Nardi Fiberglass-Reinforced Hospitality Dining Tables: The Definitive 2025-2026 Commercial Guide (≈ 5000 words) # Chapter 1 – The Science Behind: Why Nardi Resin Is Nothing Like than “Cheap Plastic” Not every resin is identical. Customers believe “plastic table = low-cost garden furniture.” Nardi is the complete opposite of that stereotype. 1. Pure virgin (virgin) polypropylene + glass-fiber reinforced Budget tables use regrind or heavy fillers. Nardi uses exclusively first-quality resin approved for outdoor UV maximum UV resistance (top level). 2. Anti-UV package co-engineered with global leader BASF The masterbatch includes high-performance HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) and UV absorbers that migrate to the top over time, creating a self-repairing barrier from fading and fading. Third-party Xenon-arc testing (ISO 4892-2) show < ∆E 2 after 5000 hrs (comparable to 10–12 Florida years). 3. DurelTOP patented double-layer top (2019–present) The outer 3 mm is pigmented resin with enhanced UV protection; the core is same family core material. If ever someone manages to damage the top (nearly not possible), the color underneath is matching – no black core showing like most rival tables. 4. Glass-fiber strengthening in frames and frames Improves rigidity by approximately 300%. A 80×80 cm table with four people dancing on it deflects < 3 mm (tested by TÜV). 5. No porous surface → never stains build-up Unlike teak or HPL, spills can’t soak in. Hygiene inspectors accept it instantly. Outcome: a dining table that appears like new following 8–12 summers of professional abuse.
