Trespa Athlon
Trespa Athlon panels are specifically designed for interior applications. Their integrated decorative surface is designed for intensive use. It is impact, scratch and wear resistant. Panels are easy to keep clean and as they do not absorb or retain moisture they can be cleaned frequently, using standard cleaning agents and certain disinfectants.
Impact resistant
The combination of a solid, homogenous core with a hard surface based on melamine resins gives Trespa Athlon exceptional impact resistance. This is confirmed by its day-to-day practical use as wall cladding in public rooms and rooms susceptible to vandalism, sanitary cubicles or as bumper rails in hospital corridors.
Scratch and Wear 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. Trespa Athlon is commonly used as office or laboratory worktop.
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. 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. Authorised testing bodies throughout the world have confirmed that Trespa Athlon Fire Retardant grade (FR) panels fall within one of the most favourable fire classes.
The choice to use either standard modified panels or fire-retardant modified (FR) panels depends on the nature and the intended use of the building project. National and/or regional fire regulations are decisive in this respect.
Environmental Considerations
Environmental considerations play a significant role in the development and manufacture of Trespa panels. Trespa International was one of the first producers of panel material to be certified according to ISO 14001, awarded by Lloyd’s Register. The ISO 14001 standard describes the steps required for setting up, implementing, maintaining and improving a completely integrated environmental management system.
