PACKAGING

Description

Riga Mel is a birch throughout plywood, overlaid with melamine film on one or both faces, combining durability and aesthetic appearance.


Major advantages

  • High quality, hygienic and odour free surface
  • Increased scratch and crack resistance
  • Architecturally multifunctional use
  • Weather-resistant gluing and water resistant surface
  • High wear resistance and durability
  • Surface is resistant to commonly used chemicals, UV rays and surface impact, easy to clean for repeated uses
  • Sustainable product with long life span


Further processing

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


Overlaying

Overlaid with modified melamine resin-based film, which is hotpressed onto the sheet, ensuring smooth and protected surface.

The reverse face can be overlaid with phenol film if necessary.


Surface properties

Surface is smooth, glossy and dense, improving panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear. It resists abrasion, commonly used chemicals, is moisture proof, and the surface can be easily cleaned.


Film colour

White film weight of 395 g/m2, colourless 120 g/m2 and opal white 120 g/m2.
