO-INFINITY COLLECTION

01/06/2024 15:48:57

Zero-Infinity Collection is the new proposal of supermatt decoratives that we have launched on the market!
The doors of the new collection have a lacquered surface that resists dirt. The lines are soft and silky with a three-dimensional surface with parallel lines. The surface lacquering enhances the depth of the unicolours and at the same time makes the woods more natural.
The four decorative currently available are Bianco B1005 and Congo U3032 (plain colours) and Linfa 30800 and Rovere Gavia 20201 (wood).

The origin of the name:
- "Zero" refers to the opacity of the varnish, which is 2 gloss, thus almost equal to zero.
- "Infinity" refers instead to the parallel lines running vertically over the height of the door, as if they were going towards infinity.

By Paulo Sousa MUVV Export manger

At MUVV, we understand the importance of long-term cost-effectiveness and minimal maintenance for our partners in the furniture and construction industries. Our commitment to this principle is reflected in the design and manufacturing of our sliding systems, which are engineered to provide exceptional durability and reliability without the need for ongoing subscription fees or maintenance contracts.

𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Rigorous Quality Control: Our manufacturing processes adhere to stringent quality control standards, ensuring that every component meets our high-performance benchmarks. This meticulous approach minimizes the likelihood of defects or malfunctions, further reducing maintenance needs.
Mechanical Simplicity: Unlike some competitor systems that rely on complex electronics or hydraulics, MUVV's purely mechanical solutions are inherently less susceptible to breakdowns or malfunctions. This mechanical simplicity translates into lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan.

𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:

Designed for Longevity: Our systems are designed with longevity in mind, ensuring compatibility with future product iterations and upgrades. This forward-thinking approach protects your investment and minimizes the need for major overhauls.

Continuous Innovation: We are committed to continuous innovation, constantly refining and enhancing our product offerings. However, we ensure that these advancements maintain compatibility with existing MUVV systems, protecting your investment and minimizing the need for disruptive upgrades.

𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀:

While wood is a traditional material in furniture and construction, it presents unique maintenance challenges. Wood is susceptible to environmental factors like humidity and temperature fluctuations, leading to warping, drying, or cracking. These issues can impact the functionality and aesthetics of wood-based furniture systems, calling for regular maintenance or repairs.

In contrast, MUVV's steel and aluminum systems are impervious to these environmental factors, maintaining their structural integrity and functionality over time. This inherent durability eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance associated with wood-based alternatives, resulting in long-term cost savings.

OGTM DESIGNING THE MOVEMENT

01/08/2024 14:42:02

OgTM is an acronym that encompasses our beginning and, almost 60 years later, still tells our STORY, a beautiful story of Italian entrepreneurship ...

The GIOVANNI TRIVINI Milanoworkshops were born in 1960, embodying the vision of a great craftsman whose project spanned three generations, transforming itself into the current complex of Sant 'Angelo Lodigiano, a reality production with a capacity of over 50,000 wheels per day, accredited among the technological elite of the sector, with over 120 international patents filed.

For almost 60 years at OgTM we have been producing wheels for furniture and furnishing accessories. The search for beauty, functional and technological innovation, collaboration with the greatest Italian and international architects and designers have become a sort of obsession for us, not just our distinctive trait.

We love CHALLENGES and uncompromising QUALITY, personally managing all the construction phases of a wheel, from the project to the finished product and indeed, if necessary, we also develop and manufacture the equipment necessary for the production process.

We work all types of materials (plastic, rubber, metals) with any type of treatment and finish. We develop tailor-made projects starting from the drawing and we are able to customize lots with tailor-made "out of series" requests.

At the helm of OgTM, to continue the "movement" that today has brought us to the main world markets, there are now Ruggero, Giovanni's son, who is in charge of the of product development and his wife Marilena Daccò, CEO and commercial soul.

But also the third generation already works in the company: the children Elisa and Daniele who deal respectively with Marketing and Production Technology.

... and the HISTORY continues, moving like our wheels ...

"That of OgTM is a philosophy that is realized in products that revolutionize, amaze, fascinate and innovate. Wheels never seen before, innovative in everything, from shape to construction, with the simplicity that distinguishes all great inventions"

REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt

21/05/2024 10:13:51

Surfaces in the furniture industry are becoming increasingly matt. But how do you remove unwanted stains, which will inevitably occur sometimes during installation? With the REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt, Ostermann's experts have a new and particularly eco-friendly solution.

Classic cleaners often leave a protective film on the surface. What is desirable for glossy materials and protects against new dirt accumulations often proves to be counterproductive for matt surfaces. With the REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt, Ostermann now offers a cleaner that has been specially developed for matt, super matt and extremely matt surfaces. The ready-to-use product comes in a spray bottle and removes greasy marks and residues of adhesive, dust or dirt without affecting the matt appearance, making it ideal for the final assembly. All information on the new product can also be found under the search term "Perfect Matt Cleaner" on the Ostermann website www.ostermann.eu.

