Panolam on Z-core NAUF Particleboard

General Description

NAUF Panolam brand melamine on particleboard.

PANOLAM panels consist of a melamine resin impregnated decorative paper, thermally fused to an industrial grade of particleboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF). Thermal fusion takes place under heat and pressure and permanently bonds the resin impregnated paper to the substrate. The process of thermal fusion produces a permanent bond between the melamine surface and the substrate. Panels are supplied with decorative faces on both sides.
