WHY SOLID PHENOLIC COMPACT?

Chemical Resistant Solid Phenolic Compact (SPC) by Durcon is one of the most durable decorative surface materials of its type. SPC is composed of multiple layers of kraft paper saturated with phenolic resin and impregnated overlays are Electron Beam Cured (EBC) and fused together using heat and pressure of over 1,000 psi. The curing process transforms the resin into plastic by a cross-linking process that converts the paper sheets into a solid, self-supporting structure. Our EBC process provides the highest levels of scratch resistance and the thermoset irreversible bonds further contribute to SPC's durability.
