Applications & Usage

Application Filter: Countertop|Wall
Recommended Adhesive: Contact, semi-rigid (PVAc), or rigid (urea, resorcinol) adhesives may be used, following the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations.
Suitable Substrates: In most applications, the laminate must be bonded to MDF, a #45 density particleboard, or similar substrate. A marginal substrate such as plywood may be used, however it must meet APA standards and be “A” faced, hardwood veneer or multi-ply core plywood. Do not adhere directly to plaster, drywall, or concrete. Panel assemblies should be laminated with the appropriate backing sheet to minimize warpage. Formica® Brand backing sheets (grade 91/BKV or 92/BKH) are recommended for less critical applications. Optimum balancing is obtained by bonding the same surface laminate on both sides of the assembly with the same adhesive. Always align sanding marks in the same direction.
