Product features

Product standard

  • In accordance with EN 438-3

Density

  • Min. 1,350 kg/m³

Reaction to fire

  • Normally flammable
  • Euroclass D-s2,d0 or worse in connection with normally and easily inflammable core boards. (EN 13501-1, CWFT conforming to 2003/593/EG)

Volume resistance RD

  • 1 x 104–1 x 109 Ohm (EN 61340-5-1)
  • Measured dry, measurement voltage 100 V DC, cylindrical electrode, 20–30 °C and 20–50% rel. humidity (96 h conditioning)

Formaldehyde emission class

  • E1 E05

Product safety

  • This product follows the REACH regulation EC 1907/2006 an article. Following Article 7 it does not need to be registered.
  • 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.

Special

  • Available in design W10140 Frontal White and U12188 Light Grey.
  • 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.

Product handling

Processing

  • Please respect the recommendations of BLFA (www.blfa.co.uk) an ICDLI (www.icdli.com) for the processing of high-pressure laminates.
  • 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.

Edging

  • Basically, there is no conductive edging material
  • In general, the edging is not critical for the function of the product

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 consider during construction and fitting that in ESD protection zones (EPA) the ESD work stations have to be earthed (same electrostatic potential of all elements). This can be achieved construcionally via a connection of the conductive elements of one EPA with an EPA-earth.
    Conductive materials which are fitted insulating are rechargable and therefore a risk potential.
  • Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.
  • Please contact your ESD consultant or use corresponding technical literature for further information and concrete realisation instructions.

Storage, handling and transport

  • On level, full area surfaces (e.g. pallets), protected against moisture, in dry, ventilated rooms. Outdoor storage is not suitable.
  • Please note that incorrect storage, regardless of its duration, may cause irreversible distortion to the sheets.
  • Foreign bodies and any impurities in the stack of boards or any sharp or heavy objects can lead to impressions or damage to the surface of the board.
  • 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.

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.
  • The use of cleaning products, cloths, sponges with abrasive ingredients, should be avoided.
  • For removal of particularly stubborn stains, industrial cleaners suitable for plastic surfaces can be used. Before use we would recommend testing in a small, hidden area.
  • The impact of water and cleaning agents should be limited to a short time period, drop quantities and standing water should be avoided. Please wipe the surface with a fluff free cloth allover and efficient dry.

Disposal

  • We recommend material or energy recovery in approved plants.
