Description

Riga Tex has a durable finish for demanding technical applications, it can be used anywhere heavy-duty, high wear resistance and/or good anti-slip properties are required.

Features and benefits:

  • Abrasive surface ensures underfoot safety and a safe surface for freight transport.
  • Weather resistant gluing and water resistant surface.
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Durable and heavy-duty.
  • Cost-efficient and easily workable with long life span.
  • Surface is resistant to commonly used chemicals and surface impact.
  • Sustainable product.

Further processing

Riga Tex can be further processed according to customer’s specification with:cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, assembling in sets, and scarf jointing.

Overlaying

Overlaid with resin impregnated film, which is hot-pressed onto the sheet surface using wire net. Depending on the application, films impregnated with modified phenolic or melamine resins can be applied.

Face: wire mesh pattern

Reverse: smooth film, both sides covered with wire mesh pattern if specified

Wire mesh pattern availability:

  • Small mesh – 4.5 mesh per 1 cm
  • Large mesh – 2.5 mesh per 1 cm

For enhanced performance it is possible to use multi-layer films.

Surface properties

The wire mesh overlay improves panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear. It resists abrasion, commonly used chemicals and is weather and moisture resistant. Depending on the film used (modified phenolic or melamine), abrasion, crack, UV resistance and other properties can be significantly improved. Riga Wood experts will advise the most appropriate overlay depending on the end use.

Wear resistance

Rolling test (EN 1818) up to 9,000 cycles depending on the coating. Rolling wear is tested with a load of 300 kg.

Taber test (EN 438-2) up to 10,000 revolutions depending on the coating.

  • Dark brown 120 g/m² up to 400 revolutions
  • Dark brown 220 g/m² up to 900 revolutions
  • Special wear resistant film 350 g/m² up to 10,000 revolutions
  • Dark brown 440 g/m² up to 2,500 revolutions

Slip resistance

The highest R13 anti-slip resistance class attained according to DIN 51130.

Edge sealing

The edges are sealed with colour matched moisture resistant paint. Other colours are available upon request.
