RESINFLEX, THE LEADING NAME IN WALL COVERING AND ARTIFICIAL LEATHER

Company News - Volume 3 / Sept-Dec 2010

* As an expert in flame retardant, antimicrobial and antibacterial products RESINFLEX has been a key player on the Italian and international market since 1947, and has a track record characterized by a long series of innovations and successes

The main reason for its pride is the company’s ability to be consistently proactive, thanks to its continuous commitment to research and quality. Such commitment has allowed them to contribute significantly to the technological development of an important branch of plastics, whose diffusion represents one of the great revolutions of the last century.

That same commitment sees RESINFLEX, now more than ever, engaged in a great challenge while fully upholding the traditions of professionalism, efficiency and rigorous controls, maintaining a spirit of collaboration in all commercial and productive sectors and constantly updating its production systems.

The first products have been vinyl coated on cotton for seats and walls of trains, flarge ships, hotels, clinics and hospitals, offices and homes. 
In the early '50s by the architect Carlo Mollino has used "Resinflex" for chairs and sofas designed by him (including the chair designed by Gio Ponti and Lisa). 
The same Gio Ponti often used Resinflex in the chairs for Cassina and for the wall and as upholstery for the hotel room at the IX Triennial exhibition in Milan. Today, RESINFLEX can count on an extensive portfolio of patented technologies and a vast range of products, including such well-known names as MURALFLEX, PARETEX, APHONFLEX, SETTECENTO, RESIMUR, DECORFLEX, AQUARELLE and SKINFLEX. All this has enabled the company to become the world market leader.

The widespread diffusion of its products, from large public construction works and interior decoration to the automotive and nautical industries, is the best evidence that its products provide the best and most effective solutions for all manner of requirements. Indeed, the company’s products combine resistance, longevity, safety and hygiene with comfort, warmth, creativity and functionality, whilst fully respecting the environment.

 Wall Coverings for Clinics and Hospitals

 Large surfaces and the necessity for absolute hygiene and safety are the requirements that characterize this particular market. The company’s coverings for clinics and hospitals distinguish themselves in a sector that demands the highest quality standards in conformance with strict and complex regulations.

RESINFLEX can boast extensive experience in this area too, where its primary objective is functionality, without forgetting, however, that aesthetics constitute an important element in establishing a pleasant and relaxed relationship between hospital structures and their users.

RESINFLEX coverings for clinics and hospitals are at the forefront of modern technology particularly with regard to their fireproof and antibacterial properties, which conform to international hygiene regulations. Our coverings guarantee excellent value for money, especially considering their high level of performance and ease of application, replacement and maintenance.

 APHONFLEX

 APHONFLEX is a vinyl fireproof self-extinguishing wall covering on a non-woven fabric support in cellulose and polyester that ensures an excellent balance between the absorption and reflection of sound waves.

It therefore satisfies the soundproofing requirements of hotels, hospitals, schools, offices and homes, and it is particularly suitable for theatres, auditoriums, congress halls and cinemas thanks to its sound reflection capacity which eliminates or minimizes echo.

DECORFLEX

DECORFLEX is based on a paper support which makes it particularly versatile, capable of combining all the qualities of vinyl coverings with those of conventional wallpapers. The product is ideal for all those environments where one does not want to forego the warmth and vivacity of fabric while maintaining the practicality and functionality that distinguishes all RESINFLEX products.

RESIMUR – AQUARELLE - VINILICO “R”

Wall-paper is certainly one of the most common coverings used for interior decoration, but they require very high technological and qualitative standards to guarantee that they are long-lasting, wear, tear and abrasion resistant, washable and above all, easy to apply.

These are the factors that have been studied long and hard in the RESINFLEX research and experimentation laboratories in order to develop its special wallpapers, RESIMUR-AQUARELLE and “VINILICO ‘R’”.

Produced in a wide range of colors at a very competitive price, they are vinyl coverings on a paper support, offering the highest possible performance levels on both a functional and aesthetic level.

MURALFLEX

An extensive portfolio of technologies and continuous research and development have led to the creation of MURALFLEX, the vinyl-fabric wall covering that has increased the performance levels of interior wall coverings.

MURALFLEX combines the warmth and pleasantness of fabric with the exceptional resistance, duration, hygiene and safety which are typical of vinyl products.

The range of colors and wefts available ensures the widest possible aesthetic choice whilst utilizing a vinyl fabric that satisfies all the functional requirements of residential buildings, hotels, clinics and offices.

PARETEX

Like Muralflex, this large surface covering is distinguished by its robust and versatile qualities, together with a competitive price compared to other wall treatments.

It’s compatibility with the use of any type of cleaning product, resistance to tears and abrasions, dimensional stability, color duration and its ease of application and maintenance are just some of the characteristics that put PARATEX ahead of the field, along with its ability to conform to even the strictest fire safety regulations.

SETTECENTO

When the need to personalize one’s surroundings is utmost, it is possible to enhance the walls of any environment with SETTECENTO, an ideal product which can meet the strictest of creative requirements as well as satisfying practical and functional needs.

Like all the other products in the company’s range, SETTECENTO also guarantees longevity, resistance, safety and hygiene without foregoing elegance and freedom of choice from a vast range of colors and wefts.

Its application is particularly appropriate when specific attention to the atmosphere of the premises in question is required, such as five-star hotels, professional offices and studios, congress halls, directors’ offices and prestigious residences.
