Industrial Overlays

Industrial films/overlays are normally based on phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins, melamine formaldehyde (MF) resins or a combination of both. One of the main applications of industrial films/overlays is the production of a surface coating for plywood used, for example, in concrete forming applications. These films/overlays range from papers with a basis weight of 40-80 g/m², known as phenolic surface films (PSF) and high density overlays (HDO), to films/overlays with a basis weight of >100 g/m², known as medium density overlays (MDO). Other uses of industrial films/overlays are closely related to PSF, HDO and MDO films/overlays and include applications such as durable truck decking, non-slip industrial flooring and moisture barriers. MÜNZING offers a variety of FENTAK® additives for the manufacturing process of industrial films/overlays, such as wetting or release agents, colorants, defoamers and plasticizers.
