It's what's inside that matters.
Classic Core offers a construction of veneer core inner plies and MDF cross-bands. The panel thickness dictates the actual thickness of the MDF used in the construction. Although Classic Core still falls within the HPVA thickness tolerance of +0 / -3/64″, the engineered MDF cross bands provide more consistent thickness tolerances compared with single-step, all-veneer core construction. A construction upgrade is available where NAUF MDF crossbands are replaced with pMDI bonded MDF cross bands for a no-added formaldehyde construction. Classic Core with pMDI crossbands are sold under the PureBond® brand name.
J Classic Core Core is constructed with a thin MDF crossband, thus this panel has an overall increased volume of veneer inner ply, weighing less than regular Classic Core referenced above. The thin composite lines in the profile of this panel are thinner which is important in applications with an exposed edge. The “J” designation also means this platform is pre-sanded before face and back decorative veneers are applied. This is referred to as “two-step” construction, yielding tighter tolerances panel to panel. J Classic Core offers superior features in terms of strength, stability, weight, surface quality and thickness consistency. This platform fits the bill for end users that operate CNC equipment that requires tighter tolerances. For end users that need a core that is closer to a full 3/4″ Columbia offers a 19.5mm (.767) J Classic Core. A construction upgrade is available where NAUF MDF crossbands are replaced with pMDI bonded MDF cross bands for a no-added formaldehyde construction. Classic Core with pMDI crossbands are sold under the PureBond® brand name.
Classic Lam is designed as a lamination blank where the same MDF and veneer inner ply construction is provided without the decorative wood veneer overlays. Applications to consider for Classic Lam would include laminating, custom veneer lay-up and painted applications. Where even tighter tolerances are required, ask about our J Classic Lam options. A construction upgrade is available where NAUF MDF crossbands are replaced with pMDI bonded MDF cross bands for a no-added formaldehyde construction. Classic Core with pMDI crossbands are sold under the PureBond® brand name.