Perfect Cleaner for All Matt Surfaces
Many matt and super matt furniture surfaces are now protected from visible fingerprints by modern technologies. Nevertheless, soiling cannot be completely avoided during the final assembly. The environmentally friendly REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt removes this soiling and effectively cleans, for example, ABS and PP edgings without leaving streaks, as well as coated or lacquered wooden boards or compact laminates with matt surfaces. It is also ideal for linoleum surfaces.

Growth for the REDOCOL greenline Family
The biodegradable cleaner is an important addition to the REDOCOL greenline series. These products focus in particular on environmentally friendly ingredients, ecology and occupational safety. Examples include the versatile workpiece and machine cleaner REDOCOL Teclinex One For All and the solvent-free edging glue REDOCOL greenline Kantol.

Don't Forget the Right Cloths
The right cloths for cleaning should not be missing in the assembly vehicle. The Ostermann experts recommend either the evenly woven REDOCOL Soft microfibre cloth or the REDOCOL Strong microfibre cloth with a firm waffle texture. A natural fibre cloth from REDOCOL made from 100% natural fibres is also available. All cloths can be used wet, damp or dry, and are suitable for all common surfaces.

"Perfect Matt" Finish Complements Ostermann's Extensive Range of Matt Edgings

21/05/2024 09:59:09

Edging specialist Ostermann has just launched a new surface finish for extremely matt furniture edgings. Processors can now choose from three qualities - Super Matt, Excellent Matt and the newly added Perfect Matt finish.

Board suppliers present an increasing number of matt surfaces in their collections. You will soon establish, however, that there are different types of matt. If you place the boards of different manufacturers next to each other, it becomes clear that not only the diversity of colours and decors, but also different versions of matt must be considered. To present furniture makers with as much choice as possible to find the best solution for the edging, Ostermann has now extended its portfolio of surface finishes. In addition to the existing "Super Matt" and "Excellent Matt" versions, "Perfect Matt" now presents a new option that is even more pleasant to the touch. 17 plain colours are already available with a finish in the new matt quality. Find all new edgings by typing in the search term "#Highlights05" on the Ostermann website www.ostermann.eu. They are available from stock in 1 mm thickness and many widths. All Ostermann ABS edgings can be cut to any required width up to 100 mm on request. Processors working with zero bondline machines can also get their edgings with a functional layer specially made to match the respective technology.

New Finish: Perfect Matt
The new edgings feature a soft and warm matt finish with a uniquely even touch and feel. The surface is non-porous and therefore easy to clean. High scratch resistance and anti-fingerprint properties are obligatory with this variant. Colours range from various shades of white and grey to selected plain colours such as taupe, burgundy, black, green, and blue.

Classic Finish: Excellent Matt
Edgings with an Excellent Matt finish have a dull matt, coarse surface and feature anti-fingerprint properties. They are highly scratch-resistant and the range of colours is even bigger. Also, these come in different thicknesses: 1 and 2 mm are available.

Standard Finish: Super Matt
Super matt edgings have a smooth matt standard surface. They are available from Ostermann in a wide range of colours and in different thicknesses. Unlike the previously mentioned variants, this one does not have anti-fingerprint properties, which is why the Ostermann experts recommend the super matt surface finish mainly for less exposed elements, such as furniture parts that are rarely touched or come into contact with grease.

Tip: The Right Cleaner
The new REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt was specially developed for extremely matt surfaces and effectively removes fingerprints or spots that inevitably occur when installing furniture without leaving streaks.

Ostermann has the New Sibu Design Boards

01/03/2024 10:44:23

The eye-catching Sibu Design Boards are a highlight for any interior. Ostermann has just added various new products to its range. These are delivered swiftly and reliably together with edgings, workshop supplies and other materials for furniture making.

Ostermann has been supplying the trade with Sibu Design Boards for many years. The large panels with their extraordinary designs are always the right choice when it comes to creating unique interiors - whether commercial or private, for trade fairs or shop fittings. Due to their low weight and robust surfaces, they are also increasingly sought-after for campervan conversions. The variety of designs extends across seven product lines and ranges from artificial leather and textile structures to metallic, extremely glossy or textured boards. The range has now been extended by 12 decors - additions to Structure-Line, Deco-Line, Multistyle, Leather-Line or SibuGlas. Carpenters/cabinet makers can view all new products under the search term "#Sibu2024" on the Ostermann website www.ostermann.eu and immediately order them, if needed, together with edgings, glues, cleaners and other materials for furniture and interior design.

Metallic Gloss with Exceptional Texture
When it comes to attracting maximum attention, the new SL Ocean (in colour options Gold or Iceblue) or MS 5 x 5 flex Aqua decors are a good choice. The undulating or mosaique-like structure of the high-gloss surfaces creates ever new variations of reflections and light effects through the interplay of light and shadow.

