Designing Opportunity
what is tfl?It’s about time — for TFL.They’ve been called a number of things over the years — decorative melamine overlays, thermally fused melamine, low pressure laminates. No wonder there has been so much confusion in the market about what they are and why they are. In 2012, the industry collectively agreed to use one simple and accurate descriptor for these high-performing, cost-effective surface overlays: Thermally Fused Laminates, or TFL.
TFL are resin-saturated papers that are thermoset under high heat and pres-sure to a substrate (particle board, MDF, plywood and others) to form a durable, beautiful and consistent appearance for a wide variety of applications.
Not just another pretty facing, TFL offers a variety of distinct characteristics and options that create opportunity up and down the value chain, from manufacturer to architect and more.

Designing Opportunity
Opportunity takes vision — the ability to see potential. It takes creativity and innovation — the ability to make things happen. And it takes collaboration — a willingness to work together to create new products and better ways of doing things. For decades, Arclin has been working with our customers and partners to develop surface overlays, resins and other chemical solutions that meet market needs — and continually raise the bar still higher.
We lead the North American market in Thermally Fused Laminates (TFL), in design, manufacturing and technical expertise and support. Today, we’re raising that bar. It’s how we create opportunity. It’s by design.
VisionArclin provides a robust portfolio of TFL designs. Highly durable, design-forward, cost effective and distinct. And ready on-demand or via custom order for a wide variety of applications and industries, from flooring to cabinetry, retail to healthcare.
Creativity & InnovationWe’re carefully culling our portfolio to ensure our designs meet current customer needs and create new demand. Our technical teams are also working with our customers to con-tinually improve manufacturing processes to boost performance and efficiencies, and to open doors to new application possibilities.
CollaborationGood chemistry is more than science; it’s how people engage to ensure optimal outcomes. It’s long been the hallmark of Arclin’s approach to our customers — a scientific, engineer-ing, sales and service partnership that creates opportunity throughout the value chain.

TFL from Arclin is created by saturating decorative papers with our proprietary, high performance resin. That resin activates under heat and pressure to fuse directly to a substrate to create a uniform, durable and secure bond.

For the right applications, TFL is a highly cost-effective alternative to other decorative surface options, such as HPL and veneer. Arclin’s sophisticat-ed resin systems eliminate the need for multiple layers of base paper and our manufacturing expertise enables us to maxi-mize yield and reduce waste. Even our geography plays a part; with facilities across North America, we’re able to ship these lighter-weight over-lays economically throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Innovation isn’t just about 2D design. Customized steel plates enable panel manufacturers to create 3D surface textures that evoke wood and stone grains, create abstract designs, even mimic diamond-plate. Talk about possibility.
For decades, Arclin has approached product manufacturing and development as dynamic — that is, they’re constantly evolving to create additional market opportunities and enhance efficiencies. It’s what’s made us the North American leader in resin- and surfaces-based products in a growing list of industries.
