STARBANK SERVICES PRODUCTS HOME manufacturers we work with material quick guide MELAMINE FACED CHIPBOARD MFC is a pre bonded wood based panel. Made using decorative paper on both sides of a chipboard core; fused together using melamine resin. MFC decorative panels only need to be cut and edged to finish them. MELAMINE FACED MDF MF-MDF is similar to MFC above, however, the core of the decorative panel is made with MDF instead of chipboard. It is advised that this type of panel should only be used in dry areas with light traffic. HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE High pressure laminates are constructed by saturating layers of Kraft paper with phenolic resin. After that, the decorative paper is added. Finally, HPL is finished with a protective overlay. This makes high pressure laminates a durable surface option that can be bonded to most cores. COMPACT DENSITY FIBREBOARD Compact density fibreboard is a high density black fibre core fused between two decorative layers. CDF is then finished with a protective overlay. Consequently, CDF is a robust cost effective self supporting material. SOLID GRADE LAMINATE Firstly, SGL is composed of multiple layers of Kraft paper permeated with phenolic resin. Secondly, both sides are finished with decorative melamine saturated paper. Finally a protective overlay. Hence why SGL, is one of the toughest decorative panels that we work with. SOLID SURFACE Solid surface is created by mixing resin with powdered fillers and pigments. The material chemically cures and is then cut into sheets for distribution. Multiple sheets can be jointed together with near invisible seams. Furthermore, solid surface can be refinished multiple times to keep it in top condition. worldpay SOCIALS CALL US PRODUCTS fire doors & frames lightweight panels postformed tough panels postformed & profiled panels washroom component panels 3D decorative wall panels SERVICES panel sizing laminating cnc machining edgebanding postforming assembly & packing CAD & CAM EXTRA INFO covid-19 policy certifications privacy policy environmental policy terms & conditions chain of custody QUICK LINKS about us contact us brochures material guide news careers Starbank Panel Products Ltd © 2021 This website uses cookies in compliance with GDPR law to improve your experience.
