The sublimation process is a two-step process. In the first step, the product being decorated is powder coated for protection and durability of the finish. In the second step, a pattern is transferred from a specially printed film to the surface of the powder coat by the process of sublimation. The result is an appearance that offers manufacturing advantages of metal, composites, and other durable materials with all of the beauty of wood, stone, or a myriad of other patterns. Sublimation finishes can be applied to metals, composites, glass, ceramics, woods, plastics, etc.. Surfaces can be 2 or 3 dimensional in shape. • Extrusion
