Processing
- Please respect the recommendations of the GKV trade associaton for the processing of high pressure laminates.
- For the production of composite elements we recommend a symmetric construction. This means both sides identical HPL. If backing material (also HPL) is used, there is a risk of shape distortion (bowing). Tests will be necessary.
- Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to future use.
Storage and handling
- On all level surfaces (e.g. pallets), in dry, vented rooms.
Disposal
- Energy recovery is recommended.
