Roseburg Melamine may be affected by severe climatic changes that cause the relative humidity to vary and can result in warping, swelling, or shrinking. Unbanding the units and allowing the panels to acclimate inside the shop for a minimum of 72 hours before fabricating will minimize the effect. Panels should always be stored horizontally to prevent warpage and edge damage.
Proper support is important to maintain flatness.
Avoid unnecessary flexing of the panels when lifting by transport machinery. Machining Roseburg Melamine can be machined as effectively as solid woods, if the proper machining techniques are applied. Roseburg recommends consulting both your tooling and machine manufacturers, to ensure proper equipment is used to fabricate Roseburg Melamine. Other key factors, such as tool design, speed, material feed rate, and quality of cutting equipment, are important to successfully fabricate melamine. A good tool maintenance program is critical for controlling the quality and consistency of the cut.
