Metallic Compact HPL type F, black core

Decorative high pressure compact laminate in flame retardant quality and the classification ACF acc. to EN 438-8.
With black core of several impregnated cellulose layers and melamine impregnated decorative surface with mother-of-pearl effect on both sides.

Field of application

  • Preventive fire protection in the interior fitting and exhibition stand construction, for wet areas as well as everywhere where a strong material is needed, for example for wall protection. But also for furnitures and installations, specially when a small material cross cuts and open edge solutions have to be achieved.
  • Metallic surfaces are specially good for vertical applications with a special need for design.

  • Resistant to organic solvents, weak acids, petrol and oil. (EN 438-2)

Cleaning and care

  • The surface can be cleaned with water and gentle cleaning agents. To remove stubborn stains, please observe the GKV trade association recommendations in the data sheet "Cleaning of HPL surfaces".

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

  • Other textures on request.
  • To reach the full metallic effect there is no Overlay used. Therefore this products should only be used for vertical applications.
  • It is recommended to order overlay for horizontal, heavy used surfaces in combination with metallic designs. Slight visual difference to the surface is possible without the overlay.
  • Holohedral metallic desigs can show because of light refraction certain optical area effects which also can be directional and slightly higher differences in the colour connection in comparison to classic plain colours.
  • Please consider that metallic designs react more sensitive to scratching and abrasion as well as to humidity as normal printed designs. The sensitivity of the surface increases with growing metallic content. The surface values of the relevant product standard are therefore only limited fulfilled.
  • 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.
  • Because for production technical reasons there can be slight colour variations of the black coloured core.
