Testing of surface treatments
Surface treatment is the important part of the furniture. The quality of the surface treatment affects the appearance, useful, physical–mechanical and chemical properties of the final product surface, and thus the overall product quality. For the surface treatments, we test the achieved useful, physical–mechanical and antibacterial properties of the surface treatments.
