1.2 LAMINATE 1.2.1 Laminex The Laminex is the classical laminate edge-banding used for coating all types of coated panel (chipboard, MDF and plywood). The most used thickness is 0.4 mm, composed of a decorative and a support, both impregnated with melamine resin, between which is interposed a layer of vegetable parchment that performs a flexibilizing function. The layers of impregnated paper and the parchment are laminated with the CPL (Continuous Pressure Laminate) technology in continuous presses at pressures ranging between 20 and 30 bar and temperatures of 170-190 ° C. The combined action of pressure and temperature causes the reaction of the melamine resin and the consequent "packing" of the layers of paper to form the laminate. On exit from the laminating, the laminate is sanded on the back and collected in coil. The melamine impregnation ensures to the edge-bandng an excellent resistance to mechanical abrasion and to the products normally used for the cleaning. The laminated board also has a high water repellency. Among the characteristics of the laminated edge-banding, it is that of being able to imitate all the decors used for the coating of the panel, and many of the finishes. It is used in fact the same decorative paper used in the production of laminated panel. The Laminex can be produced with a melamine overlay on th decor as to permit its mechanical sanding pre-varnishing without damaging the same decorative; on customer request, the laminate can be produced with protective film. To whom the Laminex can be proposed? • To whom should edge "straight" or slightly curved laminated panels; • To whom needs to have a high coverage of panel defects; • To whom wants to use an edge-banding made of the same decorative and finishing of the panel to

be edged; • To whom needs to order not too high quantities, but not less than 250 square meters.

3.2 Thin Flex extra flexible laminate for coating

The Thin Flex is a laminate for coating constituted by a single layer of decorative paper. This particular composition is required to give it its exceptional flexibility: it can coat profiles with bending radius ≥ 1. The spreading realized with melamine resin gives it a rather good resistance to chemicals and stains. Being composed of a single layer of paper, its thickness is very low. If you want to increase it without losing the characteristics of flexibility, it can be laminated it supporting it with a layer of non-woven fabric. Attention must be paid to the fact that, not being impregnated with melamine resins only, the Thin Flex can imitate all the finishes of melamine panel but it can not perfectly imitate the color of the panel. The "deviation" is normally a slight color change to yellow for the white colours and a bleaching, on the contrary, for the black. Always because of the peculiarities of the used resins, the decors that can be used should not have an initial weight above 80 gsm. To whom the Thin Flex can be proposed? • To whom wants to cover with a laminate product the profiles with bending radius ≥ 1 mm; • Supported with the non-woven fabric, it can be offered to those who realize the folden; • To whom that has to coat frames, skirtings, etc.

3.3 Thin Top post formable laminate for surfaces

The post formable Thin Top is a laminate produced with PLC technology particularly suitable for the coating of flat surfaces either horizontal or vertical. It is obtained by laminating a decorative paper impregnated with melamine resin, with several layers of phenolic support. The number of used phenolic substrates determines the thickness of the laminate: from a minimum of 0.4 mm to 1.8 mm. It is the phenolic substrate that gives the Thin Top the characteristics of post formability in hot condition. To realize a laminate with special fireproof characteristics phenolic substrates produced and certified for this purpose must be used. The Thin Top is intended for covering flat surfaces particularly subject to wear, such as the tops of the kitchens and the desktops, it can be realized by superimposing to a décor a melamine overlay which increases its abrasion resistance. The Thin Top can be realized both in reels and in sheets using as decorative also a real aluminum foil or a decor printed with digital technology. In this case we are talking about Thin Top Digit which, accompanied by a special MED certificate, can be used in the shipbuilding furniture sector. Thanks to specific additives added in impregnation and coating, Thin Top antibacterical has a real bactericidal action, while these specific additives reduce the accumulation of electrostatic charges on Thin Top antistatic surface. The youngest product belonging to post formable laminates is Thin top anti-imprint As for all the other post formable Thin Top laminates, the Thin Top anti-imprint is obtained laminating a specific decorative paper with several layers of phenolic supports depending on the required thickness. The decorative paper is subjected to specific surface treatments that give it lipofobe characteristics, for example fingermark doesn’t appear on the surface. Any possible little marks can be easily cleaned.

To whom the Thin Top can be proposed?

• To all the customers who have to coat flat surface sand / or vertical with the need for post-formability; • In the version with overlay, to whom covers worktops subject to wear (450 taber laps);

• To whom needs high thickness laminate (max 1,8 mm);

• Thin Top anti-imprint has to be proposed for coating piece of furniture frequently used which are in

contact with fingers or with oily and greasy products, like table for kitchen, desk, shutter, front dresser, etc.…

• Thin Top antistatic has to be used in all rooms in which electrostatic charges must be avoided

• Thin Top antibacterial is perfect for furnishing public places like hospitals, laboratories, public

toilets, etc ...
