Furniture Board Chipboard fire retardant W10410 SD Opaque white: what is it?

Furniture panel is a fully finished board material, in this case with a melamine top layer. Melamine-faced furniture panels are widely used in the furniture industry and are gaining ground due to the versatile textures, colours and possibilities in terms of top layers. The advantage of melamine faced panel material, compared to veneer, is that it is ready to use immediately: no need to finish! This makes the product ideal for use. A melamine top layer is a veneer layer of paper fibres, melted together with a melamine resin. This creates a hard plastic top layer.

Melamine top layer

The furniture panels have a strong and hard melamine top layer, which gives them an attractive appearance and makes the wood durable. The melamine top layer has a high density, which gives it its hard and strong properties. A melamine top layer is water-repellent, easy to wipe down with a cloth and, to a certain extent, heat-resistant. Properties that are very pleasant for every interior application!

The advantages of melamine faced board material again:

• Ready to use
• Strong and water-repellent
• Fixed colour scheme
• Wide choice of colours and textures

Carrier made of fire-retardant chipboard

This furniture panel has fire-retardant chipboard as a carrier. This is a popular choice when it comes to melamine-faced panel material in public areas where fire safety plays a major role. Examples are hotels, theatres, airports and hospitals. The chipboard type on which the top layer of this product is supplied is PremiumBoard Pyroex chipboard. A type of Pfleiderer chipboard that is enriched with a flame retardant bond. By adding fire retardant salts, flame propagation is slowed down, the board can withstand high heat and develops the same smoke as solid wood. This makes it an excellent choice for public spaces.

Fire retardant furniture panels are therefore about ensuring fire safety, slowing down the process but not stopping it. In addition, the melamine layer is still sensitive to heat. Placing Furniture Board Chipboard fire retardant W10410 SD Opaque white on objects with high heat radiation is not recommended for the visible sides because the top layer can still be damaged by the heat.

A sustainable choice

Chipboard is made of glued wood chips that are pressed together in three crosswise layers. This makes the board structurally strong. In comparison to MDF, coarser chips are used and in comparison to OSB, finer chips are used. The PremiumBoard Pyroex boards have a composition of 50% post-consumer wood, 35% pre-consumer wood and 15% fresh wood. This makes the PremiumBoard Pyroex boards a very durable choice for use in fire-sensitive areas.

Thermopal melamine from Pfleiderer 

Furniture Board Chipboard fire retardant W10410 SD Opaque white has a surface layer of Thermopal. Thermopal is a Pfleiderer brand name that includes melamine topcoats manufactured in a sustainable way. By mixing kraft paper with a high-quality melamine resin, Pfleiderer creates over 150 different decors with the Thermopal range; an impressive collection.

Thermopal is a melamine topcoat and therefore particularly suitable for decorative applications such as cabinet interiors, fronts and wall panelling. For furniture with intensive use or load-bearing functions, Duropal is a better choice. Duropal is an HPL layer and therefore more solid than melamine. The colour matching system allows Thermopal, Duropal and the matching ABS tape to be seamlessly integrated. This allows you to create perfect unity between fronts, wall coverings, desks and many other applications.

Machining of furniture panels

The great advantage of chipboard with a melamine top layer is that it is immediately ready for use. Furniture panels are good and relatively easy to assemble if you are well prepared. Do bear in mind that melamine is sensitive when you start working with it. When assembling the panel, it is advisable to screw the screws at the back or bottom (make sure not to go through the material!). This way the screw holes are not visible and you avoid visible splinters of the melamine. Are you going to mount on the visible side? Then first place painter's tape on the spot where you are going to process the board. In this way, the tape absorbs the first contact between the tool and the board and the risk of splinters is reduced.

Specific applications of Chipboard fire-retardant furniture panels

Furniture panel is also called melamine faced or decorative MDF and this fire retardant variant is widely used for furnishing public areas such as hotels, hospitals and airports. Chipboard fire-retardant furniture panels are a safe way to add style to these spaces. Using melamine-coated panels eliminates the need for painting and ensures a clean look. This makes a difference in public facilities and large projects, especially since you often have to deal with large surfaces.
