Construction
The Zylo “BX” range of pipe boxings are
manufactured in two and three sided profile shapes,
namely BX2 and BX3. They are formed out of an inner
core of 9mm moisture resistant medium density fibreboard,
mitred to 90 degrees and wrapped in a seamless outer
coating of white resin impregnated foil which serves
as a finish in its own right or as a base for applying
a paint top coat directly to the product. The resultant
corner joints have a radius of approximately 1.5mm.
Standard
Finish
Medium Duty Foil (white)
For general use.
Standard white
amino plastic resin impregnated foil offers an attractive,
low cost surface finish, with a very acceptable smooth,
flat surface. It has a good resistance to abrasion,
scratches and a wide range of chemicals. When used as
a base coat it has the desirable property of being a
substitute for priming and undercoating, enabling a
top coat to be applied directly to its surface. The
majority of paints such as polyurethanes and acrylics
adhere well to the surface. The final physical characteristics
and resistance to chemicals will depend upon the applied
finish.
Non-standard
Finish to Order
High Duty Laminate (white gloss)
For bathrooms, hospitals, schools, kitchens, public
areas, etc.
Recommended for areas requiring high abrasion and scratch
resistance combined with a seamless easy to clean surface.
This high performance polyester laminate consists of
a core paper impregnated with polyester resin and laminated
in a special process under pressure and heat. A transparent
protective layer of pure polyester with UV-absorber
is added to the outer surface to increase the already
high light stability of the finish underneath. This
finish conforms to DIN 53799, the results of which are
