Arboron® is a cellulose based phenolic laminate. Arboron® is used in power distribution applications where dielectric strength, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance and dimensional stability are essential.
RESITEN® LAMINATES are formulated and manufactured from phenolic, epoxy, melamine and silicone resins. Base materials consist of paper, cotton, glass or a combination.
Trespa® Athlon is similar to TopLab®, except not quite as chemical and stain resistant, nor is it UV resistant. Athlon® is designed for high use, low maintenance situations, and has extremely good stain resistance when provided with good housekeeping practices. Athlon® is less expensive than TopLab® and shares the same strength as TopLab®. Athlon® is available in more than 75 colors and patterns.
Trespa Meteon is extremely weather-resistant. Neither sun, rain - including acid rain - nor moisture have any effect on the panel's surface or core. Both UV resistance and color stability are very high with a 4-5 classification on the International Gray Scale (ISO 105 A02). Color stability remains excellent even under the most severe climatic conditions or in heavily polluted industrial areas.
TopLab® has a black core and 4 surface colors (black, light gray, light beige, white) which combine with the black core to be aesthetically pleasing while providing considerable design flexibility. TopLab® is UV resistant and can be used in areas where there is significant exposure to sunlight, e.g., atriums, near windows, etc. It is often used for window stools as well. For most applications, 5/8" or 3/4" thickness is adequate. Toplab resists fungus and bacteria and can be routinely disinfected.
