Why 2 PAC
A painted finish with practical depth.
2 PAC combines colour and texture choice with a durable hardened polyurethane surface suited to cupboards, doors, furniture and MDF components.
What it is
A two-part polyurethane coating, sprayed onto each component.
Once cured, 2 PAC forms a hardened painted surface with resistance to heat, moisture and staining, making it a practical finish for MDF.
It can also be considered when a project needs more colour, texture or finish flexibility than a sheet material naturally provides.
2 PAC and laminate
Two different ways to finish MDF.
This is a material distinction, not a blanket claim that one choice is right for every project.
| Consideration | 2 PAC finish | Laminate finish |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Sprayed individually onto each component. | A sheet product wrapped and glued to MDF. |
| Surface | A durable hardened painted coating. | A laminated outer layer over the board. |
| Design choice | Available in a broad range of colours, textures and finishes. | Selected from the available laminate range. |
| Repair and care | Repairable and simple to clean with the right care. | Repair approach depends on the laminate, edge and extent of damage. |
| Right brief | Useful when the project calls for a sprayed painted surface. | Useful when the project calls for a sheet finish. |
