Each of the parties involved offered its unique expertise: DSM provided the resin technology, ADLER\u2019s experts formulated the waterborne coatings, and DKG Group created the sustainable kitchen <\/em><em>furniture. The result? Not only is the final kitchen furniture eco-friendlier, enables lower carbon footprints and contains fewer volatile organic compounds, but the furniture coatings\u2019 durability, usability and functional performance are top of the range.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainability: A challenge and an opportunity\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The regulatory demands of the coating industry are continuously evolving \u2013 and generally becoming stricter \u2013 but in the mid-2000s, in particular, a series of European regulations were introduced to limit the types and quantities of solvents that could be used in consumer furniture. \u201cIt was around then that \u2018sustainability\u2019 began to be taken more seriously by furniture manufacturers around the world,\u201d says Francois Elst, Manager Quality &amp; Engineering, DKG Group, the company behind the kitchen brands Bruynzeel and Keller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt DKG Group, we\u2019ve always seen the development of eco-friendly kitchens as an opportunity to deliver on our social responsibilities, as well as a way to differentiate our product lines. Over the past decade and more, then, we\u2019ve been working with partners throughout the value chain to develop kitchen furniture that excels both in terms of function and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving forward through collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with any fundamental shift of direction, integrating higher levels of sustainability into their kitchen furniture was not something that DKG could do alone. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have been able to work together very closely with two great partners: DSM and ADLER,\u201d explains Francois. \u201cAbove all, they\u2019ve been able to offer their expertise and service as we phased out solventborne coatings, and introduced waterborne and waterborne UV-cured coatings, across all our lines and products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdler is very much used to working with partners throughout the value chain,\u201d says\u00a0Christian Sch\u00fctz, Key Account Manager, ADLER. \u201cFirst of all, we took into account the requirements of the customer, and made sure the aims were clear for all partners. In addition, the test methods for these coatings had to be fully validated. During the development process, an agile approach was crucial \u2013 and, after some sprints and working in the lab together, the ADLER and DSM teams created a strong understanding and made fast optimization steps.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9959\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2019\/10\/Mom-boy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mom-boy.jpg 859w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mom-boy-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mom-boy-768x678.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/>Time for market awareness to grow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Above all, the three-way collaboration was put in place to address the end user demands of kitchen furniture coatings. \u201cThere is, perhaps, a certain prejudice against waterborne coatings in the kitchen furniture market,\u201d says Francois. \u201cThere is a feeling that waterborne coatings cannot perform as well as solventborne coatings \u2013 but this is simply not the case. Waterborne coatings can meet \u2013 and exceed \u2013 all customer demands, without a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaterborne coating technology resins developed by DSM are highly adaptable and can be used in a wide range of applications within the kitchen segment,\u201d adds Christian. \u201cWhether it\u2019s their durability or usability, our waterborne coatings, that are based on these resins, can deliver top performance \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve shown at DKG over the past few years. Now the market has to understand that their specific demands can be met reliably and consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stronger than ever functional performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, for the end market to fully appreciate the value proposition of waterborne coatings, it is crucial for the kitchen furniture itself to deliver excellent performance. \u201cBy Q3 2019, all of our kitchen furniture will be coated with waterborne UV coatings,\u201d says Francois. \u201cAnd I\u2019m fully confident of the functional performance we can offer our customers with these products. In part thanks to their coatings, DKG furniture pieces can withstand the most exacting challenges of kitchen everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThanks to our close work with DSM, we\u2019ve been able to develop coatings that can deliver the high functional performance levels required by the furniture segment,\u201d says Christian. \u201cSpecifically, these waterborne UV coatings have to be fast drying, and have a very wide processing window, which means solid workmanship of the varnish. In addition, these coatings have to deliver consistent quality, and fulfill all the requirements for chemical and mechanical resistance. In short, our waterborne UV varnishes can offer the same functional performance as solventborne varnishes \u2013 and in some cases can even surpass them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A greener reality for kitchen furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there is one area, though, where waterborne coatings can clearly and significantly outperform conventional coatings, it is in terms of their sustainability value. \u201cBy developing furniture with these sustainable coatings, we\u2019re really offering our customers the opportunity to have kitchens that\u00a0<em>look<\/em>\u00a0good and\u00a0<em>are<\/em>\u00a0good \u2013 for people and the planet,\u201d says Francois. \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased to be addressing the growing consumer demand for sustainable kitchen furniture \u2013 and we can only see this demand growing further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, DSM and ADLER are equally intent on enabling a more sustainable future for furniture. \u201cAt ADLER, we pioneered waterborne varnishes for the furniture industry. Our motto has long been \u2018clean work \u2013 clean environment\u2019. Environmental protection has driven the profile of our company, and \u2013 like at DSM \u2013 it is part of our DNA. Thanks to the unique qualities of DSM\u2019s resins, our coatings have significantly lower carbon footprints and contain fewer volatile organic compounds. As such, this is a great step toward a greener future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9960\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2019\/10\/iStock-896315974-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/iStock-896315974-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/iStock-896315974-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/iStock-896315974-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A bright, bio-based horizon ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And, while DKG\u2019s transition from solventborne to waterborne coatings has already improved the sustainability profile of their kitchen furniture, a new point on the horizon is in place: bio-based coatings. \u201cWe were one of the first kitchen furniture manufacturers to embrace waterborne coatings \u2013 and, moving forward, we\u2019d be keen to see how we could integrate bio-based coatings,\u201d says Francois Elst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, perfection is impossible to achieve,\u201d says Christian. \u201cBut, for sure \u2013 bio-based approaches are the focus of the future. And sustainability includes a lot more than renewable raw materials: high-end products with long lifetimes, as well as material efficiency and the possibility to close the material cycles are firmly on the agenda moving forward. Together with partners like DSM and DKG, I\u2019m confident that our contributions to sustainable kitchen furniture are only just beginning!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsm.com\/markets\/paint\/en\/technologies\/waterborne.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9958\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2019\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-08-at-9.00.15-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-08-at-9.00.15-AM.png 433w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-08-at-9.00.15-AM-300x117.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few years, a close cross-value chain collaboration between DSM, ADLER and DKG has enabled the latter to successfully leverage waterborne coating technology to create high-quality, sustainable kitchen furniture.
