what is tfl?
It’s about time — for TFL.
They’ve been called a number of things
over the years — decorative melamine
overlays, thermally fused melamine, low
pressure laminates. No wonder there has
been so much confusion in the market
about what they are and why they are. In
2012, the industry collectively agreed to
use one simple and accurate descriptor
for these high-performing, cost-effective
surface overlays: Thermally Fused
Laminates, or TFL.
TFL are resin-saturated papers that are
thermoset under high heat and pressure to a substrate (particle board, MDF,
plywood and others) to form a durable,
beautiful and consistent appearance for
a wide variety of applications.
Not just another pretty facing, TFL offers
a variety of distinct characteristics and
options that create opportunity up and
down the value chain, from manufacturer
to architect and more.

Designing Opportunity
Opportunity takes vision — the ability to see potential. It takes creativity and
innovation — the ability to make things happen. And it takes collaboration —
a willingness to work together to create new products and better ways of doing
things. For decades, Arclin has been working with our customers and partners
to develop surface overlays, resins and other chemical solutions that meet
market needs — and continually raise the bar still higher.
We lead the North American market in Thermally Fused Laminates (TFL), in
design, manufacturing and technical expertise and support. Today, we’re
raising that bar. It’s how we create opportunity. It’s by design.
Vision
Arclin provides a robust portfolio of TFL designs. Highly durable, design-forward, cost
effective and distinct. And ready on-demand or via custom order for a wide variety of
applications and industries, from flooring to cabinetry, retail to healthcare.
Creativity & Innovation
We’re carefully culling our portfolio to ensure our designs meet current customer needs
and create new demand. Our technical teams are also working with our customers to continually improve manufacturing processes to boost performance and efficiencies,
and to open doors to new application possibilities.
Collaboration
Good chemistry is more than science; it’s how people engage to ensure optimal outcomes.
It’s long been the hallmark of Arclin’s approach to our customers — a scientific, engineering, sales and service partnership that creates opportunity throughout the value chain.
now let’s design something together.

TFL from Arclin is created by
saturating decorative papers with
our proprietary, high performance
resin. That resin activates under
heat and pressure to fuse directly
to a substrate to create a uniform,
durable and secure bond.

For the right applications,
TFL is a highly cost-effective
alternative to other decorative
surface options, such as HPL
and veneer. Arclin’s sophisticated resin systems eliminate the
need for multiple layers of base
paper and our manufacturing
expertise enables us to maximize yield and reduce waste.
Even our geography plays
a part; with facilities across
North America, we’re able to
ship these lighter-weight overlays economically throughout
the U.S. and Canada.

Innovation isn’t just about 2D design. Customized steel
plates enable panel manufacturers to create 3D surface
textures that evoke wood and stone grains, create abstract
designs, even mimic diamond-plate. Talk about possibility.

is designing a new generation of decorative surfaces.
