ANSI does not regulate TFL standards! As such:
The TFL high standard is to insist on AmLam M2 How low can you go
Every Panel Factory Ink Jet Labeled:
AMPINE NAF is No Added Formaldehyde
And AmLam M2 specs are as follows:
Density | Internal Bond |
Face Bond |
Face Screw Hold |
Edge Screw Hold |
MOR* | MOE* | |
Am Lam M2 | 45.5 lbs | 100 lbs | 330 lbs | 265 lbs | 185 lbs | 2000 lbs | 375,000 lbs |
ANSI Ind. | 38.7 – 41.8 lbs | 58 lbs | NA | 202 lbs | 180 lbs | 1885 lbs | 290,100 lbs |
(Commercial is lower yet) |
*MOR = Modulus of Rupture. The amount of non impact force per square inch required on top of a specified distance to break (3/4 basis) *MOE= Modulus of Elasticity. The amount of non impact force per square inch required on a specified distance to bend a specified amount (3/4) |
