Ideal Applications

Basic Uses: NEVAMAR brand chemical resistant laminates are manufactured for application to interior horizontal surfaces where a superior wear and chemical resistant surface is required. In addition to
providing resistance to chemical spills, it provides excellent resistance to scuff and abrasion. Specific applications may include laboratory bench tops, hospital or health facility countertops, and photographic
processing work areas.

Limitations: High pressure laminates are not recommended for exterior use. The laminate should not be bonded to plaster board, gypsum board, plaster, concrete blocks or similar materials.
