Product data sheet Langenthaler Str. 4 69434 Hirschhorn/Neckar Germany phone 00-49-6272-689-0 fax 00-49-6272-689-30 Version: 10ZT09E inox ProductDescription The names dekorial - inox and stratos stand for high pressure laminates (HPL) with a foil of stainless steel, quality X 5 CrNi 18 10. This German number indicates the formulation, as well as the mechanical and physical properties of the steel foil. The metal foil of 0,05 mm thickness is applied to a core of phenolic resin using high pressure. The stainless steel surfaces of the inox and stratos products are unaffected by common household agents and resistant to the following chemical solutions: 10% nitric acid, 10% phosphoric acid, 10% sulphuric acid, 10% sodium hydroxide, 10% potassium hydroxide, 10% ammonia and 5% washing soda. Further, alcohol and other solvents such as petrol, acetone etc. have no effect on the stainless steel surface. Contact of the stainless steel surface with foodstuffs in daily use presents no problems. The stainless steel product is ideal for highly structured surfaces such as i.e. CRI, GEK, PNT, and WAF. But also less structured surfaces obtained by a fine sanding of the surface such as MIC, RON, ROS, WEL, and WES are possible. The stratos-products have a fine elegant structure which is achieved by a special treatment of the stainless steel surface. Slight variations of shine, colour and evenness in the surface of our stainless steel products, coming from raw stainless steel material and processing are unavoidable and normal. These variations are not diametrical to the overall appearance. inox-stratos

Backing sheets for inox and stratos: We recommend 2nd choice stainless steel HPL's as an inexpensive backing sheet, alternatively: 1. S 299 GLA 2. A 209 Pure aluminium smooth - lacquered HPL (Natural aluminium colour) This aluminium-quality in a smooth surface and also in the hammered version can be recommended as an inexpensive backing sheet. DimensionsandQuality All inox and stratos sheets are delivered in the dimensions 2440 mm x 1220 mm. The standard sheet contains 2 foils of stainless steel of width 610 mm. These are butt-joined. The joints are barely visible, and should be removed by cutting...

Maximum Stress -Temprature All inox and stratos sheets (with the exception of S 298) stay steady while under continuous stress of -24°C to +90°C Short-lived stressing of the material, up to -35°C to+120°C is possible. The quality of S 298 may not be continuously-stressed higher than +70°C and not short-lived stressed higher than +90°C. Behaviour in case of fire - the standard quality is classified as B1 - B2 when tested according to DIN 4102. For inox and stratos sheets the quality "flame retardant" a direct contact with Dekodur® is advised. This quality is certified by Lloyd's Register and fulfils...

Application and Processing Dekorial - inox sheets are intended for use as dcorative horizontal and vertical surfaces in interior application. Typical applications are: hotel and restaurant furniture, shelve cladding, counters and displays in shops, wall cladding, kitchen furniture, bathroom furniture, home furniture, in laboratories, in operating theaters and hospitals. The inox and stratos lamintes offer surfaces which are hard-wearing and also easy to keep clean. The inox and stratos laminates can be sawed, routed and drilled using carbide tipped tools. Caution: Diamond tipped sawblades and...

Bonding HPL-sheets surfaced with pure metal foils The bonding of HPL sheets surfaced with pure metal sheets using - c contact glues (containing s oolvent) -1 condensation glues (resins based on phenol anb/or resorcinol) requires special precautions and close adherence to the manufacturer's instructions. Special attention must be paid to a uniform, but not too higher gluespred, sufficient airing (insufficient airing can lead to later-on blistering between the metalfoil and the core of the laminat and/or lead to the seperation of the metalfoil to the laminat. Here contact with the manufacturer...

CleaningandMaintenance Cleaning the surface of inox sheets is best carried out using a clean cloth or a soft sponge. In case of extremely soiled surfaces the "Witex" laminate cleaner is recommended. This is available in two forms: Concentrate SR 6000 and as a spray cleaner SR 6001. To make stainless steel surfaces less sensitive to finger marks, the product "Chromol" (from "Henkel") or "Edelstahl-Crailit" (from "Vogelmann"), can be used. Abrasive cleaners could leave marks in the surface. Storage The inox and stratos sheets should be stored in a closed room with a temperature of 18-25°C and 50-60%...
