Edition: 2024.1 Date: 13/09/2024 Page 1 de 4 1. Description Valchromat is a panel made of wood fibres coloured in the production process. The fibres are impregnated with organic colouring agents and chemically bound to one another by a special resin which lends Valchromat unique physicochemical features. Valchromat is an MDF.HLS, in compliance with the EN 622-5 standard. Valchromat panels, thanks to the use of organic colouring agents and the natural variation of the wood colour, come in different shades. This variation may be seen on the same surface, between the two faces of the same panel, or between the different production batches or thicknesses. To minimize this effect, the supply must be from a single production. Valchromat is a moisture resistant panel, supplied with no finish, and therefore a layer of varnish, wax or oil is recommended. 2. Colours 3. Applications Interior design, furniture, linings, flooring, doors, bathrooms and kitchens, restaurants, exhibition stands, shopfitting, decorative panels, acoustic panels, among others. Whenever the panels are used in moist zones, such as bathrooms or kitchens, it should be protected with a varnish and the edges must be properly sealed. The Valchromat panels should not be applied in places where they will come into direct contact with water, such as kitchen worktops and bathroom showers. 4.
