3.11.2Surface finishing

HPL-Compact as per EN 438-6 type EDS / EDF shows virtually no changes in surface properties and appearance. Even after many years of outdoor use, only slight colour changes can be detected. For HPL-Compact as per EN 438-6 type EGS / EGF, the melamine surface gradually loses its transparency after years of outdoor use, similar to other materials. Micro cracks appear, which appear as greying especially on darker colours. This can affect the cleaning result over the years. Mechanical strength and usability are maintained.
