Melamine and phenolic thermosetting resins supplement layers of paper under high pressure to form this laminate. The particular combination of high specific strength and efficient and advanced manufacturing make for one of the clearest options regarding both practicality and longevity of results.
Carbide-tipped tools stay sharper for longer and are some of the most critical factors in the simple, efficient production of this laminate. The process makes for convenience for the manufacturer, us as distributors, and consumers.
Noted for its versatility, Arboron is the ideal material for numerous applications across multiple electrical and mechanical operations, most specifically, electrical control and test panels, transportation industry panels, and stage flooring. Its defining high dielectric strength, as well as its durability, are some of the factors behind its versatility for new design projects.
