Description
18mm Egger U999 ST19 Black Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in the UK by Egger, part of the Black Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and Surface
U999 in ST19 combines a genuine, uncompromising black with the Deepskin Excellent texture, a mix of cut floret sections and linear areas that gives a lively, natural overall impression even on such a dark decor. That texture reads closer to real timber than a flat, single-tone panel, with matt and satin elements catching light differently as you move around it. Tested to EN 14323, the surface holds a stain resistance rating of 3 or higher, so everyday marks and spills lift 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, designed for dry interior use. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. The edge arrives square cut, ready for banding, and it takes further cutting and edge banding easily. 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 U999 ST19 Black MFC suits a range of interior fit-out work:

A colour matched ABS edging tape is available for this decor, supplied unglued in 0.8mm and 2mm thicknesses for use with hot melt edgebanding machines.
