Quotation from Starbank's LinkedIn post.

Manufacturing can be frustrating at times, especially when the health & safety initiatives you invest in for the safety of your team and facility stop you from processing a certain product.

Highly attractive surfaces - without the spark!!

Over the years this frustration has firmly sat with Magnetic HPL, as by its very nature incorporating metal sheet or foils - they do have a risk of sparking!!

So all in all not ideal within a woodworking environment especially with an extraction system that has spark detection to keep everyone and everything safe.

This got us thinking - how can we work with this product to be able to Bond, Cut, Edge & CNC the components for our customers within the fit out industry. The overwhelming answer was that we couldn't take the risk and would ultimately have to decline the opportunities.

This didn't sit well with us so we got our thinking caps on - and a couple of years later we have pleasure in today introducing MAGcore™ to the market.

MAGcore™ has eliminated sparking completely which means we can now not only process a magnetic sheet we have the added benefit ( unique in our industry ) of upgrading any commercially available HPL to a magnetic finish.

Imagine the potential - Any Laminate, Any Colour, Instantly Magnetic

We will be producing MAGcore™ predominately in two different sheet sizes - 2440 x 1220 & 3050 x 1220 which can then be transformed into bespoke magnetic or magnetic & dry wipe furniture and commercial components.

Core thickness starts from 9mm and we can finish and edge up to 60mm overall. Just add your chosen HPL to the face - either single sided or we can process a dual magnetic finish and leave the rest up to us.

MAGcore™ is not brand restrictive which will help to maintain specifications where this feature may well have been an issue in procuring into the design intent.

MDF core will remain the substrate of choice - but this can be standard, moisture resistant or flame retardant grade - which will not affect the magnetism of the panel.
