MelaminebyDSM™ is the binding force that makes
laminates super-strong and resistant to heat, scratching, impact, water and
chemicals. The attractive surfaces are hygienic, stylish and enhance the
richness of any design.
The main application for melamine is as a raw material for MF (Melamine
Formaldehyde) resins that give laminated panels and floors their unique
surface properties and attractive finishes. These resins are also heat- and
chemical-resistant, and suitable for hygienic anti-bacterial surfaces.
Typical applications include:
- Laminate flooring
- Furniture
tops
- Kitchen and bathroom counter-tops
- Wall cladding
- Cabinets
- Self-assembly furniture
Laminates are made in two types:
-
High Pressure Laminates (HPL)
