Applications

Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate is designed to be used in interior

applications. The product must be bonded to a suitable substrate, such

as particleboard, medium density fiberboard, plywood with one A face,

previously bonded high pressure decorative laminate, low pressure

laminate (melamine board), latex painted, stained, or varnished wood

surfaces. Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate may be installed on flat

surfaces in both vertical and horizontal applications.

Basic Limitations

Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate is not recommended for direct

application to plaster, concrete walls, gypsum wallboard, polypropylene,

polyethylene, polystyrene, or powder coated surfaces. Do not subject

Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate to extremes in humidity, temperatures

higher than 150°F for substantial periods of time, or intense, continuous,

direct sunlight. Do not apply Wilsonart RE-COVER laminate if the surface

temperature of the laminate or the substrate is below 50°F.

Shipping and Storage

Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate may be shipped flat or rolled in a box.

When shipped in a box, Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate must have

the adhesive rolled to the outside (decorative side in). When Wilsonart®

RE-COVER™ laminate is shipped flat), it must have the adhesive side

facing down (decorative side up). For long term storage, Wilsonart® RE-

COVER™ laminate should be stored flat (horizontally) with the adhesive

side facing down (decorative side up).

It is important to properly acclimate both the Wilsonart® RE-COVER™

laminate and the substrate prior to bonding. Condition both the laminate

and the substrate in the same environment for 48 hours before

fabrication. If rolled, unroll the Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate for the

48 hour acclimation period. Recommended conditioning and acclimation

is 75°F and 50% relative humidity.
