Technical details
Metal HPL type S
High pressure laminate in standard quality with decorative real metal surface and the classification MTS acc. to EN 438-8.
Made of several impregnated cellulose layers and a real metal foil which are pressed together under pressure and heat. The back side is sanded for gluing.
Field of application
- Surface material for vertical applications in high quality interior and shop fitting, trade fair construction, for kitchen and living room furniture.
Real aluminium surfaces are not suitable for horizontal as well as mechanically stressed areas.

Formaldehyde emission class
- E1 (EN 717-1)
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 decorative surface is a laquered aluminium foil. The material core consist of paper layers which are impregnated with a duroplastic resin. 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.
- This product is following the REACH regulation EG 1907/2006 an article. Following Article 7 it needs not to be registered.
- The material is not rated as hazardous material.
Special
- Texture 77 (Parallel) is only available on Alu 4.
- The metal foil has got a longitudinal joint at 1,350 mm (two sheets)
- Usable length min. 2,730 mm.
- 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
- Can be worked with carbide tipped tools on conventional woodworking machines.
- 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.
- 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.
Machines and tools
- We recommend the use of fixed equipment.
Installation and assembly
- Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to future use.
Storage
- On all level surfaces (e.g. pallets), in dry, vented rooms.
Disposal
- Energy recovery is recommended.
