High-Performance Compact Laminate
for Demanding Environments

Fundermax MaxResistance²: High-performance, chemical-resistant surfaces engineered for demanding interior applications where surfaces are exposed to chemicals, intensive use, impact and frequent cleaning.

From science laboratories and STEM classrooms to technical workshops and research facilities, materials must withstand chemicals, moisture, intensive use and frequent cleaning. For architects, facility managers and education facility managers and procurement professionals, selecting the right surfaces is an investment in safety, durability and long-term value.

Engineered for Demanding Environments

Fundermax MaxResistance² is a high-performance, thermosetting high-pressure laminate (HPL), manufactured under high pressure and temperature in accordance with EN 438-4, Type CGS, and SEFA 3 requirements.

Featuring an advanced, double-hardened surface made from specially developed polyurethane-acrylic resin, MaxResistance² delivers exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, solvents and scratches. Its durable, easy-to-clean and easy to sanitise surface is engineered to withstand demanding laboratory environments, helping maintain hygiene, protect work surfaces and extend the service life of laboratory installations.

The tested raw materials are processed under extreme pressure and temperature to form homogeneous, decorative panels. The uniform structure in the core and the closed surface make Max Resistance² permanently resistant to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress – ideal for the highest hygiene requirements.

Key performance benefits include:

• Chemical Resistance: Designed to resist a broad range of laboratory chemicals, acids and cleaning agents under specified exposure conditions.
• Exceptional Durability: Robust construction provides resistance to impact, abrasion and everyday wear.
• Moisture Resistance: Compact laminate construction delivers excellent performance in moisture-prone environments.
• Hygienic Surfaces: Smooth, non-porous finishes support effective cleaning and hygiene management.
• Long-Term Value: Durable materials help minimise maintenance, premature replacement and disruption.

These characteristics make MaxResistance² particularly suitable for educational environments where performance, safety and reliability are essential.

The Value of Long-Term Performance

While lower-cost materials may reduce initial expenditure, ongoing exposure to chemicals, moisture and heavy use can accelerate deterioration, resulting in costly repairs and premature replacement.

Specifying high-performance surfaces helps educational institutions protect their infrastructure investment while reducing maintenance demands and operational disruption.

MaxResistance² offers a practical solution for facilities seeking durability, functionality and whole-of-life value.

Applications Across Education

MaxResistance² is suitable for a variety of specialist educational environments, including:

• Science laboratories and chemical preparation areas
• STEM classrooms and technical workshops
• University research and teaching facilities
• Vocational training laboratories
• Specialist educational workspaces

Its performance characteristics support both new construction and refurbishment projects.
