Box 6110 Temple, Texas 76503-6110 Phone: (254) 207-7000; (800) 433-3222 Fax: (254) 207-2384 Web Site: www.wilsonartlaminate.com Product Description Recommended Uses Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are designed for use in a three (3) ply fabrication on the backside of substrates faced with Wilsonart® High Pressure Decorative Laminates. Types of fabricated pieces using these products include contract and residential furniture, wall panels, countertops, and cabinetry. Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are designed to provide attractive lining and facing surfacing for cabinetry interiors such as shelves, drawers and cabinet doors and walls. They are solely intended for application to the unexposed backs of pieces faced with High Pressure Decorative Laminate and not for use as a structural material or to be mechanically fastened. They provide the fabricated piece with balance and protection from the effects of humidity in their normal use. Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are available in various types and thicknesses. Typically cabinet liner backer sheets should be about the same thickness as the thickness specified for the decorative face laminate used in the application. Product Composition Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are composed of kraft paper core sheets impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than 1000 lbs. per square inch at temperatures approaching 300° F (149° C). Finished sheets are trimmed and the back sanded to facilitate bonding. Basic Limitations Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are designed for interior use only and should not be subjected to extremes in humidity or temperatures higher than 275°F (135°C) for substantial periods of time. They should not be installed where they will be continuously exposed to intense, direct sunlight. Materials and Finishes Because Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets are produced primarily for application to unexposed surfaces, the Cabinet Liner sheets has one side in a decorative solid color or printed design and the other side is sanded to facilitate bonding.

General Standards Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets Types 182 and 184 conform to the relevant standards of the American National Standards Institute/ National Electrical Manufacturers Association (ANSI/NEMA), LD 3-2000, for thickness, performance properties and appearance. Fabrication and Assembly Fabrication should follow approved methods. Assembled pieces should meet the specifications of KCMA (Kitchen Cabinetmakers Manufacturers Association), ANSI A-162.2-1998 (revised), and “Architectural Woodwork Quality Standards, Guide Specifications and Quality Certification Program” guidelines of the Architectural Woodwork Institute where applicable. Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets must be bonded to a suitable substrate of reliable quality, such as 45 lb. density particleboard, medium density fiberboard or plywood with one “A” face. All decorative laminate, plaster, concrete and gypsum board should not be considered suitable substrates. Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets may not be used as structural members. Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheets may be bonded with most adhesives. Recommended adhesives are permanent types, such as urea and polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and contact types. Wilsonart adhesives are recommended for most bonding applications. Please follow all manufacturers’ recommended instructions and technical data information. Take care to ensure an appropriate acclimation between the laminate the substrate and the cabinet liner sheets prior to fabrication. The materials should be acclimated/conditioned a minimum of 48 hours before fabrication. The recommended conditioning/acclimation temperature for the materials is approximately 75°F (24°C), with 45-55% relative humidity. Carbide-tipped saw blades and router bits are recommended for cutting. High tool speed and low feed rates are advisable. Cutting blades and bits should always be kept sharp. The use of a hold-down bar is recommended to prevent vibration. Care and Maintenance The decorative surface of the Wilsonart® Imported Cabinet Liner sheet may be cleaned with warm water and mild soaps, such as those used for hands or dishes. Do not use cleansers that contain abrasives, acids or alkalis; they will damage the decorative surface. Remove stubborn stains with a 2-minute exposure to hypochlorite bleach such as Clorox®, followed by a clean water rinse. We recommend that you not allow any of the following agents to remain in contact with the decorative surface: 1. Hypochlorite bleach, except as described above 2. Hydrogen peroxide solution 3. Mineral acids, hydrochloric acid such as Lime-A-Way™, sulfuric or nitric acid 4. Caustic solutions containing greater than 2% lye, such as Drano® 5. Sodium bisulfate, such as Sani-Flush® 6.
