Product safety

The surface is physiologically safe, and approved for direct contact with food.
The decorative surface and the core consists of paper layers that 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.
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

Slight colour differences to HPL without overlay and to melamine faced boards are possible on wood and stone reproductions, as well as on fantasy designs.
Specially with light designs slight colour variations to melamine face boards in double paper construction are possible. Please contact us if a combination of both materials is required.

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.
