Product Characteristics
Laminex Metaline Splashbacks are an aluminium composite panel consisting of two coil-coated aluminium sheets
bonded onto both sides of a Flame Retardant (FR) core. Bonding of the aluminium and FR core is achieved by
both chemical and mechanical action, which gives excellent bond integrity. An exceptionally flat, corrosion-resistant
panel, Laminex Metaline Splashbacks are simple to install and produces a premium finish.
The coated aluminium sheets are
0.5mm thick, sandwiched onto a 3mm
FR core to give a total thickness of
4mm and density of 7.5 kg/m
2
. The
high gloss decorated surface is a
proprietary formulation that is easy
to clean, mark and stain resistant and
fire resistant. It has a minimum gloss
measurement of 80 gloss units.
The corrosion-proofed surface is a
matt grey colour. Printed onto the
back surface are the product name,
product colour, ASW code and
manufacturing batch code.
