Polymerized 200ºC with nano-ceramics and non-grease treatments to improve better covering and provide then better resistance and lasting. 2 – Coating 80-90 micron thickness (it could be different as per the project requirements). This covering guarantees the finish and maintenance of metal structures. 3 – Painting process: Actiu painting plant has minimum environmental impact against the traditional industry processes. Treatment is done by polarized coating and compacted with temperature. We get homogeneous and regular application with 98% of painting and the remaining 2% is used to produce other paints. Paints used are COVs free (Volatile Organic Components) which are very dangerous for the environment. All water used in the process is re-used, so we get zero dump. 4 – Antibacterial finish (Optional) ACTIU reserves the right to make technical modifications along with changes to measurements and finishes as it deems fit.

Scratches: Use a protector that protects surfaces against marks, scratches and Lift objects up whenever possible. The majority of scratches are made by dragging objects across the wood. Plastic and Rubber: Some plastics contain components that contain soft material. When you put some wooden objects on this which contain some components which may damage the finish, resulting in shades or prints. To avoid this, use flet or leather mats on the table. Do not use mats covered in plastic. Avoid leaving plastic folders or files on the table preventing the wood “breathing”. Light effects: As with leather, wood changes over time. Light - affects wood which causes a change in colour. Each species of wood changes. Some adopt a warm tone while others become darker or lighter. Move objects and accessories frequently so as to avoid shadows on the wooden surface. Reflection: Trees contain a “vascular” system of fibres which carry the sap to every corner. These fibres cause the wood to reflect light in different ways, depending on how it is made up. For example, a table and extension, having different fibres will look like different shades. But if you walk around, you will notice how the light changes on work surfaces and the effects of brightness and velvet on the wood. Avoid temperatures and extreme humidity. Clean with any Commercial products suitable for cleaning and maintenance for treated wood surfaces, wax basis, aliphatic hydrocarbon or seed oil surfactant. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Remove stains. Do not use products with silicon. www.actiu.com 44 Technical Profile FEATURES Fabrics Each material has a specific feature, albeit technical or aesthetic. If the stain has dried, try to remove the excess by hand or by using a brush. Place a cleaner on the stain and continue with a PH neutral cleaner with a neutral cleaning agent such as soapy water. It is important to rinse with clean water. Types of stains: Oil: Treat with a solvent or treat with a colour fixing agent. Alcohol: Fresh stains: Treat with a household vinegar and rinse immediately. Dried Stains: Treat with a whitening oxidizing agent. Pen: Treat with a colour fixing agent. Coffee: Fresh stains: Treat with household vinegar, and rinse immediately.

Wipe gently. Use a cream once or twice a year. Do not use shoe polish. Types of stains. Water: Soak and leave to dry before brushing. Pen: Alcohol 90% Coffee: Mix water with a little ammonia. Grease: Apply a grease solvent spray. Leave to dry. Brush. Wax stains: Apply a grease solvent spray. Leave to dry. Brush. Other stains: Consult with a specialist. Pen: Warm skimmed milk and lemon juice. Water based felt-tips: Water and if neccessary a little bit of lemon. Permanent Ink: Cannot be removed It is recommended that you clean the upholstery every two weeks, to prevent an accumulation of dirt ( for example skin particles that can be inserted into the fabric.) Visitors chairs need less cleaning than work chairs which are used daily. It is essential to use a soft fibre brush on a vacuum to prevent damage to the fabric surface. The dried in dirt on the surface will disappear after a thorough cleaning. As for wet marks and stains that will not disappear after cleaning with a vacuum, we suggest the following solutions: Mix water with a PH neutral cleaner. The temperature of the water must be between 25 and 35 degrees. A running liquid may also be used but don´t overdose. Clean the stains several times, using a soft fabric until they are no longer perceptible. It is essential not to use too much water and avoid soaking the foam, which could damage the chair. After 3 washes, rinse with water. Press with a dry fabric against the other fabric to remove the moisture as much as possible. If the result is not completely satisfactory, repeat the process. www.actiu.com 46
