Finish (options vary by colour):

• Pearl: A smooth, lightly stippled, hard-wearing finish.
• Velvet: A soft to touch, hard-wearing multi-purpose finish.

Recommended Application: Suitable for cabinetry, shelving, wardrobes, wall panels, desks, tabletops, and vanities. Suitable for light horizontal applications. Not suitable for high impact or high abrasion installations, high traffic horizontal applications, laboratory benchtops, or outdoor applications. For internal applications only.

Installation: All edges must be sealed to prevent moisture ingress.

Performance: Stain resistant, heat resistant, water resistant, scratch resistant, and UV stable for indoor use. Fire tested to a Group 3 classification under AS 5637.1-2015. Formaldehyde emissions tested to E1, ≤ 1.5 mg/L (AS/NZS 1859.1).

Wet Area Suitability: Suitable for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and vanities. Do not allow water to pool on the surface or around edges. Do not expose to frequent or excessive heat or moisture. Note that exposure to steam may cause moderate surface swelling. Do not expose to heat from front-venting oven installations without a heat deflector shield, fugitive heat from appliance seals, or benchtop hot plates used without exhaust fan activation. Do not expose to humidity fluctuations as this may cause bow, warp, or twisting.

Warranty: 7-year limited warranty, residential and commercial. High traffic horizontal applications and high impact or high abrasion installations are not covered under warranty.

Edging: Matching Formica® ABS edge banding is available from Bord. Formica® ABS edge banding and Formica® decorated board products are different surface materials and may appear slightly different under various lighting conditions.

Care & Maintenance: For day-to-day cleaning, use a mild dishwashing detergent diluted in warm water and finish with a clean dry cloth. For streaky marks, use a glass cleaner such as Windex. Do not use solvents, strongly acidic or alkaline cleaners, alcohol-based compounds, commercial cleaning agents, abrasive cleaners, waxes, polishes, undiluted bleach, or ammonia. Do not use the decorative face as a cutting surface. Immediately clean spills containing minerals, strong pigments, hair dye, or solvent-based inks. Darker colours will show fingerprints, scratches, and superficial wear more readily and require more careful maintenance.
