Spec Treefrog because you want the
beauty of real wood and
the ease of a laminate.
Every 4’ x 8’ sheet of Treefrog Veneer showcases the rich,
soothing and timeless beauty of real wood. It’s not printed,
and it’s not plastic. It’s real. Place a sample of Treefrog next
to a laminate that’s not real wood and see the dramatic
difference.
Second, because it’s HPL backed, Treefrog is easy to apply.
Fabricators familiar with laminate application already know
how to apply Treefrog. The HPL back helps ensure proper
adhesion and a successful installation.

Environmentally, Treefrog’s innovative process uses wood,
a renewable resource. And not just any wood. Treefrog’s
process uses more commonly occurring and faster growing
tree species, like poplar, to create the look, feel and warmth
of exotic, and sometimes threatened, tree species, without
having to harvest these threatened or old growth species.

(PART 1) Description, Application, Storage & Handling, Mask
p.88
Product Description
Treefrog Veneer features composite wood technology, an innovative process that creates the look,
feel andwarmth of almost any wood species. This technology allows for the elimination of many of
the naturally occurring imperfections in wood grain, ensuring a consistent and reliable selection
of beautiful wood patterns. The material is only available in 96” x 48” or (2440 x 1220 mm)
sheet size.
Application
Treefrog Veneer is recommended for interior use on vertical and light duty horizontal surfaces.
Slightcolor and pattern variation may occur because Tree Frog veneer is manufactured with real
wood. Exposure to direct or strong UV light (natural or artificial) can result in a change in the
color over time.Either occurrence does not indicate a product defect or failure.
Storage & Handling
Treefrog Veneer should be stored horizontally, face to face, at a moderate ambient temperature,
normally 72 Fand relative humidity of approximately 60%. Treefrog Veneer must be completely
protected from sunlight or incandescent light with a dark, non- transparent product. The entire
sheet of the veneer must be covered. This will protect the sheet from any color change do to the
exposure of UV light, natural or artificial. Care should be taken to avoid bending or cracking if the
sheets are to be rolled. Rolling against the grain may cause the veneer to crack, and should be done
with care. It is not recommended that the veneer be stored in rolls
Protective Mask
Treefrog Veneer is supplied with a clear protective mask. We recommend that you leave the mask
on the surface while working the veneer. Color uniformity and quality checks should be carried
out on the sheets before working with the veneer. The protective film is clear enough that you may
inspect the material without removing the mask. When in doubt peel the mask in the area, or up to
the area that is suspect.
(PART 2) Adhesives, Lamination, Cutting and Machining
p.89
Adhesives
Treefrog Veneer may be laminated with many of the conventional adhesives normally used with
plastic laminates. A good vinyl adhesive is recommended for a stronger bond. A cold or hot press is
recommended when working with the vinyl type adhesives. This type of adhesive may reduce dimensional movements that can be caused by changes in temperature or humidity. Always check with
your adhesive supplier to make sure that the adhesive you select is suitable for your application.
The adhesive manufacturer’sinstructions must be followed as to the use of the adhesive and the
preparation of the substrate. It is recommended that you check your adhesive system with a
Treefrog sample. Solvent based contact cement sand water based contact cements may also be
used for bonding Treefrog Veneer.
Lamination
Proper substrates must be used and careful bonding procedures must be observed. Treefrog
Veneer maybe laminated to most substrates if the proper adhesive is used. Typical substrates
would be plywood, MDFboard, particleboard, sheetrock, and rigid plastics. The more resistant
the substrates are to dimensional change (shrinking and expansion from changes in humidity and
temperature) the better the result. The substrate must be smooth and free of grease, wax, dust, oil,
silicones, and other foreign matter. All raised areas must be sanded or filled so that the surface
is smooth. The substrate must be uniform in thickness. Finish all edges to help prevent moisture
absorption.
Use adequate drying time to ensure that the solvents (or water if you use a water based adhesive)
can evaporate. Also use adequate ventilation as a health aid. Allow Treefrog Veneer sheets and the
substrate to acclimate to the same ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) for a minimum
of 48 hours prior to lamination. The laminated parts should be stored forat least 48 hours before
exposure to extreme temperature and humidity changes. We would also recommend the use of a
balancing sheet. This will certainly help in the prevention of the warping or cupping of the sheet.
Cuttting and Machining
Panel saws, table saws may be used to cut Treefrog Veneer before or after lamination. Routers
for trimming edges after bonding must have a smooth, clean base plate, so that the surface of the
veneer will not be scratched. Use carbide-tipped bits with ball bearing guide rolls. Keep the bits
sharp. Drilling intoTree Frog veneer may be done with standard wood bits or with router bits. Use
a flat, smooth or fine filefor a final edge finishing. You may consider applying a light or dark stain
to the edge to hide the phenolic line.
(PART 2) Post Forming, Cleaning & Maintenace
p.90
Post Forming
Treefrog Veneer can be postformed utilizing similar equipment and techniques that are used with
theplastic laminate. The post forming temperature is 145 degrees centigrade and 293 degrees
Fahrenheit. It is also important to know that when post forming with the gloss finish it is acceptable to leave the protective mask on the product. When postforming with the wax finish it is important to remove the protectivemask prior to form. If the protective mask is not removed prior to
the postforming the mask will burn and adhere to the veneer.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Treefrog Veneer may be cleaned with a soft cloth using mild soap and water or non-abrasive glass
andwood cleaning products. Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads, or harsh solvents. Do not allow
any solventto come in contact with the surface. Accidental spills, splatters or over sprays should be
wiped off immediately with a soft cloth and mild soap. If done immediately the solvents should not
have an effect on the veneer. Alcohol, ammonia and other light solvents may be used for
tougher stains.
(PART 3) Limited Warranty and Tech Services
p.91

(PART 4) Resistance to Staining.
p.92
Principle
Test specimens are left in contact with a series of staining agents, which are likely to been countered
in everyday use. The time and conditions of contact are specified for each staining agent. At the
end of the specified period, the specimens are washed and examined for residual surface marks.
Procedure
Apply a small quantity of 2 to 3 drops of the staining agents to the specimen. The staining agents
and the specimen shall be at ambient temperature. Place a glass cover over the staining agent for
a specified period of time usually 16 to 24 hours. Keep specimen flat during testing. After the
specified contact time has elapsed, remove the staining agents with a suitable solvent, such as alcohol, and then wash the specimen with water.
Expression of Result
The effect on the surface of the specimen shall be expressed in accordance with thefollowing rating
scale for each of the staining agents.
Rating 5: No visible change.
Rating 4: Slight change of gloss and or color only visible at certain viewing angles.
Rating 3: Marked change of gloss and or color.
Rating 2: Marked change of gloss, color and some blistering
Rating 1: Surface distortion and or heavy blistering or peeling.
