Description
18mm Egger U504 ST9 Tyrolean Blue Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in the UK by Egger, part of the Blue Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and Surface
Tyrolean Blue is a strong, classic blue, deep enough to make a statement but never harsh. It’s the kind of colour that anchors a room rather than sitting quietly in the background. ST9 Smoothtouch Matt keeps the surface calm and even, with a soft, velvety feel that suits the boldness of the colour underneath. Tested to EN 14323, the surface holds a stain resistance rating of 3 or higher, so everyday marks and spills wipe away without damaging the finish.
Construction and Performance
The chipboard core is faced on both sides with resin-impregnated decorative paper pressed into a durable melamine surface, finished with a square cut edge ready for banding. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. You can cut, drill, and edge-band it using standard woodworking equipment. It is intended for dry interior applications. It can be used for kitchen cabinets and furniture, but should not be installed where the board or exposed edges will be subject to persistent moisture, standing water or direct wetting.
Where to Use It
18mm Egger board U504 ST9 Tyrolean Blue MFC suits a range of interior fit-out work:
