Wilsonart Chemsurf

General Description

Wilsonart® Chemsurf® Chemical-Resistant Laminate is produced for work tops and cabinet surfacing in intermediate-type laboratories where weight or cost constraints rule out slate, epoxy or stainless steel; the possibility of chemical spills rules out conventional high-pressure decorative laminate; or where a trend-aware colored or patterned surface is desired. Chemsurf is also recommended in areas where indiscriminate use of a variety of cleaning agents may be used.

Chemsurf conforms to typical standards of ANSI/NEMA LD3-2005 for HGP postforming laminate. At present, there is no general industry standard for a high-pressure, chemical-resistant laminate.

ISO 4586 Standards
Various grades of Wilsonart Basic Type Laminates meet or exceed the International Standards Organization Specifications as found in ISO 4586 titled, "High-Pressure Decorative Laminate (HPDL) - Sheets Based on Thermosetting Resins - Part I: Specifications."

Scientific Equipment & Furniture Association SEFA No. 8.1 approved.

New York City Material Equipment Acceptance (MEA) number for Wilsonart® Chemsurf® Chemical-Resistant Laminate, Product Type 390, is 262-95-M.

Ideal Applications

Specific applications include laboratory cabinets, casework, counters and tabletops in hospitals, photographers' darkrooms, beauty salons and product testing facilities. Chemsurf is ideal for nurses' stations, physicians' and dentists' examining and treatment rooms and pathologists' work rooms. It is also practical and attractive surfacing for wainscoting in any of these areas.

Physical Properties

•Type 390 is intended for horizontal, vertical and postforming surfaces and applications, including those where it is necessary or desirable to roll the laminate on a simple radius over the edge of a substrate. This eliminates seams, which are otherwise vulnerable to chemical attack. This type also may be applied to horizontal and vertical surfaces where a functional, durable, decorative material should also be chemical-resistant.

Basic Limitations
Chemsurf Laminates are intended for interior surfacing only, and not as structural materials. They must be bonded to suitable substrates.

Do not subject these laminates to extremes in humidity or to temperatures over 275F (135C) for sustained periods of time.

You should not expose these laminates to flame, molten metal, metallic sparks or intense, direct sunlight. They should not be used as cutting surfaces.

Note: Chemsurf Laminate should be protected from damage caused by high heat, such as heat created by Bunsen burners. The burners should be placed on a trivet to protect the laminate surface.
