Real aluminium foil pressed with a direct coating process directly onto a fine particle surface chipboard type P2 according to EN 312.

Core material

  • Chipboard type P2
  • Wood chipboard with fine particle surface type P2 according to EN 312.

Density (depending on thickness)

  • 670 kg/m³ — 700 kg/m³ ± 10 % (EN 323)

Reaction to fire

  • normally inflammable

Formaldehyde emission class

  • E1 (EN 120)

Chemical resistance

  • Resistant against liquids used in househoulds not containing any solvents.

Cleaning and care

  • Any type of stains must be removed immediately. Slight soiling shall be removed with a moist cloth and a neutral/intensive cleaner. Always use only soft cleaning cloths even on stubborn dirt. The surface must be cleaned with a clean cleaning cloth afterwards. Do not use solvents or harsh cleaning agents!

Product safety

  • The material is not rated as hazardous material.
  • We manufacture the panels without the use of halogens, heavy metals, preservatives, wood protectors or organic solvents.
  • This product is following the REACH regulation EG 1907/2006 an article. Following Article 7 it needs not to be registered.

Sustainability

  • Thermopal wood chipboard is a environmentally friendly wood material. We use approx. 65% wood offcuts from industry, obtained in the processing of round timber, plus industrial wood from forests in the region.
  • We are supporting sustainable forestry in line with international standards. Ecological, economical and social criteria are all taken equally into account.
  • We support the preservation of wood as a natural resource in the sense of a recycling economy by using approx. 35% of our source material from scrap wood of category A I and A II in accordance with the regulations of the scrap wood ordnance. By recycling these materials, we are also making an important contribution towards binding carbon and reducing hazardous carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere.

Special

  • Back in white melamine resin coating upon request (durability not warranted)
  • The metal foil has got a longitudinal joint at 1,350 mm (two sheets)
  • Usable length min. 2,730 mm.
  • Texture 77 (Parallel) available on one side starting at a thickness of 13 mm.
  • Texture 77 (Parallel) is only available on Alu 4.
  • The aluminium foil used for the decorative surface is a real metal. This can cause, compared to classical decorative papers, certain optical surface effects and higher differences in the colour connection.
  • Please consider that metal surfaces react more sensitive to scratch, impact and abrasion purposes than melamine surfaces. Also the chemical resistance is comparatively lower.
  • Cut to size is not available.

Processing

  • Processing with protective foil is recommended. Dirt inclusions as well as heavy or sharp objects can leave pressure marks on the surface.
  • Face side face up on machining table, flashes can be removed using a fine file or sandpaper. Avoid flashes by using a pulling cut, and mill at a low speed, preferably synchronised.
  • Can be worked with carbide tipped tools on conventional woodworking machines.

Machines and tools

  • We recommend the use of fixed equipment.

Edging

  • Thick and thin edges are suitable.
  • EVA and PUR hotmelts are recommended for edge adhesion.

Fitting technology

  • All conventional removable and non-removable fittings for solid wood and wood materials are suitable.

Installation and assembly

  • Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to future use.
  • Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.

Storage and handling

  • On all level surfaces (e.g. pallets), in dry, vented rooms.

Disposal

  • We recommend material recycling or energy recovery.
