Question 1

What is Arctic by Dosooz?

Accepted Answer

Arctic is a thermally fused laminate (TFL) panel from Dosooz's Euforia collection. The melamine-resin decorative surface is thermally bonded to a particleboard core under heat and pressure, creating a stable, durable surface for cabinetry and millwork applications.

Question 2

What sizes does Arctic come in?

Accepted Answer

Arctic is available in two panel formats: (1) Oversized at 1245 × 2800mm (49" × 110¼") for large-format applications with fewer seams. (2) Standard 4' × 8' at 1220 × 2440mm (48" × 96") — the most common North American cabinet panel size. Both formats use an 18mm (¾") particleboard core with synchronized melamine surface.

Question 3

Is Arctic scratch resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Arctic features a melamine-resin surface that is scratch and abrasion resistant, rated at 350+ cycles per EN 438 testing standards. The cured melamine surface also resists staining from common substances including coffee, wine, and household chemicals for 24+ hours. It is designed for vertical cabinet and furniture surfaces in residential and commercial settings.

Question 4

What panel sizes does Dosooz offer?

Accepted Answer

Dosooz panels are available in two sizes: (1) Oversized format at 1245 × 2800mm (49" × 110¼") — wider than standard panels for large applications with fewer seams, popular for wall paneling and commercial casework. (2) Standard 4' × 8' format at 1220 × 2440mm (48" × 96") — the industry standard for North American cabinet shops. All panels are 18mm (¾") thick on particleboard core with synchronized melamine surface.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Dosooz panels?

Accepted Answer

Dosooz panels pair with color-matched PVC edgebanding in three options: 1mm × 22mm (⅞") standard for cabinets and furniture — the industry standard thickness. 0.4mm × 22mm pre-glued for iron-on application without a dedicated edgebander. 2mm × 22mm heavy-duty for commercial and high-traffic applications where edge profiling or chamfering is needed. Rolls are 100m (328 ft). Available through edgebanding distributors who can color-match to Dosooz décors.

Question 6

Are Dosooz panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dosooz TFL panels are widely used for kitchen cabinetry. The melamine surface is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant against common kitchen substances (coffee, wine, sauces, household cleaners), and water-resistant on the surface. The synchronized embossed texture provides a realistic woodgrain or stone appearance. Important: panel edges must be sealed with edgebanding to prevent moisture from reaching the particleboard core, and the surface is not rated for direct contact with hot pots or pans.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Dosooz panels?

Accepted Answer

For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild household detergent. For tougher stains (grease, sauces, markers), use a non-abrasive cleaner or 50% isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and scouring pads — these can damage the melamine surface. Do not place hot items directly on the surface. For deep-textured embossed surfaces, use a soft-bristle brush to clean residue from texture grooves.

Question 8

What certifications do Dosooz panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Dosooz panels are CARB Phase 2 compliant (California Air Resources Board) and meet TSCA Title VI federal standards for formaldehyde emissions — required for all composite wood products sold in the United States. The particleboard core uses wood fiber processed to meet these emission standards. Dosooz emphasizes eco-conscious manufacturing with a focus on sustainability, energy conservation, waste reduction, and material recycling in their production processes.
