Worktops based on particle boards are made by the postforming process. They are characterised by a wide range of decors, aesthetic values, ease of installation and maintainability as well as durability and resistance to various external agents.

Advantages :

• resistant to stains such as coffee, red wine or ink stain
• resistant to daylight and UV radiation (no colour fading)
• resistance to scratching, dent and abrasion – laminates (CPL AND HPL) used for worktops production are made in accordance with the standard PN-EN 438 – usual household-activities, except cutting, grinding and striking with any sharp / bunt tools, are allowed
• resistant to steam – the steam does not penetrate inside the worktop and does not cause delamination of the board- it relates to worktop surface. When white goods / home appliances are installed with worktop on the top of them, its bottom side has to be additionally and effectively protected from steam influence
• resistance to higher temperature allows to place directly on a worktop a dish of hot water, except any dish with an iron or metal undersurface. In such cases the insulating pads should be used
• resistant to chemical compounds,
• hygiene class: E1

All above mentioned features relate to worktop surface.

All SWISS KRONO worktops have antibacterial properties. Suchproperties mean that bacteria do not grow on their surfaces. Antibacterial activity tests have been performed in accordance with ISO 22196:2011 against two bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli), and their results confirm that the worktop surface inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

Application

• for the production of furniture
• as interior finishing elements, e.g. kitchen worktops, counters, tables, desks, shelves
