Decorative Melamine

 
 

Funder Melamine

Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding melamine decorative panels consist of a

melamine-impregnated decorative paper, thermally fused to a substrate such

as industrial-grade particleboard core (PBC) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF).

Thermal fusion takes place under heat and pressure and permanently bonds the impregnated paper to the substrate.  This process results in melamine panels with extraordinary strength, durability and are resistant to impact, scuffs, stains, light and heat.

Thermally fused melamine decorative panels can be used for applications where high pressure laminates would be specified, including vertical and horizontal surfaces.  Exception: Melamine should not be used in high-wear surfaces...i.e., kitchen counter tops, check-out counters or applications where temperatures exceeds 250° F.

 

Cold Roll Melamine

Cold rolled melamine is not thermally fused but is adhered with a glue line and is excellent for drawer bottoms and cabinet backs.  Also, cold rolled melamine panels make a great cabinet interior when price is a real consideration.

Handling and Storing Melamine Decorative Panels

Good material handling and storage practices will ensure ease of fabrication and the best performance from your panels.  Make sure decorative melamine panels are stored off the floor on a sufficient number of evenly spaced stringer/stickers of equal thickness to ensure:

Uniform distribution of Weight

Ease of Handling

Prevention of Warping

Length of
Panel (Ft)

Numbers of Stringers

6 3
8 4
9 4
10 5
12 6

Protect unfinished edges from contact with water to prevent swelling of the substrate.  The optimum conditions for storage are temperatures between 60° and 90°F with a relative humidity of 40-60%.

Preconditioning

Prior to fabrication, allow thermally fused melamine panels to acclimate for a minimum of 48-72 hours in conditions similar to those you will be working in. A temperature of approximately 70°F with a relative humidity of 40-60% is optimum.

HANDLING:  Take care when moving panels so they do not strike against anything which would damage the surface.

Never slide the panel on its decorative surface.

National Parks vs. National Forest? National parks (80 million acres) are managed by the Park Service and allow no hunting and no timber harvesting. National Forests, on the other hand, are administered by the Forest Service and were established "to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use and necessities of citizens of the United States." (Organic Act of June4, 1897).
