Trespa Athlon is a flat panel for interior applications based on thermosetting resins, homogeneously reinforced with cellulosic fibres and manufactured under high pressure and temperature. Using special techniques, the panels have an integrated, decorative surface with melamine-impregnated paper.
Trespa Athlon is not affected by moisture, mould and rot do not occur. Both the surface and the core are made of thermosetting resins, which make them impervious to moisture.
The special surface structure and durability of Trespa Athlon make it highly scratch resistant. The panel retains its excellent properties for a very long time, even after intensive use. Tests in accordance with EN 438-2/91 prove that Trespa Athlon is highly resistant to wear. This means that the panel can be applied where it will be used intensively and cleaned often.
The closed non-porous surface of Trespa Athlon does not attract dirt. Trespa Athlon panels can be cleaned with either normal cleaning agents or with strong disinfectants because the material is chemically resistant. Graffitti can easily be removed with an organic solvent without danger of affecting the colour.
Early on, we recognized the importance of an independant life cycle-analysis. Today Trespa can prove the ecological impact of its products - from the raw material and production process to the application and recycling.
Trespa Athlon has a good resistance to organic solvents such as acetone, toluene, xylene and similar substances. The panel is also resistant to disinfectants and detergents, food juices and dyes. These affect neither the properties nor the appearance of the panel.
