MATERIALS AND MAINTENANCE
The products of the EMU range, made with materials featuring the highest quality standards and using environmentally
friendly production processes, are designed to be long-lasting.
- ABS
ABS is a thermoplastic techno-polymer that, once stabilised, resists well even against UV radiation and can therefore
be used outside. It has strong mechanical features even at low temperatures and has high strength, impact and scratch
resistance. These features make it ideal for use in a range of sectors, including furnishing.
Maintenance: clean the product with a soft, damp cloth. Use neutral detergents, if possible diluted in water. Do not use
detergents containing alcohol, trichloroethylene, ammonia or other solvents, even in small quantities.
- Aluminium
Aluminium alloys, particularly suitable for cold-working and for die-casting, appropriately treated to withstand the elements
and powder coated.
Maintenance: to keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend cleaning it regularly; more often in
very damp locations with a marine climate. It is recommended to clean the surfaces using a soft cloth with water or mild
detergents. Prolonged and continuous exposure to intense UV radiation or very low temperatures can affect the initial
characteristics of the coloured coating, which is made from polyester. We recommend cleaning and storing the products
in sheltered places during prolonged periods of non-use and during the winter.
- Eco-leather
The eco-leather is made of compacted Nylon micro-fibre in polyurethane bath. It is then coated with polyurethane of the
same colour.
Maintenance: to ensure the long life of the eco-leather, use a mild detergent and soft cloth to clean it. Over time, eco-leather
will acquire delicate signs of use that increase its beauty and give it greater depth and allure.
- Elastic belt
Obtained by weaving synthetic materials such as propylene fibres (71%) and synthetic rubber thread (29%), enabling it to
be used outside.
Maintenance: avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances and/or dyes, which may be absorbed by the coating
material causing permanent staining and deterioration of the yarn structure. Do not use solvents or solvent-based
detergents (avoid using acetone). Use water and non-abrasive colourless liquid detergents with neutral PH. Leave the
detergent to react on for a few minutes, if required. Rinse thoroughly with water at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.
If pressurised devices are used, keep the diffuser tip at least 60 / 70 cm away from the surface of the item. Repeat the
operation if necessary.
- EMU-Tex
It is a technical fabric for outdoor use made with polyvinyl chloride thread. It features exceptional strength to ensure durability:
maximum resistance to UV rays, the elements, humidity and sudden changes in temperature.
Maintenance: avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances and/or dyes, which may be absorbed by the coating
material, causing permanent staining and deterioration of the yarn structure. Frequent washing: use water and non-abrasive,
colourless liquid detergents with neutral PH. Leave the detergent to react for a few minutes, if required Rinse thoroughly
with water at a temperature not exceeding 30°C. If pressurised devices are used, keep the diffuser tip at least 60/70 cm
away from the surface of the item. Repeat the operation if necessary. Periodic and/or extraordinary washing: use a
regenerating stain remover for PVC, following the procedure below. Operations to be performed:
- apply the stain remover to the dirty fabric;
- allow the product to act for 15-30 minutes;
- rub the stained area using a common hard-bristle laundry brush (phase is necessary since the dirt is inside the weaving);
- rinse with running water (if possible rinse using a high-pressure cleaner, remaining at a distance of approx. 60 cm so as
not to damage the fabric with the high pressure);
- repeat the operations if necessary.
Note: when applying the product, pay attention not to apply it to the painted parts of the product.
- HPL
Self-supporting material suitable for outdoor exposure. It consists of layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resins
and of a decorative surface layer impregnated with thermosetting resins. These layers are pressed at 9 Mp and at a
temperature of 150 degrees centigrade.
Maintenance: HPL laminate is easy to clean and does not require special maintenance. Most stains can be washed
with just clean water and dried with soft and clean cloths. For stubborn stains, use a sponge and a specific detergent for
laminates or detergents for glass surfaces. Remove all traces of detergents using a dry cloth to prevent streaks or dulling.
We recommend trying all products in hidden corner. Avoid using steel wool pads, products containing abrasive creams,
powder detergents and acetone.
- Porcelain stoneware
Thanks to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, porcelain stoneware is ideal for outdoor use, since it is resistant
to atmospheric corrosion and unaffected by UV exposure. Its qualities allow it to be water and oil repellent. Porcelain
stoneware is obtained via the synthesizing process of ceramic clay, feldspar, kaolin and sand. These raw materials undergo
grinding and atomization until a homogeneous particle size, suitable for pressing, is obtained. Firing takes place at 1150-1250°C
for approx. 25-30 minutes in order to determine the ceramization of the mixture, ensuring the typical resistance to abrasion.
Maintenance: the stoneware surfaces can be cleaned easily and do not require particular maintenance interventions.
