How to identify the quality of decorative paper
When purchasing decorative paper, you need to first pay attention to the appearance of the board. Good quality decorative paper has clear and uniform surface texture, no water marks, no black spots, uniform and bright color, transparent surface, and small surface color difference. Therefore, when selecting boards, we should pay attention to choosing decorative paper with the same texture, and we should also choose boards with small color difference.
In addition, we should also ensure that there is no mold on the bottom of the board, and there is no serious deformation and bending on the entire board surface. The melamine veneer on the surface of the board should reach a certain thickness, not too thin, and the veneer should not have cracks, wrinkles, etc.
We should also pay attention to whether there is any debonding between the surface of the decorative paper veneer and the board substrate. We should choose boards with high bonding strength. We can use the following method to test it. Use a sharp flat blade to pry the board along the glue layer. If the glue layer is damaged and the substrate is not damaged, it means that the board has poor bonding strength.
