FAQ
Using our own proprietary system of powder coated aluminum profiles:
IMDcabinets is an innovative system based on extruded aluminum profiles which are powder coated. All aluminum components are clipped together. Our exclusive clip system combined with the powder coated finish allows IMDesign to avoid all glues or materials with any toxic content such as paint or varnishes. The clipped aluminum profiles also hide assembly components providing cleaner surfaces.
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. Aluminum is pushed or pulled through a die of the desired cross-section. https://youtu.be/Bc7o_sEdX8U
IMDesign has its very own proprietary dies to produce its profiles at different partner facilities in Europe and North America.
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". (source: Wikipedia). Powder coating therefore has no VOCs and is 100% non-toxic. Powder coating, as well as adding a protective layer that avoids natural occurring rust, allows for an unlimited variety of colours. Architects and design professionals love this feature!
