Having successfully worked with Signbox on many previous occasions, Resonate Architects turned to them to help to bring this project together, with main contractor Parkeray, awarding Signbox the contract to produce and install graphics for a feature wall in the staff break-out area, glazing manifestations throughout the office area, and bespoke signage for six meeting rooms. Resonate and Signbox began collaboration on this project in January 2017, with the architects showing Signbox examples and ideas that Signbox was ultimately able to turn into reality. All elements of the project were installed on schedule in July 2017.

New Teflon™ Profile Nonstick Coating
Geneva, Switzerland, 10 February, 2017 – The Chemours Company (Chemours) (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in titanium technologies, fluoroproducts and chemical solutions, is introducing at Ambiente 2017 its Teflon™ Profile nonstick coating for cookware. Teflon™ Profile is based on a new technology that combines the proven, excellent nonstick properties of Teflon™ nonstick coating with long-term scratch resistance resulting in a coating surface that looks newer longer. This is a desirable feature for cooks, whether they are ambitious hobby cooks or professional users, as they need to worry less about using metal utensils and what the resulting scratches do to the surface. Cookware coated with Teflon™ Profile nonstick retains a newer looking surface even after long-term use. Available in the colours Crocodile Black, Shark Blue and Buffalo Copper, the coatings also add colour accents in the kitchen. The key to this advance in kitchen technology lies in the unique structure of this new, patent-pending coating. Chemours, a specialist in fluoropolymers, has engineered a coating that takes advantage of the performance characteristics of three integrated components. The first component, the primer, consists of the fluoropolymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with integrated ceramic reinforcement. As a basic layer, this provides […]
