to moisture. Particleboard shall meet the minimum standards listed in ASTM
D 1037 and ANSI A208.1.
2.1.2.3
Medium Density Fiberboard
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) shall be an acceptable panel substrate
where noted on the drawings. Medium density fiberboard shall meet the
minimum standards listed in ANSI A208.2.
2.2
SOLID POLYMER MATERIAL
Solid surfacing casework components shall conform to the requirements of
Section 06650 SOLID POLYMER (SOLID SURFACING) FABRICATIONS.
2.3
HIGH PRESSURE DECORATIVE LAMINATE (HPDL)
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The grades listed in this paragraph should be
edited to include only those grades required for the
specific end use of the casework and components.
General characteristics and intended end uses are as
follows:
Horizontal HGS grade is thicker and therefore the
most durable. It is not intended to be post formed
to a tight radius.
Vertical VGS grade is thinner and does not have the
impact resistance of a horizontal grade.
Horizontal HGP and vertical VGP grades are thinner
than their general purpose grade counterparts and
are engineered specially for post forming to tight
inside and outside bends.
Cabinet liner CLS grade is much thinner than general
purpose vertical grade and is intended for light
duty use on such surfaces as semi-exposed interior
cabinet body and drawer interior surfaces.
Horizontal HGF and vertical VGF grades are specially
formulated to provide a Class A flammability rating
in accordance with ASTM E84-00a, where required.
Backing sheet BK grade is intended for use on the
back side of laminated panels or components to
prevent moisture and humidity absorption and
minimize warpage, thereby maximizing dimensional
stability of the laminated panel substrate material.
**************************************************************************
All plastic laminates shall meet the requirements of NEMA LD 3 and ANSI
A161.2 for high-pressure decorative laminates. Design, colors, surface
finish and texture, and locations shall be as indicated on [the drawings]
[Section 09915 COLOR SCHEDULE] [_____]. Plastic laminate types and nominal
minimum thicknesses for casework components shall be as indicated in the
following paragraphs.
