Fire Retardant Laminate & Compacts

Fire Retardant Laminates and Compacts are manufactured with special grade of phenolic resin where the formula ensures high resistance to the flame propagation. These Laminates ensures immediate full extinguish as soon as the flame source is removed.

Thickness

All thickness of Compacts and Laminates

Specifications

All Mechanical Specifications confirm to Standard Laminates

Exterior Compacts

Exterior Compacts are used for building cladding as well as temporary houses/site-offices systems. The top surface of compacts are treated with special resins to withstand action of atmospheric Ultra Violet Rays and to withstand exterior atmospheric effects with minimum fading of colours. Laminates are regularly used for temperatures below 35°C however results are still not available for temperature above 35°C.

Metal Covered Laminates

Alfa Ica real Metal Laminates are manufactured with electro plated metalized Aluminium Foil of 0.1mm. thickness bonded with phenolic saturated kraft under high pressure and temperature. Wear resistance of Metal Grade Laminates is lower compared to Standard Laminates and are recommended only for vertical application. These sheets are also sensitive to Chemicals, Cigarette burns and are good conductive to heat and electricity. Hence should be avoided for such applications.

Properties for Post Forming

0.7 mm. Laminates are Post Formable but change in Gloss of surface should be experimented for different shapes and temperature.
