MEC Panel

Don’t Let Your Cabinets Become Hazardous


moldy cabinet picture		 The Issue: Microscopic mold spores are easily germinated and then transported into the air we breathe and can be absorbed into our eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. It is estimated that approximately 30 percent of the population is allergic to mold and suffer adverse health effects because of it. The “Cabinets of Yesterday” (i.e. High-Pressure Laminate) have done nothing to help alleviate the issue.
The Answer: Today, many of the ways mold and bacteria germinate can be controlled and the answer lies with MEC Panel! In Fact, MEC Panel is changing the way that the Medical, Laboratory, and Food Industries are handling the problems of mold and bacteria regarding their cabinetry. MEC Panel has been approved by: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Canada Department of Agriculture, and it meets NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) Specifications approved for food applications.
Benefits: MEC Panel has been designed to be used in the medical, laboratory and food industries. MEC Panel is a product that in the future can be 100% recycled with the manufacturer. The fabrication benefits with MEC Panel lie in its ablilty to withstand:

  • Impact Resistance
  • Resistance to Chipping, Breaking, Cracking, Peeling, Splintering, and Bending
  • Resistance to Bacteria and Micro-Organisms
  • Chemical Resistance
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • UV Stabilaztion
  • Will Not Delaminate
  • Superior Flatness
  • Easily Cleaned
Application Areas:
