Thermally Fused Melamine (TFM)

Thermally Fused Melamine

Material Composition

TFM is created by fusing a decorative paper layer with melamine resin directly onto a substrate like particleboard or MDF using heat and pressure. The melamine layer is impregnated with resin to form a hard, durable surface.

Appearance

TFM also offers a variety of finishes, including solid colors, wood grains, and other patterns. The finish tends to be more matte compared to the often glossy look of RTF.

Durability

TFM is highly durable, resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. It generally withstands higher temperatures better than RTF and does not peel.

Applications

Widely used for cabinetry, office furniture, store fixtures, and countertops. It is particularly favored for high-traffic areas due to its durability.
