Product data sheet Langenthaler Str. 4 69434 Hirschhorn/Neckar Germany phone 00-49-6272-689-0 fax 00-49-6272-689-30 Version: 10ZT09E dekorial Product Description The name dekorial - antique stands for a high pressure laminate (HPL) with surface of pure copper. The metal sheet is applied to a core of phenolic resin using high pressure. All our products are coated with an UV - lacquer based on acryl. The lacquer has scratch hardness in EN 438 of > 1, 5 N. The surface is unaffected by common household agents / solvents. Alcohol has no effect. Slight variations of the silky shine / gloss coming from raw copper material are unavoidable. A slight unevenness in the surface of the laminates is one of the features of this product. The slight indentations are at the present stand of the technique and are unavoidable and normal. The same holds for the colours. Slight colour variations may occur during the production process and are not detrimental to the overall appearance. The pure metal surface is suitable in connection with rustic surface structures for individual internal decorative fittings. These are enhanced by the possibility of a brown toning. The various products available are characterised by stark surface structures. Backing sheets for antique: 1. C 409 real - copper (brown-toned or lacquered) This copper-variety without special quality requirements is suited as a backing sheet. 2. A 209 real-aluminium smooth and lacquered (natural colour) This aluminium-quality can also be recommended, produced in smooth surface or hammered-structure as an inexpensive backing sheet. antique 1
