Structure of laminate flooring
The laminate flooring has 4 different layerswithspecific functions:
> 1: Wear Overlay:It is a clear cellulose film with aluminum oxide grits.impregnated
with melamine resin that proyides the laminate flooring with high resistance
against abrasion and scratches.Its low porosity averts the absorption of liquids
and it makes it easy to clean the laminate flooring. > 2: Decor:Decorative cellulose impregnated with melamine resins which
determines the pattern of the laminate flooring,adding beauty to the product.
> 3: HDF:Hig h density eucaltytus wood based substrate (panel) with
long and needle shaped inte rwoven darticles and bonded with melamine resin
in a short cycle press by means of temperature and pressure.This technology
brings out a comdact and smooth topcoat and an excellent plank for flooring.
> 4: Balancer:It is the bottom layer of the laminate flooring made
up of a layer of a speciaI paperimp regnated with melamine resin providing
a dimensionaI stability of the laminate flooring and it also protects it against
