Physical Properties

NuMetal fabricates like standard high pressure laminates and most have phenolic backing.

Fabricating
NuMetal is fabricated with the same tools used on any high pressure decorative laminate (special instructions are needed for fabricating stainless steel, please inquire). NuMetal products bond to various substrates - the same as other high pressure laminates.

Adhesives - Any contact adhesive or cold set adhesive normally used with decorative laminates is suitable. Use only naphtha or benzene as adhesive cleanup. Do not use lacquer solvents or other adhesive solvents which attack lacquer coatings.

Balancing - Counter balancing is necessary as with other high pressure laminates to prevent warping of the substrate. All NuMetal products are at home in any application where high pressure laminates would be used (vertical or light horizontal). The possibilities for the interior designer are endless. Signage, interiors, furniture, displays, fixtures, and more. Our stainless steel series is even used in exterior signage applications. Sample chains, technical literature, and product brochures are available. Call our toll free number 1-800-849-1320 for additional information.

Storage - Metal laminates should be stored face up in a cool, dry area in a completely supported flat position. Use a top sheet of chipboard or similar material to hold stored sheets flat. Edge storage is not recommended.

Maintenance - Clean surfaces with a soft cloth using household cleaners, waxes, Windex-type solutions, or ordinary soap and water. Good furniture or automobile waxes provides additional protection for all metal laminate surfaces.

Thickness/Sizes/Other

NuMetal is available in 4' x 8' sheets.
