Water Resistance
No more than 0.5% swelling in thickness after immersion in water. No more than 8.9% swelling in thickness and 53.5% water absorption after boiling in
100°C water for 3 hours. (TÜV SÜD PSB)
Stain Resistance
No staining by covering of liquids such as Ethanol 96%, Coffee, and Paraffin oil for one hour. No staining by covering of solid oils and fats such as
Vegetable oil for 24 hours. (BS EN 12720:2009)
Scratch / Surface Wear Resistance
No scratching of test surfaces for 3 cycles of 6” back and forth with BV standard ceramic plate (2.27kgs)
and mug (1.36kgs). (CPSD-HL-01055-MTHD) Shield the abuse such as using cutting boards.
Heat Resistance
No more than a minor change in gloss and/or colour. Rated 4 for both tests on resistance to 180°c of wet
and dry heat. (BS EN 12721 & 12722)
No change distinguishable from -50°C to 90°C. Abil- ity to withstand temperatures up to 180°C for 20 minutes without deformation, swelling, fiber raising,
cracking and blistering.
Impact Resistance
No visible damage when subject to intense force and shock applied to it.
UV Resistance
No more than a slight change in physical and/or structural of the specimen after 200 hours of exposure to laboratory lights sources — Fluorescent
UV lamps. (ISO 4892-3:2006)
Light coloured table tops are the best choices for outside, as the darker ones may fade over time. UV rays can break down the surface over years of
exposure.
Peel Resistance
Strong peel resistance due to the creation process of fusing HPL directly onto the core.
High Density
Have the density of 823.62 kg/m3. (CPSD-HL-01056- MTHD / STANDARD MEASURE)
High Screw Holding Capacity
Holding screw force is great due to the high density. The greater the density, the greater the screw
holding force.
Dimensional Stability
Has incredible dimensional stability. No sign in shrinks and swells in relation to moisture and
temperature gain or loss.
Table top shall be installed with support to prevent it from warping. The recommended support are:
apron, metal frame and crossbar.
