Product safety

• This product follows the REACH regulation EC 1907/2006 an article. Following Article 7 it does not need to be registered.
• The surface is physiologically safe, and approved for direct contact with food acc. to Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.
• The decorative surface and the core consists of paper layers, which are impregnated with thermosetting resins. The resins harden completely during the manufacturing process by heat and high-pressure. They form a stable, resistant and non-reactive material.
• We manufacture the panels without the use of halogens, heavy metals, preservatives, wood protectors or organic solvents.

Special

• Full-size boards have a non-magnetic, visible border approx. 30 mm wide.
• Due to the insertion of the metal mesh (ferromagnetic inlay), there will be optical deviations in the structure compared to standard products.
• Cut to size is not available.
• HG texture is recommended for writing on with standard board markers, textures VV and MP for writing on with blackboard chalk.
• Real metal surfaces are not possible.
• FSC certification or PEFC certification available on request.

Colour and surface match

• Decor, structure and core board all influence the final appearance of the end product.
• Due to the product-specific differences in production technologies, even identical decor/structure/core board combinations can result in slight optical and tactile deviations across different product groups and formats. Such deviations do not constitute a defect.
• The choice of surface structure in particular has a significant influence on the visual impression, the tactile perception as well as the technical characteristics of the product. Thus, the overall impression of a decor can change almost completely depending on the surface structure. Furthermore, mechanical influences on the product surface can lead to a higher contrast optical perception with dark decors.
• To ensure that you always achieve the best results with our products and to clarify any deviations in advance, we will be happy to advise you individually.

Processing

• Single sheet cut with the decorative side facing up.
• In general watch out for flying sparks! Switch-off any extraction / vacuum.
• We recommend that the boards to be processed are earthed to avoid electrostatic charges.
• Please pay attention on your cutting plan to the 30 mm wide, non-magnetic edge of the boards.
• For the production of flat-bonded panels we recommend a symmetric construction. This means both sides should be identical HPL. If backing material (also HPL) is used, there is a risk of bowing.
• Please respect the recommendations of BLFA (www.blfa.co.uk) an ICDLI (www.icdli.com) for the processing of high-pressure laminates.
• Trial cuts are recommended.

Machines and tools

• Machining can be carried out on all common machining equipment and processing apparatus.
• All carbide tipped tools with firmly soldered blades and drawing cut are suitable, do not use diamond tools.
• Metal inserts lead to reduced tool life.
• Processing with circular trimming saw with parallel stop:
  - TC-tipped circular sawblade Leitz ‚FerroFix’, tooth shape FZFA/FZFA, ID No. 2000636 / 2000322
  - RPM: 1000 U/min
  - Feed rate: 5 m/min
  - Tooth feed rate: 0,06 mm
  - Cutting Speed: 18,8 m/s
  - Sawblade protrusion: 15 - 20 mm
  - Scorers suitable for the saw blade are to be used, the cutting speed should also be approx. 20 m/s
  - Vibrations in the board are generally to be avoided
• Working with machining centres:
  – Sawblade Leitz ‚DryCut’, tooth shape FZFA/FZFA, ID No. 169002 / 169003 / 169004 / 169005
  – RPM: 1350 U/min
  – Feed rate: 3 m/min
  – Tooth feed rate: 0,03 mm
  – Cutting Speed: 18,0 m/s
  – Score in down-cut
  – Cut in up-cut
  – Vibrations in the board are generally to be avoided
  – Saw blade running is to be checked first – if necessary make adjustments to the machine (spindle – saw blade)

Installation and assembly

• Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be at the normal climatic conditions in which the material will later be used.
• Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.

Storage, handling and transport

• The material must be stored flat, level and horizontal on clean surfaces at normal climatic conditions (Temperature 18–25 °C, relative humidity 50–65 %).
• Protect from moisture and wet conditions.
• Avoid direct exposure to heat and any possible dehydration of the surfaces by light- or heat radiation or by air currents from heating- or air conditioning systems.
• Foreign bodies or impurities in the pallet of sheets can lead to impressions and damage to the surface of the board.
• Sheets / boards must not be moved against each other, they should be moved individually by hand or with suction equipment.
• Ensure that sufficiently large and sturdy bases, e.g. pallets, are used for the transportation of stacked sheets. The sheets on the pallet must be secured against slipping.
• Please note that incorrect storage, regardless of its duration, may cause irreversible distortion to the sheets.

Health and safety

• Please wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when processing and handling.
• Provide adequate extraction when splitting / sanding.

Cleaning and care

• The surface can be cleaned with water and gentle cleaning agents. To remove stubborn stains, please observe the recommendations in the data sheet "Cleaning of HPL surfaces" (www.icdli.com).

Disposal

• We recommend material or energy recovery in approved plants.
