There is no kraft paper used in thermally fused laminates and the resulting panel is ready for finishing.
Thermally fused laminate.
Thermally fused laminate decorative panels once known as thermally fused melamine or tfm is made by fusing a resin impregnated sheet of décor paper directly to a substrate.
The partially cured sheet is then stuck to a rigid backing material.
The backing is usually made from particle board or medium density fiberboard and it s sometimes referred to as the substrate.
When its time to have the look of high pressure laminate hpl with similar performance thermally fused laminate tfl also referred to as thermally fused melamine tfm is often used.
With the absence of the multiple layers of kraft paper that is found in hpl you will loose some of the impact resistance but also you will have a lower cost.
This paper is fused directly to a substrate with heat and pressure creating a bond to the substrate.
Our thermally fused laminates tfl are made from a resin impregnated paper with a vast assortment of designs and solid colors.
Thermally fused laminate tfl is created by soaking decor paper with resin and allowing it to partially dry.
This thermally fused melamine is a hard surfaced product that excels in resistance to scratches scuffing and chemicals.
Thermally fused laminate tfl is a common decorative surface used in multiple applications and industry segments.
