Chemical Resistance Laminate

This special laminate is made up of special resin applied over the decorative surface paper in order to achieve chemical resistance. The decorative paper is treated with melamine resin; and the core is composed of kraft papers impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than 1000 pounds per square inch at temperatures approaching 300°F (149°C). Finished sheets are trimmed and the backs sanded to facilitate bonding.
Our chemical resistant laminate is produced for work tops and cabinet surfacing in intermediate-type laboratories where weight or cost constraints rule out slate, marble and granite; the possibility of chemical spills rules out conventional high-pressure decorative laminate; or where a trend-aware colored or patterned surface is desired. It is also recommended in areas where indiscriminate use of a variety of cleaning agents may be used.
