Durian Laminates (Cedar Decor Pvt Ltd) introduced anti-scratch laminates to cater premium grade customers’ demand. At present, they are offering six pastel colors in this range. Technically, this has been made using 300 gsm design papers, which have been impregnated in Europe. The laminate sheets made out of it are very high quality anti-scratch laminate. The company's officials claim that it is very much suitable for high-traffic areas or places that have to bear high abrasions. The offerings are only soft solid colours with a completely super matte finish. It is available in 1 mm thickness and can be customized if necessary.
"This product has the highest abrasion cycle of any laminate I have seen in my life. I think if applied in the right place, this will give a phenomenal performance. The right place means wherever you have the highest traffic where you feel scratch can be a problem, like any kitchen surface or table top, the showrooms where there is high volume, fun desks, clinics, etc. It can be customised which is in the 1mm Durian catalogue, "said Mr Vishal Dokania, Director, Durian Laminates, Cedar Decor Pvt. Ltd.
"I physically tried to scratch it with coins or a metal key, but it did not show scratches. Even with unreasonably high pressure, it cannot be scratched. Cleaning of every day stains such as coffee, tea, oil, butter, wine, pencil etc are very easy. As a result, it can be much more suitable for daily wear and tear or any high volume area such as malls, doctor's clinics, galleries, showrooms, and so on, "said Mr Vishal Dokania.
“For impregnation, the resin that is used is very high quality fine-tuned resin, which gives a fantastic surface. There is also anti-finger property but this is anti-scratch that I think is best in the industry. We have currently launched six soft pastel colours to gauge response, and if there is a positive response, we will expand our offerings, "he added.
