Evenex
Timber, concrete and metal look panels
About
Evenex™—unrivalled wood, concrete and metal look and feel in an environmentally friendly Australian made panel. Unlike regular laminates, vinyls and CPLs, the Evenex face contains no formaldehyde, phenols, solvents, PVC or melamine, making it the perfect choice for use in spaces where air quality is a priority such as: homes, caravans, Greenstar, education, health, child and aged care projects, in fact any area sensitive to the polluting impact of interior products will appreciate its E0 rating and resistance to mould and micro-organisms.
Panels are recyclable and available with FSC® certification on request.
Made with pure wood fibre, printed with a synchronised texture, Evenex has a polished finish like timber veneer making it ideal for interior vertical surfaces in residential and commercial applications; kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes, furniture, doors and wall panelling all benefit from its realistic appearance, tactility and value for money. Panels are available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses and offered with a range of matching 1mm ABS edging. Evenex is also available with a laminate or paper backing in a thickness of 0.6mm for application to curved profiles.

Advantages
CLPL® is a new technology for achieving a realistic timber, concrete, metal or stone look. The principal advantages of CLPL® (continuous low pressure laminate) over traditional CPL (continuous pressed laminate) are:
- Printing inks do not contain heavy metals.
- Impregnation process is not a bath
(as in CPL production) but via direct contact thereby retaining the clarity of the image. - Synchronised grain impression produces a 3D effect that replicates real wood, etc.
- No added formaldehyde.
- No colour difference between flat and curved or profiled details, eg, the same laminate can be used for door mouldings and door panel.
- Under lateral impact, it deforms in an elastic way without cracking.
Material Handling and Maintenance
- Evenex is a continuous low pressure laminate pressed onto E0 MR MDF board. The standard thickness of the laminate is .2mm.
- Evenex panels do not have a melamine surface but rather a lacquered surface and therefore a lower resistance to surface wear and scratching than standard laminates.
- Evenex is recommended for vertical and light-duty horizontal use only
- DO NOT drag/slide sheets across one another
- Stack panels onto a flat surface, avoid leaning against walls for a prolonged period to reduce the chance of bowing
- Evenex is not recommended for outdoor use
- Clean with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and warm soapy water, DO NOT use harsh chemicals. If you do want to try a chemical please do so on an off-cut.
- AVOID applying adhesive tapes to the face and back of Evenex panels as many contain solvents which will affect the face of the material. Heat and a prolonged period of the tape being on the face can also increase the chance of damaging the surface. Should tape need to be used, refer to the Adhesive Tape Report on TESA 4308 tape under Downloads below.
