Trespa Athlon has an unrivalled performance. It is extremely scratch and wear resistant and not adversely affected by moisture. Furnished with a high chemical resistance, this panel material can withstand cleaning even with aggressive disinfectants. These cleaning agents impair neither the properties nor the appearance of the panel. What's more, a favorable combination of flexural strength and elasticity make Trespa Athlon highly impact resistant.
Where is Trespa Athlon used?
Trespa Athlon was specially designed for interior applications such as:
- Wall cladding, partitions, lockers and cubicles in wet and damp areas.
- Wall cladding in rooms that require aggressive cleaning such as: operating theatres, laboratories and pharmaceutical and food production environments.
- Changing rooms.
- Laboratory furniture.
- Furniture such as: office and educational furniture, reception desks, cabinets, tables, vanity units and the like.
Trespa Athlon is also frequently used for:
- hand and crash rails in hospital and pharmaceutical corridors
- kitchen, food preparation and serving areas
- advertising displays and signs.
- shop fittings
Ideal for intensive use
As an extremely versatile material, with excellent properties, Trespa Athlon is ideal for use in all public and leisure
buildings and for furniture subject to intensive use.
Resistant to wear
Trespa Athlon is highly resistant to wear,
making it ideal for installation where
heavy use and frequent cleaning are
expected.
Scratch resistant
The special surface structure and
durability of Trespa Athlon provides
excellent scratch resistance. Even in
heavy-duty use, the panel retains its
appearance for a very long time.
Simple to clean
The closed, non-porous surface of Trespa
Athlon does not attract dirt.
This means that the panel can easily be
cleaned either with normal cleaning
agents or even with strong disinfectants,
because the material is chemically
resistant. It's also easy to clean graffiti,
for which an organic solvent should be
used - there's no danger of affecting the
color.
Good chemical resistance
Trespa Athlon has a high resistance to
organic solvents such as acetone, toluene,
xylene and similar substances. The panel
is also resistant to disinfectants and cleaning
chemicals as well as food juices and dyes,
which affect neither the properties nor
the appearance. However, where
concentrated, strong acids are frequently
used we recommend the extremely
chemical resistant Trespa TopLab.
Resistant to moisture
Trespa Athlon is not adversely affected
by moisture and is not susceptible to
weathering, mold or rot. Both the surface
and the core are manufactured using
specific, thermosetting resins, which
make them impervious to moisture.
The dimensional stability and workability
of Trespa Athlon are comparable to
those of hardwood.
Impact resistant
The combination of a solid, homogenous
core with a hard surface based on
melamine resins gives the panel
exceptional impact resistance.
This is confirmed by its day-to-day practical use e.g.
as wall cladding in public rooms and
rooms susceptible to vandalism, or as
bumper rails in hospital corridors.
Heat resistant
The surface of Trespa Athlon is highly
resistant when in contact with burning
cigarettes.
Safe fire behavior
The material does not catch fire and flake
off. The fire behavior of
Trespa Athlon is comparable to that of
hardwood. The panel material
does not melt, drip or explode and
retains its stability for a long period of
time.
Suitable for applications in the food industry
The FDA (Food and Drugs
Administration) has authorized Trespa
Athlon for use in the food industry. The
panel material is permitted to come into
direct contact with foods during
preparation and preservation without
any problems.
Anti-static
Trespa Athlon is designated as an
anti-static material - in accordance with
DIN 51 953 and DIN 53 482. This
makes the panel particularly suitable for
applications in clean rooms, as computer
furniture or in the optical industry.
Radiation
Trespa Athlon can be penetrated by
X-rays, so it is often used in the medical
treatment sector.
