Material analysis

MasterFormat Number: 06 42 19

Traditional uses

• Innovative surface designs used as walls, flooring, cabinetry, furniture and doors.
• Commonly used in Commercial spaces (backdrops), hospitality design, retail spaces, museums, etc.

Emerging uses / trends

• Expanded from just wall panelling to include the following applications:
• furniture (tables, worstations, cabinets, chairs, beds); artwork; detailing (light fixtures, reveals, back splashes)
• kitchen and retail fixtures, applications in residentail, retail, hospitality, commercial
• Projects to date include stores and boutiques; hotels and casinos; bars and nightclubs; spas and fitness centers; offices; residences; restaurants and bars.

Finish and aesthetic qualities

• Kinon is made of a proprietary hard cast resin, with various applied decorative effects.
• This material is layered onto a flat MDF surface, curing and resulting in a structural bond with the MDF
• Finishes are either a smooth glossy surface, matte or metallic - there are at least 85 types of finihses.
• Product can be applied in the following formats:
  • MDF
  • PVC
  • Acrylic
  • 1" Acrlic
  • Planed Down Board (for curved surfaces)
  • Edge Material

Surface forms / shapes

• Kinon material is cast in several different layering processes onto a flat MDF surface, resulting in a stable composite material.
• MDF's of 1/2" - 3/4" result in rectangular panels; Curved surfaces are offered as'Planed Down Boards' that are 1/8" - 1/4" thick.

Cost analysis

• The Price will vary depending on the following:
  • Pattern
  • Product (MDF, PVC, Acrylic, 1" Acrylic, Planed Down Board, Edge)
  • Finish or Size type e.g. metal or large sizes
• Price / SqFt averages from $30/ sq ft - 130/ sq ft

Material properties

Primary structural use

• Walls, flooring, cabinetry, furniture, doors

Material performance

• Kinon is basically classified as a hard plastic
• It is easy to fabricate with
• It cuts cleanly with regular woodwrking tools
• It is a tough chemically resistant material
• It is flame retardent
• it is abrasion resistant
• it is stain resitant ^[1]

Dimensional and opening restriction

• Dimensions are classed according to the application type: ^[2]
• MDF sizes: 4'x10'; 4'x12'; 4'x6'; 5'x12'
  • Thickness 3/4"
• Edges: 1'x12'
  • Thickness 1/16" (+/- 1/32")
• Acrylic: 4'x10'; 4'x8'
  • Thickness 1/4"
• Aluminum: 4'x8'; 4'x10'
  • Thickness 1/8"
• PDB: 4'x10'; 4'x12'; 5'x12'
  • Thickness 1/4" or 1/8"
• PVC Foam Board: 5'x10'; 5'x12'
  • Thickness 1/8" or 3/4"

• • • Kinon Material Layer Thickness is approx 1/16"
    • Maximum product size is 5'x12'

Acoustic property

• Unknown

Manufacturing process and assembly

• Kinon material is cast in several different layering processes onto a flat MDF surface, resulting in a stable composite material.
• it is easily fabricated using regular woodworking tools
• More on fabrication can be found at the Kinon website

Environment and Life Safety

Environmental impact

Kinon is made of a very durable plastic.

Flammability rating

• The Flame test per ASTM E84-07 was applied
• Results of a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values during a 10 minute fire experience resulted in numbers of 65 and 275 respectively
• These numbers met the parameters of a Class B Interior wall and Ceiling Finish Category
• Results were satisfactory

Coefficient of friction

• A sample of the Kinon product was test or static coefficient of friction in accordance with procedures in ASTM D 2047-04
• Results under wet conditions (0.72) under dry (0.62) and were satisfactory
