2. Product Description
Recommended Uses
Wilsonart® VDL is suitable for use on fine quality residential and contract furniture, fixtures and
casework, and also for architectural application on columns, wainscoting, valances, cornices, interior
doors and divider systems.
• Vertical Surface (VGP) Type 362 and 367 is the usual choice to surface cabinet walls, doors and
drawer panels. It often appears on the vertical surfaces of desks, restaurants booths and maitre
d’ stations, and as architectural cladding. Type 362 and 367 is intended for vertical applications
where a functional, durable, decorative surface must absorb somewhat less impact than a
comparable horizontal surface. VGP surfaces may be postformed to achieve radiused edges.
• Postforming (HGP) Type 372 and 377 adds the decorative capability of a soft edge to any typical
laminate use. Common applications of postforming laminates are formed edges for counters,
desktops, cabinet doors and drawer panels. Type 372 and 377 is intended for use on vertical and
horizontal interior surfaces where it is necessary or desirable to roll the laminate on a simple
radius over the edge of the substrate. This eliminates seams and leaves an attractive surface.
Product Composition
Decorative surface papers impregnated with melamine resins are pressed over kraft paper core
sheets impregnated with phenolic resin. These sheets are then bonded at pressures greater than
1000 pounds per square inch at temperatures approaching 300°F (149°C). Finished sheets are
trimmed, and the backs are sanded to facilitate bonding.
Basic Limitations
Wilsonart VDL Laminate is for interior use only and is not recommended for direct application to
plaster, concrete walls, or gypsum wallboard. It is not structural material and must be bonded to a
suitable substrate.
Do not subject Wilsonart VDL Laminate to extremes in humidity, temperatures higher than 275°F
(135°C) for substantial periods of time, or intense, continuous, direct sunlight.
