PRODUCT INFORMATION Cleaning instructions Melamine-faced panels (MFC/MFMDF) can be cleaned using all normal household cleaning agents, although no highly abrasive cleaning materials should be used. Please note our cleaning instructions for MFC/MFMDF panels. Technical data and material properties Edge properties Requirements to DIN EN 14322 Pfleiderer panels Standard panels Break-outs up to 10 mm ≤ 5 mm Rough cuttings Break-outs up to 3 mm ≤ 3 mm Surface faults: Points ≤ 2 mm2/m2 ≤ 2 mm²/m² Lengthwise faults ≤ 20 mm2/m2 ≤ 20 mm²/m² Distortion: Thickness ≥ 15 (only for balanced build-up of the surfaces) Behaviour under abrasion stress to DIN EN 14322 ≤ 2 mm/m ≤ 2 mm/m WR turns 1 < 150 2 ≥ 150 3A ≥ 350 3B ≥ 650 4 ≥ 1,000 Behaviour under scratch stress to DIN EN 14322 Stress 1.5 N No continuous track Insensitivity to marks Decorative panels must be insensitive to the mark- or stain-forming materials speci fied in DIN EN 14322, Appendix A. Printed décors (stone and wood reproductions and fantasy décors) Plain colours depending on layer thickness Plain colours depending on layer thickness Plain colours depending on layer thickness Plain colours depending on layer thickness > 1.5 N (The value 1 – 1.2 N is achieved for the surfaces SO and SM) PFLEIDERER panels fulfil the required values with a contact time of 16 hours. Heat sources (e.g. coffee machines, printers, faxes etc.) should not have any direct contact with the panel, since this can otherwise lead to the formation of cracks due to drying out. All the above technical properties apply exclusively for normal climatic conditions (temperature, air humidity, light etc.). Further information on subjects such as bending strength, transverse tensile strength, thickness swelling etc. can be found in the product information sheets on core materials The values specified for raw chipboard panels also apply for decorative panels. 015 PI Direct-laminated panels - 0902 Page 2 of 4
PRODUCT INFORMATION THE RIGHT SURFACE FOR EVERY REQUIREMENT Depending on the area of application, different requirements are placed on melamine-faced panels. Scratch resistance The scratch resistance increases with the coarseness of the surface texture and the lightness of the décor (visual effect). Smooth textures have a reduced scratch resistance (see technical data). Pearl or butt textures (e.g. MP) should be used wherever possible for areas subject to heavy scratch stresses (as a rule horizontal). Smooth textures (e.g. SM) are not suitable. Sensitivity to marks/stains The sensitivity to marks/stains increases with the smoothness of the surface texture and the darkness of the décor. If increased resistance is required, pearl or butt textures (e.g. MP) should be used. Smooth textures (e.g. SM) are not suitable. Ease of cleaning The ease of cleaning increases with the closeness and gloss of the surface texture. Abrasion resistance The abrasion resistance depends solely on the paper properties of the décor used. Plain décors produce the best values here, since these papers are dyed (see also technical data). Printed décors (wood, stone and fantasy décors) produce lower values, since only the imprint serves for the abrasion resistance. The surface texture used plays no part in the abrasion resistance. Surface smoothness The surface smoothness depends on the core panel used. Very good results can be achieved with raw chipboard panels in terms of surface smoothness. For the very highest requirements, we recommend the use of MDF panels. Surface gloss The surface gloss depends solely on the surface texture chosen. All our surface textures fall below the limit value of 0.45 specified in the office furniture standard DIN 4554. 015 PI Direct-laminated panels - 0902 Page 3 of 4
