Product Overview
Phenolic partitions are manufactured by compressing layers of kraft paper saturated in phenolic resin under high heat and pressure, producing a solid panel with an impact- and moisture-resistant core. There is no honeycomb, no laminate skin to peel, and no rust path. Phenolic is the go-to material for high-traffic public restrooms, transit hubs, schools with vandalism concerns, and any facility where the partition needs to outlast everything around it.
- Solid through-color phenolic core — no skin to peel
- Will not rust, dent, or delaminate
- Excellent moisture and humidity resistance
- Graffiti and impact resistant
- Class A fire rating available
- 15-year warranty on most lines
Best Applications
Phenolic shines in airports, train stations, stadiums, K-12 and university restrooms, correctional facilities, and any environment that combines high traffic with potential vandalism. Because the color runs through the panel, scratches and graffiti can be sanded out without exposing a different substrate.
