•
Moisture Resistance: Good, but can be sensitive to
prolonged exposure to water at edges
•
Recycling: good
•
Applications: Medical worktops, countertops, furniture, wall panels, kitchen surfaces and interior
design.
•
Thermal Conductivity: ~16 W/m·K
•
Magnetic Properties: Most grades are non-magnetic
(e.g., 304), while some (e.g., 430) are magnetic
•
Recycling: good
•
Applications: Medical baskets and trays, kitchen
equipment, medical instruments, automotive parts,
construction, marine applications and pipelines.
Melamine
•
•
Material Type: Thermosetting resin (often used as a
coating or adhesive)
Density: ~1.3–1.4 g/cm³ (for melamine-coated surfaces)
•
Tensile Strength: ~60–70 MPa
•
Surface Hardness: High, resistant to scratching and
abrasion
Epoxy Coated Steel
•
Material Type: Steel coated with an epoxy resin
layer for enhanced corrosion protection
•
Coating Thickness: Typically 40–200 microns (depending on application)
•
Density: ~7.85 g/cm³ (for the steel base)
•
Tensile Strength: Same as the steel grade used
(varies by steel type)
•
Thermal Resistance: Typically up to ~100°C
•
Water Resistance: Moderate (resistant to some
moisture but not as durable as HPL under prolonged
exposure)
•
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent (epoxy provides a
protective layer against water, chemicals, and environmental conditions)
•
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many acids, bases, and oils
•
Impact Resistance: Moderate to good
•
•
Surface Finish: Glossy, matte, or textured
Temperature Resistance: Typically up to ~120°C, can
vary depending on the type of epoxy used
•
Recycling: moderate
•
•
Applications: Medical cabinets, kitchen countertops,
furniture panels, cabinetry and flooring (often as
melamine-faced boards).
Chemical Resistance: High resistance to acids, oils,
and other chemicals
•
Electrical Conductivity: Low (epoxy coating is an
electrical insulator)
•
Recycling: moderate to good
•
Applications: Medical racks and carts, pipes, tanks,
automotive parts, industrial equipment and electrical enclosures.
Stainless Steel
•
Material Type: Alloy of iron with chromium, nickel,
and sometimes other metals (e.g., molybdenum)
•
Density: ~7.75–8.05 g/cm³ (depending on alloy)
•
Tensile Strength: ~520–1,200 MPa (varies by grade)
•
Yield Strength: ~250–1,000 MPa (varies by grade)
•
Hardness: ~160–250 HV (depends on specific alloy)
•
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent (resistant to oxidation and corrosion in various environments, including
marine, chemical, and food processing)
•
Temperature Resistance: High (can withstand
temperatures up to ~870°C in continuous service,
depending on alloy)
