        • uniRASE Dry Erase CoatingsUNICHEM’s NANO technology offers enhanced levels of scuff resistance and durability to either the uniRASE 300 or 500 series of dry erase technology. UNICHEM’s Solution to Dry Erase Coatings Challenges While dry erase boards have been around for decades, the industry offered limited choices with either heavy glass, a costly porcelain finish board or an economical laminate film. The less expensive options delivered poor performance with ghosting (not erasing completely), premature wear and required frequent cleaning. Traditional dry erase coatings still had limitations without post-forming capability, offering only rectangular boards or panels inserted into frames. With increased popularity of dry erase technology, a more cost-effective, efficient manufacturing process was needed to expand the market.  Dry erase coatings coil applied to steel substrates enable office product and dry erase board manufacturers to expand the possibilities with dry erase doors, panels, cubicles, 3D shapes or curved surfaces. uniRASE provides dry erase board manufacturers a surface that minimizes ghosting and shadowing, always keeping your white board fresh and ready to use. UNICHEM has developed dry erase technology for coil coated substrates that can be post-formed to accommodate manufacturers and end users. uniRASE delivered the solution with dry erase technology to meet the needs…
