HPL product.

Armored Protection
Nevamar’s unique, patented Armored Protection
(ARP) technology stands up to more abuse than
similar laminate products. The result is a decorative surface that looks new longer.
The Armored Protection surface is engineered
using aluminum oxide particles blended with
clear resins. Together they form a protective
layer thatt allows objects to slide over the laminate
as if they were on ball bearings.

™

Unlike other laminates using overlays that can
cloud the design, ARP’s patented process always
allows the subtlety and depth of the decorative
paper to show through. This dramatic clarity is
never compromised by the surface protection
during the serviceable life of the laminate.
Every day, Nevamar with Armored Protection
proves its toughness

FRP is available in a selection of ten colours that
fit with any interior style. Engineered to last, FRP
won’t call attention to itself with a worn out look
that can quickly appear with other surfaces. In
most cases, traditional materials such as ceramic
tile, stainless steel, painted drywall or concrete
can’t provide the durability, ease-of-maintenance
and cost effectiveness offered by FRP.

FRP is a wall and ceiling panel for high traffic
commercial installations requiring durability and
high sanitary standards as well as moisture,
mildew and chemical resistance. This is the
hardworking, easy-to-clean surface you need
for utility and service areas.

Grades and Thicknesses
General Purpose (HGS): Recommended for both
horizontal and vertical applications. (1.2 mm /.048”)
Horizontal Forming (HGP): Appropriate for interior
horizontal surfaces where single axis radii are
desired. (1.0 mm/.039”)
Vertical Forming (VGP): Appropriate for interior
vertical surfaces where single axis radii are desired.
(.7 mm/.028”)
Thicknesses are nominal ± .13 mm (0.005”), ± 0.004”
for VGP.
Basic
c Use: Nevamar brand laminate general purpose
grades are manufactured for application to interior
horizontal and vertical surfaces where a decorative
wear, impact and stain resistant surface is required.
Horizontal applications include surfaces off counters,
table tops, residential and commercial furniture,
vanities, case goods, and store fixtures. Vertical
applications include wall panels, laminated interior
doors, bath enclosures, toilet partitions, elevator cab
interiors and cabinets.
Limitations:: Nevamar laminate is nott recommended
for exterior use or direct application to plastered
walls, gypsum wallboard or concrete walls. Do not
use in area exposed to temperatures in excess of
135°C (275°F). Fabrication should nott be done below
18°C (65°F)
High gloss finishes and darkk colours tend to highlight
surface scratches and abrasions. The above should
be considered when specifying Nevamar products.
Some products are shipped with a polyethylene
film to protect product during transit and storage.
All such products mustt be inspected for defects prior
to cutting or fabrication. Failure to remove the
protective film to inspect for defect prior to cutting
or fabrication is at Buyer’s risk.
Compositionn andd Materials:: Nevamar laminate is
manufactured by pressing melamine resin impregnated decorative paper over layers off phenolic resin
impregnated kraft paper under closely controlled
pressures and temperatures. The back is sanded to
maintain uniform thickness and to facilitate bonding.
NEVAMAR Armored Protection™ Surface
All Textured Finish™ items are produced with exclusive Armored Protection™ Surface (ARP Surface®).
These laminates have all the properties of conventional laminates and they also have superior abrasion
and scuff resistance due to a very thin deposit of
microscopic particles of aluminum oxide on the
conventional melamine layer. Armored Protection™
Surface laminates have significantly better wear
value than the NEMA standard for laminates. They
also offer superior resistance to scuffing and abrasion and resist gloss change during use. Therefore,
Armored Protection™ Surface laminates tend to retain
a “brand new” appearance during most of their

