Question 1

What is Brushed Concrete 2 by Syncron?

Accepted Answer

Brushed Concrete 2 is a synchronized embossed-in-register (EIR) TFL panel from the Syncron collection by Lioher. The surface texture precisely follows the printed woodgrain pattern — every grain line, knot, and pore is tactilely aligned with the visual décor. The melamine-resin surface is thermally fused to a particleboard core under heat and pressure, creating a panel that looks and feels like real wood.

Question 2

What sizes does Brushed Concrete 2 come in?

Accepted Answer

Brushed Concrete 2 is available in standard 4' × 8' format (1220 × 2440mm / 48" × 96") at 18mm (¾") thickness on particleboard core. This is the industry-standard size for North American cabinet manufacturing.

Question 3

Is Brushed Concrete 2 scratch resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brushed Concrete 2 features a melamine-resin surface that is scratch and abrasion resistant, rated at 350+ cycles. The surface also resists staining from common substances including coffee, wine, and household chemicals. Designed for daily use in residential and commercial cabinetry.

Question 4

What makes Syncron different from regular TFL?

Accepted Answer

Syncron uses Embossed-in-Register (EIR) technology — the surface texture is precisely synchronized with the printed décor pattern. In standard TFL, the texture and print are independent. With Syncron, the embossed grain follows the printed grain exactly, so when you run your hand across the surface, you feel the same grain pattern you see. This creates a dramatically more realistic wood appearance and tactile experience.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Syncron panels?

Accepted Answer

Syncron panels pair with color-matched PVC edgebanding in three sizes: 1mm × 22mm standard for production edgebanders. 0.4mm × 22mm pre-glued for iron-on application. 2mm × 22mm heavy-duty for commercial and high-traffic applications where edge profiling is needed. Rolls are 100m (328 ft). Available through Lioher distribution.

Question 6

Are Syncron panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Syncron EIR panels are an excellent choice for kitchen cabinetry — the synchronized texture creates a realistic wood appearance at a fraction of the cost of real wood veneer. The melamine surface is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and durable for daily use. Edges must be sealed with edgebanding to prevent moisture from reaching the particleboard core.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Syncron panels?

Accepted Answer

Daily cleaning: wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or diluted isopropyl alcohol. The synchronized texture grooves can trap residue — use a soft-bristle brush for deep cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and acetone. Do not place hot pots or pans directly on the surface. Rinse and dry after cleaning.

Question 8

What certifications do Syncron panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Syncron panels are CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI compliant for formaldehyde emissions — required for all composite wood products sold in the United States. The panels are distributed by Lioher and meet all North American regulatory requirements for interior use in residential and commercial applications.
