Description
19mm Egger U604 TM Reed Green Lacquered Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in Germany by Egger, finished in the PerfectSense Matt lacquer range, part of the Green Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and surface
Reed Green is the cooler variant among Egger’s greyish greens, restrained rather than saturated. It looks natural and elegant next to medium to dark brown woodgrain decors, while lighter wood decors give it a fresher feel. Under the PerfectSense lacquer, the surface has a soft, matt feel rather than the flatter finish of standard melamine. Fingerprints leave little trace here, the anti-fingerprint properties built into the lacquer doing genuine work to keep everyday handling from showing. 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 U604 TM Reed Green Lacquered MFC suits a range of interior fit-out work:

- Reception desk fronts in a calm, professional scheme