useful life. All other properties meet the normal
NEMA testt requirements. Consultt your local Nevamar
representative or distributor for a brochure which fully
explains the benefits of these remarkable surfaces.
Sizes:
Widths— 762 mm (30”), 914 mm (36”),
1219 mm (48”), 1524 mm (60”).
Lengths— 2438 mm (96”), 3048 mm (120”),
3658 mm (144”).
These are nominal dimensions, obtainable from
oversized sheets.
Installation
n methods:: Nevamar high pressure laminate should be bonded to a core material such as
laminate grade plywood, particleboard, MDF or metal
using adhesives and techniques as recommended by
reliable adhesive manufacturers to the requirements
of ANSI/NEMA Publication LD3-2005.
Care should be taken to assure that a moisture
imbalance does nott existt between Nevamar laminate
and the substrate prior to fabrication. Inside corners
of cutouts have 3.2 mm (1/8”) minimum radius edges
filed smooth to prevent stress cracking.
Forming
g Radii:: Using suitable equipment, Nevamar
laminates may be hot formed* in stocked grades
to the following minimum outside radius: Vertical
Forming (VGP) 6.5 mm (1/4”), Horizontal Forming (HGP)
9.5 mm (3/8”).
*Following normal conditions used for postforming, i.e.
163°C – 177°C (325°F– 350°F ).
Maintenance:: Surfaces of Nevamar laminate may
be cleaned with a damp cloth and ordinary soap or
household ammoniated liquid detergent. Abrasive
cleaners should not be used. Stubborn stains may
require use of organic solvents such as alcohol, acetone, ketone (MEK), lacquer thinner or paint solvent.
(NOTE: Although these flammable solvents will not
harm Nevamar, they will attack the contact adhesive
at the glue line around the edges.) Complete care
instructions available upon request.
Applicable
e Standards: Meets performance standards
of the following :
EN438-3
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers
Association) Publication LD3-2005
Federal Specifications LP 508H
Mil. Spec. P-17171E (ships)
NSF-35
Cost: Varies according to quantity, grade pattern and
finish. Nevamar representatives or distributors will
aid in quoting local prices.
NEVAMAR XTRA-Wear™ Surface
Nevamar XTRA-Wear Surface is produced for use
where additional wear resistance, due to scuffing and
abrasion, is required. Itt meets the NEMA requirements
for a high-wear type laminate with as much as six
times the wear value off conventional laminate.
Suitable applications for Nevamar XTRA-Wear
Surface include commercial and institutional installations, such as fast food restaurants, cafeterias,
convenience stores and wherever abrasive wear
is a major consideration. Available on most Nevamar
designs, contact your Nevamar representative for
more information and product performance data.

Although the values shown meet requirements of
major regional and metropolitan building codes for
Class I interior finish, applicable codes should be
consulted before specifying Nevamar Fire Retardant
Laminate to be sure these values comply. Nevamar
Fire Retardantt Laminates carryy a Canadian and a U.S.
listing (contact Nevamar for specifics on Canadian
listing).
While Nevamar Fire Retardant Laminates can be
used anywhere for interior surfacing, the major applications include corridors, stairwells, entries, elevators, fixtures, and cabinetry as required by code
authorities. Contact us for specific information.
MelCor II® Colour-Through Laminate
Colour-through core construction; eliminates the
“dark line” of standard laminates. MelCor II is intended for use in applications where the edge of laminates
contributes to the aesthetics of the final product. The
patented manufacturing process provides a second
generation colour-through laminate that is more
flexible and much less likely to ship than other colourthrough laminates. MelCor II colours and their corresponding colours in standard Nevamar are not exact
matches. Sample evaluation is recommended. Typical
uses include high-end furniture and casework. Ideal
for high-wear applications since gouges and cuts will
not steadily show.
ThickLam – Thick Phenolic Core Laminate
Available in thickness up to 25.4 mm (1”). Designed
for applications where the decorative surface must
contribute to the structural stability of the finished
assembly. Available in the following configurations:
decorative both sides; decorative one side, glueable
one side; glueable one side; glueable both sides.
Available with black or brown edge. Typical uses
include toilet and dressing room privacy partitions,
tabletops, doors, work stations, wall panels and
desktops.
Additional Products
In addition to the laminate products mentioned
above, Nevamar also manufactures specialty grades
in chemical resistance, static dissipation, raised
access floor tile, as well as backing sheets and
cabinet liner. Call for information.
