21 IMO TREATED SURFACES leaving no salty residue on the veneer surface so you cannot see if it has been treated. Simply burning a small piece of veneer will confirm if it has been treated as treated veneers stop burning almost immediately after removing the source of flame. Is it possible to treat a dyed or technical veneer? Yes. Many of these veneers have been treated with no side effects or discolouration. We always recommend making tests to confirm this before treating a full project. How can treated veneers be jointed? Treated veneers can be jointed but it is necessary to make some small adjustments to machinery speed & temperature. What kind of adhesives can be used with treated veneers? PV and PU (Polyvinylacetat and Polyurethane) glues have been used successfully. Bonding should be carried out using the method shown on the certificate. Is it possible to stain treated veneers? Yes. Limartec® has been successfully certified together with stains. Does humidity and UV affect treated veneers? The cautious, non-aggressive treatment used for Limartec® products showed successful results in the following tests: humidity tests up to 90% relative air humidity, long term tests from - 20°C to 80°C +, UV exposure and pull off value. Treatment can make the surface more sensitive to UV light exposure but this can be controlled. In regards to climate impact, get in contact with us for a competent consultation.
