PACKAGING
Riga Mel is a birch throughout plywood, overlaid with melamine film on one or both faces, combining durability and aesthetic appearance.
Major advantages
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.
Edge sealing
The edges are sealed with colour matched moisture resistant paint.
Other colours are available upon request.
Panel sizes
* Minimum order quantities apply.
Standard thicknesses
6.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 mm
Other thicknesses available on request.
Gluing classes
Riga Wood birch plywood is glued with weather and boil-proof phenol formaldehyde or lignin phenol formaldehyde resin adhesive according to EN 314/Class 3 Exterior. Bonding with moisture resistant low emission melamine-ureaformaldehyde\resin according to EN 314 / Class 1 and BS 1203 / H1 possible.
Formaldehyde emission
Riga Wood birch plywood formaldehyde emission level is significantly below EN 13986 Class E1 and complies with EPA TSCA Title VI and CARB Phase 2.
