Decorative coating by sublimation

Under sublimation one understands in the finishing industry the transfer of paint/ink from a printed foil onto a polyester coating. This allows the decoration of subjects such as profiles, plates or floors with a decorative motiv. This happens under pressure and heat. The work- pieces to be decorated will be wrapped by the printed foil and the foil will be pressed  onto the surface by pressure or vaccum. Under the evidence of temperature the paint/ink oft he foil  will diffuse into the  polyester coating.

This process is less  used in Northern Europe. Phantasy can be without  limits. Theoretically any subject  can be imagined, but , widly accepted are mainly the immitation of wood motives such as wood  invarious  versions  for windows, tables, banks.  Also marble is very popular e.g. for tables and furnitures.  Because this process is used for wood imitation mainly,  SEF is marketing  this process  under the designation RealWood.
SEF supplies complete systems composed of conveyor, foil wrapping and pressing equipment for the industrial sublimation process. SEF is a leader in design of industrial sublimation systems.
