5)Heat resistance | Can withstand high temperatures, so it is widely used in the kitchen | Containing acrylic glue and polymer, so when exposed to high temperatures, it is easy to deform and damage the surface |
6) Surface | Waterproof treatment, covering, polishing the surface to keep its durability for a long time | The gloss is not long, easy to discolor. Resistant to strong impacts and difficult to scratch, but when scratched, it is easy to see and expensive to replace |
