Plain decorative laminate 441 ALU NATURAL

brushedHPL

HOMAPAL® Alu brushed aluminium is a decorative metal laminate with a surface material consisting of a thin aluminium layer. This aluminium layer is protected by a thin expoxy coating. The kraft paper core layers are impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde resin. The HOMAPAL® metal laminate consists of approx. 55% paper, 25% phenol-formaldehyde resin and 20% metal foil. The phenol-formaldehyde resin is irreversibly chemically cross-linked and forms a cured, stable material whose properties are fundamentally different to those of the raw materials. HOMAPAL® metal laminate is manufactured under the simultaneous application of heat (> 120°C) and a high specific pressure (> 5 MPa). CARE AND CLEANING A soft, lint-free cloth and a mild cleaning agent should always be used for cleaning. Strongly alkaline, strongly acidic, or cleaning agents with abrasive components must not be used. Alternative cleaning agents should only be used after consultation with HOMAPAL Application Technology. PROCESSING INFORMATION: HOMAPAL® metal laminate can be sawn, drilled or milled as with all standard laminates (HPL), whereby the use of carbide-tipped cutting tools is recommended. The standard safety directives regarding dust extraction and fi re protection are to be complied with during the processing and finishing of HPL. Due to the fact that the material has very sharp edges, gloves and safety goggles should be worn. Precautions should be taken to prevent dust during processing and local regulations must be omplied with. When processing, always observe the same working direction, otherwise there will be changes in the appearance. When cutting, the decor side should always be facing up.
