Mufloor Antistatic HPL
Mufloor Antistatic HPL is high pressure laminate with a
very tough surface, particularly suitable for raised access
flooring systems. HPL has become the standard in equipment
& computer room design because of its ease of maintenance
and its unique ability to dissipate static electricity.

HPL FAQ
|
What is an HPL laminate?
According to the European standard UNI EN 438, high pressure
decorative laminates (HPL) are materials manufactured with
layers of fibrous material (e.g. paper) impregnated with
thermosetting resins, bonded by heat at a pressure not lower
than 7 MPa, where one or both external surfaces are coloured
or have decorative patterns. High pressure decorative laminates
(HPL), as defined in the above mentioned standard, are made
up of internal layers impregnated with phenolic and/or aminoplastic
resins, and of one or more surface layers of aminoplastic
resins (mainly melamine resins).

What are the main features of HPL laminates?
The main features are as follows:
- High scratch resistance
- High abrasion resistance
- High impact resistance
- Excellent moisture resistance
- Good water resistance
- Good vapour resistance
- Excellent resistance to high temperatures
- Good resistance to chemicals
- Ease of cleaning
- Good dimensional stability
- Excellent reaction to fire with low fumes
- Special antistatic properties << back

How do you clean HPL?
High pressure decorative surfaces must be treated with the
same care given to other common furniture surfaces. It is
good practice always to keep the surfaces clean and dry.
In case of neglect or tenacious dirt, it is generally possible
to obtain good results in the cleaning of HPL surfaces by
following the recommendations indicated in the table below.
These instructions can be observed in most cases, however,
they do not claim to solve any possible case that may emerge,
because factors such as state of wear of the surface, type
and quantity of deposits and the length of time these have
remained on the surface, are essential in determining how
easy it is to remove the stains. The following recommendations
will be ineffective if the laminate has been considerably
altered by chemical, physical or mechanical interventions.

How does HPL react to fire?
HPL laminates are rarely flammable and have "flame spreading"
retardant properties, therefore allowing more time for evacuation
procedures. << back to top
Are there any technical standards which
specify characteristics and test methods for HPL laminates?
The reference standard for HPL laminates is UNI EN 438.
<< back to top
What precautions must be taken for the transport
of laminates?
Storage and transport must be performed in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations. No special precautions
need be taken.
As to transport, HPL laminates are classified as non-dangerous
material. No labelling is required.
- During transport, flat and stable pallets must be used
at all times, ensuring that the panels do not move.
- During loading and unloading operations, care must be
taken to prevent panels sliding over each other. They
must be lifted by hand, or by a lifting device provided
with a sucker.
- Soiling, foreign bodies and sharp edges can damage the
surfaces if the panels are allowed to rub together. <<
