Alkorcell

An Alkorcell door is similar to one made with polymers: it consists of a decorative sheeting based on polypropylene (PP) without halogen, plasticizers and formaldehyde. A thermosetting paint gives the sheeting the strength necessary for use in the furniture industry. From a technical point of view, Alkorcell laminate is a continuous plastic coating that is highly performing in many different ways. Non-toxic, uncontaminated with components harmful to health and environmentally friendly, it is also impermeable: in fact, Alkorcell products resist moisture, mould and micro-organisms.

Technical data

An Alkorcell door is similar to one made with polymers: it consists of a decorative sheeting based on polypropylene (PP) without halogen, plasticizers and formaldehyde. A thermosetting paint gives the sheeting the strength necessary for use in the furniture industry. For processes with different gluing systems, the sheeting is reinforced on the back with a primer and the gluing is done with dispersion or hot melt or solvent glues. From a technical point of view, Alkorcell laminate is a continuous plastic coating that is highly performing in many different ways. Non-toxic, uncontaminated with components harmful to health and environmentally friendly, it is also impermeable: in fact, Alkorcell products resist moisture, mould and micro-organisms. For all these reasons, it is a safe material, suitable for contact with food products: odourless and tasteless, it guarantees hygiene and ease of use in the kitchen. When burned it does not produce toxic or corrosive gases: it has a combustion completely similar to that of wood with a production of light-coloured fumes. Therefore it is particularly safe in eliminating processing residues. An Alkorcell door can be smooth or with a frame, solid coloured or with the appearance of wood. In the wood version, the textured finish is both pleasant to the touch and has an important aesthetic impact that makes Alkorcell a safe and stylish choice.

Maintenance

To clean this type of door it is advisable to use only a soft, slightly dampened microfibre cloth, adding a mild detergent free of solvents or aggressive substances in case of stains and grease. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth, especially along the door joints. In case of more resistant dirt, it is possible to use soft sponges with liquid detergents, e.g. detergents for glass or specific for plastic surfaces. Avoid the use of rough sponges, metal scouring pads, abrasive creams or powdered cleaning products. For limescale use detergents containing acetic acid (10-15% formulation), citric acid or, for lighter stains, warm water and baking soda. Do not use alcohol, acetone or detergents containing chlorine, bleach or ammonia. Cleaning with steam jets is absolutely forbidden because the plastic materials could deform. Pay particular attention to the care of the edges, which must not be subjected to excess heat, water or humidity.