Metal in Even More Variations
The latest Sibu product additions also offer a variety of solutions for carpenters/cabinet makers who prefer a somewhat simpler metallic aesthetic. The range of innovations includes gleaming glossy surfaces, reflective boards in shades of gold and bronze, metal decors with a used look and a subtle matt rust decor.

Stone and Leather
The new portfolio is rounded off by one stone and one leather decor. The elegant DM Limestone Grey surface is interspersed with delicate golden, white and black veins. The LL White decor offers a vegan alternative for a classic white leather look.

Advice for Bonding
Most of the Design Boards are bonded using a classic white glue such as REDOCOL Kombicoll Super-N D3. For highly structured models, the Ostermann experts recommend the new REDOCOL greenline MS-Polymer 660.00/01 assembly glue. The neutral and elastic 1-component assembly glue is applied using a cartridge gun and even adheres to slightly damp substrates. In addition to glues and adhesives, Ostermann also supplies all other components for modern interior design. With the best advice and comprehensive service.

The only school for profile and panel wrapping professionals

16/07/2024 14:24:31

Most adhesive manufacturers focus on product formulation thinking that a good adhesive means an excellent bonding result.

The reality is very diffent. In fact the vast majority of cases of poor glue bonding are due to application errors.

Think of a manufacturer of furniture door panels covering thousands of square metres. Depending on the temperature of the hall, the level of humidity and how many metres he has to wrap in a batch, the machinery has to be set up correctly, otherwise the adhesive will not cure properly and hours of work and material will be wasted.

Add to this the problem of generational change and the difficulty of finding skilled labour, and the risk of producing defective batches grows even greater.

The Italian group TAKA-WPR, which boasts more than 20 years in the world of hot melt polyurethane glue production and machinery for coating profiles and panels, has founded an Academy where it can gather all its know-how acquired by working with customers all over the world in both the PVC and wood sectors.

In particular, the following are available:
-special course on lamination of wooden panels and edgebanding
-courses for those who want to enter the world of lamination but do not know what spaces, what machinery, what quality control procedures are needed to get started.
-courses to learn about all those routine maintenance practices that are strategic for maintaining a perfectly efficient plant
-many other courses for those working in the world of pvc coating profiles and panels

All courses can be organised either at TAKA's Italian headquarters or in the factory and can be adapted to create tailor-made solutions.

Joining the TAKA Academy means accessing a unique network of professionals in the world of glue and ensuring assistance at all stages of the coating process: from the choice of glue and its in-line testing to advice on the choice of a new machine.

If you want to know more about our Academy, we look forward to seeing you at SICAM at stand A15, Hall 10

The importance of glue in the edgebanding

16/07/2024 11:59:26

Edgebanding is an important process in the finishing of furniture panels.

It is not only a question of finishing but also serves to guarantee the important performance of the panel. Depending on the type of thermo-fusing used, there are considerable differences.

The characteristics of HMPUR hot melt adhesives

These adhesives have the particularity of creating a bond that is not only physical (like other hot melts) but also chemical.

The article acquires special physical characteristics:

- Heat resistance above 150°C
- Water resistance
- Resistance to steam
- Resistance to solvents

These performances are very important, especially when the panel is intended for furniture in particularly hot and humid environments. One example is kitchen furniture where, in addition to heat resistance, high water and steam resistance is required.

The German Kitchen Association AMK has created a test to evaluate the vapor resistance of kitchen doors. Only polyurethane-based hot-melt adhesives manage to pass it.

Another issue to consider is transport. Today, export is an important part of all companies in the furniture supply chain for both finished and semi-finished products.
In containers or storage at ports, or during transport in the warmer months, temperatures can be very high, so HMPUR adhesives are the safest adhesives during transport in heat and humidity.

The glue families used for edgebanding

We can now compare the performance of traditional non-reactive (EVA and PO base) and reactive (HMPUR) hot melt adhesives.
These are the three families of hot melt glues most commonly used in general in the furniture market and especially in edgebanding, i.e. the application of edges on the sides of the panel (2 or four)

Economic and aesthetic evaluations

HMPUR adhesives allow them to
- Be applied at lower application temperatures (120-150°C). As opposed to the 180-210°C required to apply EVA-based adhesives or 190-210°C of PO-based adhesives.
- Use smaller quantities of adhesive. We are talking about 90-130 g/m2 for HMPUR adhesives versus 150-300 g/m2 for EVA and PO base

Lower adhesive consumption also means lower costs for the purchase of glue while guaranteeing an aesthetically pleasing result due to the very thin adhesive line.
The best aesthetic result is guaranteed if the HMPUR adhesives are applied with an applicator roller with a low swell (knurling).

In this way, the adhesive line will become 'almost invisible' and will be less exposed to water and steam attack.

If you want to know more, we look forward to seeing you at SICAM at stand A15, Hall 10
