No resistance to heat. A laminate countertop does not have the ability to resist heat and burns. It can crack if it is exposed to hot objects such as hot skillets or a cup or steaming coffee. A laminate countertop requires the use of trivets and place mats when putting hot objects on its surface.
Satisfactory laminates for many applications can be made with Crystic 397 by curing at workshop temperature (20ÂºC). However, for optimum chemical, water and heat resistant properties, laminates must be post cured before being put into service. Mouldings should be allowed to cure for 24 hours at 20ÂºC and then be oven cured for 3 hours at 80ÂºC.
