Established in the aviation sector, Chameleon Products is now bringing its decorative technology to the rail industry. Chameleon Products can make plastic, composite materials and most other substrates look like different materials. It can, for example, make plastic look like marble or wood. Components, which can be complex in shape or pattern, are decorated with the desired pattern using a number of technologies, including a water- and ink-based transfer printing system. The component is then finished with a hardened lacquer. "We've been very successful in the aviation sector, where our technology meets the stringent certification requirements, and now we're offering the technology to the train sector," says Trevor Whetter, managing director at Chameleon Products. Chameleon's technology features on 15 executive jets, and on the first-class seats and bar units of A380 and B787 Dreamliner aircraft. The same products have also been used to redecorate aircraft toilets.
