Polaris HPL panels are now manufactured using bio-based lignin glue replacing traditional fossil phenol to create a more environmentally friendly panel. 

Lignin is a recyclable and ecologically friendly product, found in the cell walls of almost all dry-land plants and is a by-product of the paper kraft-pulping process. It is a wood component that gives plants shape and stability as a kind of connector, solidifying the cell walls.

Using bio-based lignin in the manufacturing process significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the Polaris HPL panels from production to final end-use applications — without compromising quality or technical performance of the panel.

Polaris HPL Super Matt panels are manufactured using electricity produced from 100% renewable energy sources with official guarantees of origin.

Food Safety
Verification tests according to ISO 22196 / JIS Z 2801 conducted by an accredited laboratory to measure the antibacterial performance, demonstrate that the bacterial load is reduced by 99.9% after 24 hours. The structure of Polaris with its high degree of cross-linking makes its surface compact and non-porous. This characteristic doesn’t allow bacterial, fungal and / or micro-organisms colonies to penetrate and proliferate.

About the
Seller

Décortech have been market leaders in acoustic and decorative wall and ceiling linings since 2002. Décortech offers a complete program of decorative, acoustic and fire resistant panels, combined with standard or fully customised perforations to suit your design requirements. We are a New Zealand owned company and all our panels are manufactured in our Penrose factory.

Our years of experience means we have in place a stringent process to minimise errors in the manufacturing and delays on site. Shop drawings for every panel are included in our service to ensure that the panels are made right, first time. This process has been invaluable to our installers as potentially costly mistakes are picked up on paper and fixed before they become problems during construction.

When working with Real Timber Veneer, Décortech work closely with architects to ensure the best outcome. We have in place a control sample archive for completed projects to help minimise veneer inconsistencies should extra panels be required at a later date. Décortech will also work closely with suppliers of other veneered items to ensure a better project consistency.

All standard Décortech panels have been tested for Acoustic performance by Marshall Day Acoustics making it easy to specify panels to achieve required NRC and open area values.

The Décortech Paintline is used to pre-finish most of our panels. The Paintline allows us to provide a high quality finish with a computer controlled application giving a perfect, run free appearance every time. Our specially developed UV cured paint or clear finishes are hard wearing, scratch resistant and ensure a dust free final product. Panels come off the line dry allowing us to keep lead times to a minimum. Pre-finished Décortech panels mean a controllable and pre-determined panel appearance and finish quality.

At Décortech we have years of experience behind us and have been part of some of New Zealand’s most prestigious projects. We have delivered many high end commercial projects building a reputation for quality. In 2010 we completed Wellington Airport, one of our most demanding projects. There were over 500 shop drawings created to achieve the complex and unique angled triangular panels. The results are outstanding and well worth the effort.

At Décortech we have the ability to make your project come to life. Talk to us today for further information or to request samples.
