WilsonartW HD™ High Definition ™ Laminate (#376) Technical Data Manufacturer Wilsonart International, Inc. 2400 Wilson Place P.O. 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 WilsonartW HD™ High Definition™ Laminate is suitable for use on high quality residential and commercial countertops, furniture, fixtures and casework. ➢ High Definition Type HGP 376 is used for work surfaces on counters, islands, vanities, desks and tables. Type 376 is made for both horizontal and vertical interior applications where the surface must be functional, durable and decorative. Type 376 may be postformed to eliminate seams for a more attractive edge. Product Composition Decorative surface papers impregnated with melamine resins are pressed over kraft paper core sheets impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than 1000 pounds per square inch at temperatures approaching 300oF (149FC). Finished sheets are trimmed, and the backs are sanded to facilitate bonding. Basic Limitations WilsonartW HD™ High Definition™ Laminate is for interior use only and is not recommended for direct application to plaster, concrete walls, or gypsum wallboard. It is not structural material and must be bonded to a suitable substrate. Do not subject WilsonartD HD™ High Definition™ Laminate to extremes in humidity, temperatures higher than 275 F (135FC) for substantial periods of time, or intense, continuous, direct sunlight.

This finish is exclusive to Wilsonart HD High Definition Laminate and is not available in other designs or product types. Glossometer reading: 50± 20. • #45 Facet A medium to small scale texture providing an optical surface effect that adds dimension and depth to laminate. It is comprised of a balance of matte and gloss areas. The angular, faceted, textural characteristics connect it to the stone and quartz-like visuals it was designed for. Glossometer reading: MD and CD 50 ± 20 . NOTE: Glossometer readings are made at a 60N angle of incidence. MD refers to the machine direction of a laminate sheet, and CD refers to the cross direction.

Typical Fire Test Data High-pressure laminates are subject to Flame Spread and Smoke Developed standards in structures where codes establish such conditions. Test data to determine compliance with these codes are obtained by the Steiner Tunnel Test method of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM-E-84, Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials). Tests were conducted in accordance with test method and mounting procedure as described in paragraph X1.7.2 of the test method. This procedure is cataloged by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as UL 723. Here is typical data for WilsonartW HD™ High Definition™ Laminate, averaged from two specific tests: Typical Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Properties 376 Product Type Test Condition Flame Spread Smoke Developed Postforming Type 376 Unbonded 60 35 Postforming Type 376 Bonded with contact adhesive to particleboard substrate; 3/8” 50 140 When you wish to specify decorative laminate for a Class I or A fire rating, please refer to the Fire-Rated or Metal Core Laminate Tech Data.

Rating) International (IBC) Life Safety (NFPA 101) 25 A A 75 B B 200 C C (RE: Architectural Woodwork Quality Standard, 8th Edition, Version 1.0, - 2003) All Model Codes regulate the generation of smoke by interior finish material. In all cases they specify a maximum smoke development rating of 450. Codes and Certifications General Standards WilsonartW HD™ High Definition™ Laminate conforms to the voluntary standards of the American National Standards Institute/National Electrical Manufacturers Association (ANSI/NEMA) LD 3-2005, for thickness, performance properties and appearance. Wilsonart HD High Definition Laminate meets or exceeds the International Standards Organization specifications as found in ISO 4586, titled “High-Pressure Decorative Laminate (HPDL) – Sheets Based on Thermosetting Resins – Part I: specifications.” The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute™ has awarded its GREENGUARD® Indoor Air Quality Certification to all Wilsonart Laminate. Wilsonart Laminate products have been tested under the stringent GREENGUARD Standards for low-emitting materials. All GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® products ensure minimal impact on the indoor environment. For a copy of the certificate, visit www.greenguard.org. Specific Product Standards U.S. Federal Specification L-P 508H, April 9, 1977, “Plastic Sheets, Laminated, Decorative and Nondecorative,” spells out criteria for decorative laminates for federal installations. Wilsonart 107, 335, 350, 366 and 376 laminates comply. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) #35, “Laminated Plastic for Surfacing for Food Service Equipment.” All solid colors and printed patterns in Basic Types 107, 335, 350, 366 and 376, comply. U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 302, “Flammability of Interior Materials.” Basic Types 107, 335, 350, 366 and 376 comply. . Installation: Fabrication and Assembly Recommendations Fabrication should follow approved methods. Assembled pieces should meet the specifications of KCMA (Kitchen Cabinetmakers Manufacturers Association), ANSI A-161.2-1998 (revised), and “Architectural Woodwork Quality Standards, Guide Specifications and Quality Certification Program” guidelines of the Architectural Woodwork Institute where applicable. WilsonartW HD™ High Definition™ Laminates must be bonded to a substrate of reliable quality, such as particleboard, medium density fiberboard or plywood with one A face. High-pressure laminate, plaster, concrete and gypsum board should not be considered suitable substrates. High Definition laminates may not be used as structural members. Bond with adhesives and follow the techniques recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Recommended adhesives are permanent types, such as urea and polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and contact types. Wilsonart adhesives are recommended for most bonding conditions. To avoid stress cracking, do not use square-cut inside corners. All inside corners should have a minimum of 1/8” (3.175mm) radius and all edges should be routed smooth. Drill oversized holes for screws or bolts. Screws or bolts should be slightly countersunk into the face side of a laminate-clad substrate. Take care to ensure appropriate acclimation has taken place with the laminate and the substrate prior to fabrication. The face and backing laminates and the substrate should be conditioned in the same environment for 48 hours before fabrication. Recommended conditioning temperature is about 75RF (24FC). Laminates should be conditioned at 45% to 55% relative humidity. With postforming machinery, WilsonartW HD™ Type 376 and 366 will postform at a nominal sheet temperature range of 325eF to 338FF (163FC to 170CC) in 20 C 5 seconds. Carbide-tipped saw and router blades should be used for cutting. High tool speed and low feed speed are advisable. Cutting blades should be kept sharp. Use a hold-down to prevent any vibration.
