PURICOMPACT

MATERIAL PROPERTIES DATA SHEET

PURICOMPACT is a high pressure decorative laminates (HPL), having thickness 2 mm or greater, according to EN 438-1:2016, EN 438-2:2016 and EN 438-4:2016.
The core is composed of layers of kraft paper impregnated with thermosetting resins. The decorative surface in both sides is made of paper impregnated with aminoplastic
thermosetting resins. All the layers are bonded together by a high pressure and high temperature process to obtain a high density homogeneous non-porous material.
PURICOMPACT is available in standard CGS type and flame retardant CGF type according to EN 438-4:2016.

(2) Longitudinal: parallel to the fiber direction (usually parallel to the direction of sanding). Transversal: at right angles to the fiber direction
(3) Please contact the manufacturer for more details on the fire tests performed and the certificates held
(4) Phenol is not used as raw material in PURICOMPACT production. 0,002 mg/m3 is the detection limit (DL) value of the test.

Note to PURICOMPACT sheets with adhesive protective film

The protective films are designed for temporary surface protection against dirt, scratches and tool marks; they are not designed for protection against corrosion, humidity or
chemicals. The laminates covered with the protective film shall be stored in a clean, dry place (40 to 60 RH%) at room temperature (20 to 25 °C), avoiding weathering and
UV exposure. In any case, the removal must be made within four months from the date of shipment by Puricelli. Puricelli cannot be responsible for the misuse of the laminates
covered with the protective film, nor for the consequences for non-recommended applications.
