Compact Grade Laminate Offers Exceptional Chemical Resistance

Environments such as hospitals, clinics and laboratories demand special consideration in the specification of materials for interior fit outs. Meeting this demand Formica Group has introduced Chemtop®2, 16mm Compact laminate with advanced chemical resistance. The result of cutting edge technical developments and manufacturing processes, Chemtop2 is available now from Formica Group throughout Europe.

Chemtop2 is available as 16mm compact grade laminate ensuring that it caters for all applications including work surfaces and splashbacks, cabinets and fume cupboards.

Ideal for use in ‘high stress’ environments, where relatively harsh acids, alkalis, corrosive salts and other destructive and staining substances are used, the Chemtop2 range boasts outstanding performance properties.

Offered in designs selected for their suitability to these environments, the Chemtop2 range comprises three plain colours and five patterns including Polar White, Grey Dust, Lava Dust and Mouse Grafix. The sheet sizes are 3050x1300mm and 3660x1525mm which provide for economical conversion and minimising seams and joints.

The Chemtop2 range complements the array of laminate designs featured in the Formica® Collection that offers a selection of durable, easy to clean materials for an entire range of colour schemes.

Whether in the super-clean context of the operating theatre or pathology lab, in toilets and washrooms, along corridors or stairwells, on wards or in treatment rooms, products from Formica Group can help meet the stringent requirements of sterility, durability and easy cleaning. The non-porous, wipe-clean surface of HPL is inherently hygienic and can be steam cleaned or disinfected with no adverse effects. It can be used for all horizontal and vertical surface applications, including work surfaces, splashbacks, and in the construction of cabinets and fume cupboards.

Chemtop2 laminate is also available on a made-to-order basis, in thin (0.7mm) postforming grade High Pressure Laminate (HPL). This enables the creation of work surfaces and other bonded components with integral upstands and down stands, eliminating joints and seams at critical positions in the finished installations.
