FINETOP io

Vinyl Chloride Resin Decorative Steel Sheet (VINYTOP)

FINETOP io is a decorative steel plate manufactured using a proprietary lamination method that makes full use of the features of E sheets and TFS. This plate is manufactured using an environmentally friendly process and offers both cost efficiency and superior performance.

Film Structure

Uses (Where Employed Successfully)

Room dividers (ideal for setting up office cubicles)

Features

Fire resistance
FINETOP io offers superior fire resistance and has been certified by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport as non-flammable.
Adhesiveness
Because the E sheet and main plate adhere to each other strongly, the film does not crack even if a low-temperature or high-impact process is performed.
Workability
FINETOP io offers superior workability and will not crack even when subjected to a 90 degree or OT bend.
Chemical resistance
FINETOP io has good alkali and acid resistance, and cannot be stained by felt pens.
Electrification performance
Compared to normal colored steel plates, FINETOP io offers a low level of electrification.
