The doming process adds value to any shape or size non porous material by coating the surface with a thick layer of polyurethane resin up to approximately 4mm in height. Polyurethane resin is a very durable, tough, long lasting product which cannot be easily scratched or dented. In addition a good quality resin will not yellow when exposed to UV and should present no health and safety issues both in production and final application of the cured domed object.
Doming enhances the look and feel of a product and has many applications across different market sectors such as:
