Revolutionary NP® technology: A new chapter in wood finishing

A particularly innovative approach in wood coating is the application of NP® technology, which transforms the organic structure of wood into an inorganic structure. This ground-breaking technology marks a turning point in the fire resistance of wood by significantly reducing its flammability. This process, which occurs without any visible or tactile changes to the wood, opens up new dimensions for the use of wood in areas where fire protection is of the utmost priority. The NP® technology operates at the molecular level to alter the cell structure of the wood, giving it an inorganic texture. This transformation ensures that the wood does not ignite under heat exposure but forms a charred protective layer that slows the spread of fire. This property is particularly valuable in modern architecture and furniture construction, where safety must be guaranteed without compromising aesthetics. 

Aesthetics and safety hand in hand 

What is impressive about NP® technology is that it leaves the optical and tactile qualities of the wood unchanged. This means that designers and architects do not have to choose between beauty and safety. Wood treated with this technology retains its natural warmth and texture while simultaneously providing outstanding protection. This opens up new possibilities for the use of wood in demanding environments, from public buildings to high-end residential projects. 

A step towards the future 

The introduction of NP® technology in wood finishing is an example of how innovative research and development can push the boundaries of what is possible with natural materials. It represents a significant advance in the effort to create materials that are both environmentally friendly and safe, without compromising on design quality. In a time when sustainable and conscious building is becoming increasingly important, NP® technology offers a forward-looking solution that significantly improves the longevity and safety of wood constructions.
