Impact Resistant
The combination of a solid, homogenous core with a hard surface based on melamine resins gives Trespa Athlon exceptional impact resistance. It provides a reasonable cost laboratory worktop that gives years of maintenance free use.
Scratch Resistant
The special surface structure and durability provide excellent scratch resistance. Even in heavy-duty use, Trespa Athlon retains its appearance for a very long time. The panel is highly resistant to wear, making it ideal for installation where heavy use and frequent cleaning are expected.
Moisture Resistant
Trespa Athlon is not adversely affected by moisture and is not susceptible to discoloration, mould or rot. Both the surface and the core are manufactured using specific, thermosetting resins, which make them impervious to moisture. The dimensional stability and workability of Trespa Athlon are comparable to those of hardwood.
Safe Fire Behaviour
Trespa Athlon is heat resistant and meets the requirements of national and international fire classifications for safe fire behaviour. Due to the high density, Trespa Athlon ignites at relatively high temperature and carbonises in a way similar to (hard)wood. The panel material does not melt, drip or explode and retains its stability for a long period of time.
Environmental Considerations
Life Cycle analysis and reports by independent third parties confirm that Trespa products impact the environment less than alternative materials.
