PET surface technology
Beautiful by design.
Built for daily life.
PET decorative panels pair a refined polymer surface with a stable board core, creating a consistent finish for furniture, cabinetry and interior applications.
Surface familyPET / PET EB
The material
What is a
PET panel?
PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate—a durable thermoplastic used here as a decorative surface film.
The film is laminated to a selected board core to create a smooth, repeatable face. Depending on the collection, the surface can be super matte, high gloss, solid-colour or metallic.
How it comes together
A considered surface system.
Every layer has a role—from the finished face to the structural core and matching reverse layer.

- 01
Decorative PET face
Provides the colour, sheen, tactile quality and easy-care surface.
- 02
Controlled lamination
Bonds the decorative film evenly across the board.

Balanced construction
A coordinated reverse layer supports panel stability.
Why specify PET
Refined appearance.
Practical performance.
Easy everyday care
A smooth surface designed for straightforward routine cleaning.
Machining friendly
Suitable for accurate cutting, drilling and coordinated edge banding.
Design flexibility
Available across matte, gloss, solid and metallic visual directions.
PET EB vs traditional methods
A modern alternative,
application by application.
Compare PET EB with familiar surface systems according to appearance, fabrication and day-to-day performance.
01
Conventional UV-coated panels
Electron Beam curing does not rely on conventional UV photoinitiators.
PET EB can offer stronger colour stability and abrasion resistance, with refined super-matte, gloss and metallic finishes.
Consider forCabinet fronts, wardrobes and joinery requiring a consistent premium finish.
02
Real-metal laminates
Lighter and generally easier to process, with wider colour and texture selection.
More consistent across batches and less exposed to the oxidation risk associated with real metal.
Consider forMetal-look retail fixtures, feature walls and architectural cabinetry.
03
High-pressure laminate
A smoother, more contemporary visual language with strong super-matte and anti-fingerprint positioning.
Can make coordinated panel and edge-band finishes easier to achieve.
Consider forMinimal kitchens, wardrobes and furniture with coordinated edges.
04
Acrylic surfaces
PET EB can provide a softer super-matte appearance with anti-fingerprint performance.
Metallic PET EB broadens the architectural finish range while supporting scratch resistance.
Consider forPremium matte furniture, touch surfaces and metallic statement pieces.
Final performance depends on the selected film, core, lamination system, edge treatment and certified product specification.
Electron Beam curing
What does
EB add?
Electron Beam curing uses accelerated electrons to cross-link a coating at the surface. In decorative materials, this can create a dense cured layer designed to support wear, stain and weather resistance.
Performance varies by product specification. Confirm the relevant technical data for your selected colour, finish and core.

Care guidance
Simple maintenance.
Use a soft damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents and prolonged standing moisture. Always follow the care instructions supplied with the selected finish.
