Description
19mm Egger U968 TM Carbon Grey Lacquered Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in Germany by Egger, finished in the PerfectSense Matt lacquer range, part of the Anthracite Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and Surface
Carbon Grey carries a cool, bluish undertone, restrained rather than saturated. Under the PerfectSense lacquer, that character comes through clearly, since the matt finish keeps reflections low and even across the surface. Fingerprints leave little trace here, the lacquer keeping the surface looking clean with minimal effort. It also holds up well against everyday stains and spills, tested and rated highly by Egger for resisting most household marks.
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 or horizontal surfaces with low stress only, such as light shelving, rather than for heavily used horizontal surfaces like worktops or desking. 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 U968 TM Carbon Grey Lacquered MFC suits a range of interior fit out work:
- Handleless kitchen cabinet fronts where fingerprints would otherwise show fastest
- Built-in media console fronts and vertical AV cabinetry
- Walk-in wardrobe interior doors and panelling
- Statement drinks cabinet or bar unit fronts
- Feature wall panelling in low-reflection, industrial-style schemes
- Light shelving units where a soft, low-sheen finish matters
Carbon Grey PerfectSense also comes as a matching ABS edging tape, unglued and supplied in 1mm thickness for hot melt edgebanding machines.
