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 reads as an almost-black blue, deep and full of character rather than flat. The PerfectSense lacquer keeps reflections low across the whole surface, so that depth 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.
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 suitable for vertical surfaces or horizontal surfaces that only get light use, such as shelves. It isn’t intended for heavily used surfaces like worktops or desks. 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 tables and bed frame panels in a bold bedroom scheme.
- Vertical AV cabinetry and media unit fronts.
- Light shelving units where a soft, low-sheen finish stands out.
- 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.
