Description
19mm Egger U599 TM Indigo Blue Lacquered Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in Germany by Egger, finished in the PerfectSense Matt lacquer range, part of the Blue Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and surface
Indigo Blue belongs to Egger’s Nearly Black tones, dark enough to sit close to black while still reading clearly as blue. It makes an elegant contrast to dark woodgrain decors such as walnut, while concrete or steel-effect decors give it a cooler look. The PerfectSense lacquer keeps reflections low across the whole surface, so the dark colour holds up under normal room lighting instead of catching unwanted shine. Fingerprints barely leave a trace here, the lacquer doing genuine work to keep the surface looking clean. The surface is tested for resistance to household liquids and chemicals under DIN 68861-1 and reaches class 1B. Wipe up spills such as tea, coffee and wine straight away.
Construction and performance
Melamine forms the base facing on both sides of this 19mm chipboard core, with the PerfectSense matt lacquer bonded on top of the visible face as the finished surface. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. This TM lacquer is rated for vertical applications only and is not suitable for horizontal surfaces such as worktops, desking or shelving. The square cut edge takes banding cleanly, and the panel can be cut to size for bespoke work. 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
19mm Egger board U599 TM Indigo Blue Lacquered MFC suits a range of interior fit-out work:
- Handleless kitchen cabinet fronts where a low-reflection surface matters most
- Bedside cabinet fronts and headboard panels in a bold bedroom scheme
- Vertical AV cabinetry and media unit fronts
- Feature wall panelling in dark, dramatic interiors
A colour-matched U599 TM ABS edging tape is available for this decor, supplied unglued in 1mm thickness for hot melt edgebanding machines.
