Plytech Green

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.
