Product safety

• 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.
• This product follows the REACH regulation EC 1907/2006 an article. Following Article 7 it does not need to be registered.
• We manufacture the panels without the use of halogens, heavy metals, preservatives, wood protectors or organic solvents.

Special

• You can find comprehensive accessories for our worktop range at www.pfleiderer.com.
• Depending on the decor and surface texture, slightly different surface visual impressions can result between cut panels viewed from different angles. This is a result of the production methods and does not constitute a quality defect.
• Especially for large applications, we recommend paying attention to the colour and texture uniformity of the boards and cut products used when further processing and installing and that the production direction is taken into account.
• The smoother the structure and the the darker the decor, the more sensitive it is to stains.
• Core colour: similar U12188
• Due to the grey core of the material, minor decorative deviations to other products cannot be avoided.
• For production-related reasons, there may be minor colour variations in the grey material core.
• Due to the material core, Duropal Compact Worktops with a grey core are slightly harder and more brittle than Compact Worktops with a black material core. These will tend to warp more severely in case of climatic fluctuations.
• Decor-structure-combination front side = Decor-structure-combination reverse side
• Due to the processing (chamfer, grind and saw) slight colour variations of the coloured material core may occur.
• Subsequent oiling (with suitable cooking oil) of the machined edge can reduce machining and wear marks.
• Please note that in everyday use, polishing, scratches and shiny spots may occur due to mechanical stress, which are particularly visible on darker decors. This does not represent a quality defect or a restriction of usability. Rather, it reflects the natural ageing of the surface. The product complies with all requirements of EN 438.
• With PEFC-certification.

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

• Especially for large applications, we recommend paying attention to the colour and texture uniformity of the boards and cut products used when further processing and installing and that the production direction is taken into account.
• 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.
• We recommend carrying out your own tests depending on the respective application and material requirement.
• For further information, please refer to our processing recommendation "Duropal HPL Compact / Duropal Compact Worktop".

Machines and tools

• Can be worked with carbide (HW) or diamond (DP) tipped tools on conventional woodworking machines.
• For further information, please refer to our processing recommendation "Duropal HPL Compact / Duropal Compact Worktop".

Installation and assembly

• Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to the future use.
• Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.
• For further information, please refer to our processing recommendation "Duropal HPL Compact / Duropal Compact Worktop".

Storage, handling and transport

• Foreign bodies or impurities in the pallet of sheets can lead to impressions and damage to the surface of the board.
• For further information, please refer to our processing recommendation "Duropal HPL Compact / Duropal Compact Worktop".

Health and safety

• Please wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when processing and handling.
• For further information, please refer to our processing recommendation "Duropal HPL Compact / Duropal Compact Worktop".

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
