OMNOVA's new duraMAX™ Flat Laminates are high
performance and cost effective alternatives to thermally fused
melamines (TFM) and vertical-grade high pressure laminates
(HPL), featuring superior impact, abrasion and stain
resistance. These products offer the same aesthetic values as
TFMs but do not require two-sided lamination, enabling
customers to value engineer their products for a variety of
end-use markets, including retail store fixtures, furniture for
healthcare and corporate office environments, as well as
closet and home storage.
duraMAX Flat Laminates are fully integrated into OMNOVA's
harmony™ program, which facilitates design and color
matching across multiple product constructions. When
combined with the Company's existing harmony program
portfolio, which includes Paper, Flat, 3D and surf(x)® 3D
Laminates, this innovation further enhances OMNOVA's value
proposition as a total solutions provider.
In addition, duraMAX Flat Laminates offer laminators, original
equipment manufacturers and fabricators an environmentally
preferred decorative surfacing option. These laminates have
been formulated without PVC or plasticizers and have been
designed to comply with the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act and the European Union's REACH chemicals
regulation.
