Section 2: Product Introduction
Introduction to Laminex Metaline Splashbacks and Panel Systems
2.1 Product Characteristics
Laminex Metaline splashbacks and panels 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 is 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.
Printed onto the back surface are the product name, product colour, ASW code
and manufacturing batch code.
