ILVA will be highlighting its wood coatings solutions at Architect@Work for 2019, which takes place in London Jan. 30-31.
The products are based on in-depth design research to create coating solutions that permit wood to be "transformed," taking on the aesthetic characteristics of other materials like metals, concrete, rust, ice, silk, marble or leather. Through simple coating operations, Ilva offers market solutions that can be extensively personalized, and are also ideal for small surfaces.
At Architect@Work visitors can see a new interpretation of classic metals, especially brushed metal, also shown in the unprecedented embossed and polished versions, examples of how wood can be coated with products that not only replicate other materials but also imitate their enhancement over time.
With a sophisticated contemporary character, these proposals have been created to respond to the needs of the world of decor and design.
Ilva’s research concentrates on sustainability. This research has led to the creation of Olio UV and Hecopur Bio, the new coatings developed with a “green” perspective.
UV OIL
The innovative UV Oil stands out for its lack of emissions thanks to a dry residue level of 100 percent that generates no VOC emissions and its 32 percent content of renewable raw material of botanical waste origin not suitable for human nutrition. These factors make it an environmentally friendly product.
The particular focus on issues of sustainability is combined with a high level of productivity, thanks to the use of UV technology that significantly cuts down drying time, making this oil a purely industrial product applicable with rollers, with or without brushing, with higher levels of chemical-physical strength with respect to traditional oxidative oils. The excellent penetration of the wood brings out the beauty of its grain, for an appealing natural look.
HECOPUR BIO
As part of the commitment to reduce the environmental impact of processes, products and services, Ilva developed the Hecopur Bio line of eco-friendly coatings.
Hecopur Bio is the line of polyurethane wood coatings allowing to obtain a dry film with the highest percentage ever achieved of a renewable raw material of botanical waste origin, not suitable for human nutrition.
These materials represent up to 50 percent of the composition of the film, as opposed to 35 percent for films made with other coatings, including water-based products.
Hecopur Bio can be applied to furniture, complements, doors and paneling, or even to children’s toys. The products in the line comply with EN 71-3:2013 regulations certifying the safety of toys, also in terms of their chemical composition.
SPECIAL EFFECTS – BRUSHED METALS
Special Effects is a wide range of material solutions of great aesthetic impact, capable of revealing and generating new characteristics in wood.
The products are based on in-depth design research to create coating solutions that permit wood to be "transformed," taking on the aesthetic characteristics of other materials like metals, concrete, rust, ice, silk, marble or leather. Through simple coating operations, Ilva offers market solutions that can be extensively personalized, and are also ideal for small surfaces.

With a sophisticated contemporary character, these proposals have been created to respond to the needs of the world of decor and design.
In the Effetti Speciali range by Ilva, the color, offered in multiple combinations of hues and textures, adds a sense of substance and volume to achieve original materic effects. The entire Effetti Speciali range is ideal for the surface finishing of cladding, paneling, furnishings and complements, which thus take on new aesthetic identities while conserving the advantages of wood as a ductile, light, eco-compatible and eco-sustainable material.
