USBC approved Switch synthetic lanes and pin decks made by the world-leading laminate manufacturer ABET Laminati in Italy. The lanes are made of a 10mm-thick laminate that complies with EN 438 and ISO 4586 norms. Thickness is achieved using sheets of craft paper impregnated with thermosetting resins. The resultant panel is then subjected to the combined action of pressure (9MPa) and heat (150°C) in special presses in which the resins polycondense.
The end result meets special requirements, such as self-supporting properties, good dimensional stability and flatness, high-impact resistance, high resistance to wear, high resistance to chemical and organic solvents and excellent resistance to fire.
