Material Characteristics and Specifications:

Feature Benefit
One-piece, thermally fused material Water /and boiling water resistant to eliminate surface separation
Hygienic seamless edge construction Easy to clean, resistant to bacteria
Molded construction -Eliminates de-lamination
-Colorfast, because the color is "molded in"
Melamine surface -Impervious to stains from ball point pens, crayons, foods including mustard, and harsh cleaners and detergents
-Scratch resistant
Static-free surface Static-attracted dirt and dust do not cling to surface
>1,000 pounds of screw-pull strength Eliminates screw pull out
Molded color fastness Color resistant to sun fading
Exceeds ASTM E84 (87) Flammability Test -Material will not support combustion
-Unlike soft plastics, no emission of toxic fumes during fire
-Highly resistant to cigarette burns
