Arauco moves into embossed-in-register textured TFL laminate panel for Prism line
By Bill Esler
ATLANTA, Ga. - Arauco introduced a new series of distinct thermally fused laminate (TFL) designs to its  Prism collection.
 
The Prism brand was introduced in 2015 to represent Arauco's collection of TFL designs in North America. A spectrum of styles and trend setting designs available in exclusive and popular classics, Prism is making a big splash in the design community, the company says.
 
The new Taction Oak series utilizes embossed in register (Arauco called it 'EIR') technology to capture and replicate the natural characteristics of an oak grain texture on the plate itself. This technology infuses a natural look and feel to create true-to-life laminated panels that rival the experience and authenticity of wood.
 
Arauco's Taction Oak Series is comprised of five contemporary colors:
  • WF432 Alabaster
  • WF433 ArgentoWF434 Gibraltar
  • WF435 Palomino
  • WF436 Kodiak
Ranging from a light grey hue to deep brown, these designs work in any application and can make a bold statement. The Taction Oak Series will be on display at IWF (Booth #3237) and this product will be available through Prism distributors after the show. To view these designs, find a local distributor and for more about Prism TFL, visit the Prism website: www.prismTFL.com.
