Composition- Layer 1: Chemical‑resistant surface film
- Layer 2: Decorative paper impregnated with melamine resin
- Layer 3: Multiple layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin (core)
Features- Chemical resistance: Designed to resist acids, alkalis and common solvents used in laboratory environments.
- Surface durability: Wear and impact resistant for high‑use countertops.
- Heat performance: Heat and cigarette‑burn resistant surface suitable for laboratory conditions.
- Hygiene & cleaning: Textured surface that is easy to clean and maintain for medical and testing environments.
- Waterproof core protection: Dense, non‑permeable surface to prevent moisture ingress into the core.
Storage conditionAcclimatize laminate and substrate in the same environment for 48 hours before fabrication. Recommended storage: approx. 24°C and 45%–55% RH. Store sheets flat on a plate slightly larger than the panels with a cover plate above; avoid wet or excessively hot areas and doors. Leave sheets at least 72 hours before processing or installation to reach equilibrium.
Maintenance instructionsDo not allow concentrated sulfuric or nitric acid (>96%) to contact the surface for more than 5 hours. Avoid applying unconventional test reagents or placing heated glassware or objects above 180°C directly on the surface. After use, wipe the worktop to remove acid, alkali or solvent residues. Do not use strong acidic, alkaline or corrosive cleaners; for stubborn stains wash with a hypochlorite solution and rinse thoroughly with water and avoid prolonged hypochlorite contact.
HandlingLift phenolic laminate vertically to avoid scratching. Use vacuum lifting equipment where possible during handling, processing and installation.
