Polyrey’s Compact products are thick High Pressure Laminate panels consisting of layers of kraft paper and two decorative sides impregnated with thermosetting resin. Given their strengthened technical properties and the innovative Santized® antibacterial treatment, these boards are perfect for intensive usage (public places), humid places (sanitary rooms) or sensitive spaces (healthcare). They are ideal for horizontal (worktops, table tops) or vertical installation (wall coverings, cubicles). Compact is classed as self-supporting from 8 mm thick and machineable throughout its whole...

• Self-supporting when 8 mm thickness and above. • Machinable throughout its entire thickness and engraveable. • No need for additional edging products. • Compact panels are particularly suitable for renovation. The fire performance grade required depends on the type of building (public places, houses etc.), the product’s role (structure, covering) and its position within the building.

Compact panels meet the highest hygienic requirements : non-porous material, smooth edges, ease of cleaning and maintenance. The product is not degraded by normal disinfectants and organic solvents, such as acetone or domestic alcohols. Compact panels are approved for food contact in a test report issued by IANESCO (Western Chemical Analysis and Testing Institute) in relation to aqueous food and fatty acids during short periods or repeated contact. The migration rates are substantially below the tolerated thresholds and they do not affect the food in any way. Specific migration tests...

5. Sanitized® Antibacterial protection All our Compact panels benefit from active silver-ion based protection. The antiseptic action of silver is of a necessary requirement in health centres, restaurants and public spaces. Incorporated during the manufacturing process, silver ions effectively reduce the proliferation of bacteria throughout the life of the material. In contact with a bacterium such as Staphylococcus aureus, Ag+ ions neutralise it and prevent cell division, thus limiting the risk of infection. The Sanitized® treatment does not use nano-particles. Approved with contact with...

6. Ecological material Our two industrial sites are ISO 14001 certified. Since 2003, Polyrey benefits from a control chain that assures follow-up and transparency in relation to the entire manufacturing process. All our compact panels are PEFC eco-certified (minimum 40 %). Chemically inert gas emissions generated by the Compact panels surface are below detection thresholds of the measuring tools used. In addition, Compact panels do not contain pentochlorophenol, asbestos, halogen elements, phtalates, bisphenol A or heavy metals and they comply with REACH regulations. Our Compact panels...

Due to their ecological properties, our Compact panels may be integrated within green building projects, in compliance with the applicable labels (HQE, BREAM, LEED or DGNB), thus allowing to assess the ecological grade of the buildings. In order to support you in this process, we can assist you in providing the relevant certification by making technical documents available to download from our website www.polyrey.com, such as the document Health and Environmental Product Declarations. Such declarations are issued according to the process of analysis and control of the life cycle of our...
