High pressure laminates commonly known as simply laminates, are composite materials made up of cellulose fibre (paper) and resin (plastic). It is a carpentry material, often applied to the topmost layer of wood panels.

SNS laminates are beautiful, strong, and resilient to wear, creating durable surfaces for your dream home and office. It is also easy to maintain and resistant to moisture, allowing the creation of multipurpose spaces. SNS laminates are also certified to be toxin free, formaldehyde-free and lowest in VOC emissions and antimicrobial making it extra safe for your young children and fur kids. At SNS, we also believe in championing the needs of the next generations and our laminates are thus certified beyond E0 grade, at ENF. We actively work towards carbon neutrality.

At the forefront of innovation, our Green+ Panels tackle a critical gap in the conversation about sustainable renovation: toxic adhesives. While formaldehyde-free laminates are a step forward, many have rightly pointed out that traditional adhesives still emit dangerously high levels of formaldehyde, posing long-term health risks.

Our Green+ Panels then addresses these problems. We combine formaldehyde-free laminates (ENF standard) with non-toxic adhesives and boards ( E0-certified). This comprehensive solution ensures that our panel exceeds existing industrial solutions in environmental standards.

With Green+ Panels, we empower carpentry businesses and designers to offer homeowners a truly sustainable, and low formaldehyde option, without compromising on quality or design flexibility.

The European E1 standard permits formaldehyde emissions up to 0.124 mg/m³, while the stricter E0 standard limits emissions to ≤0.050 mg/m³. The ENF (Ultra Low Emission Formaldehyde) standard in China is even more stringent, with a maximum emission level of ≤0.025 mg/m³, representing one of the lowest permissible limits globally. In contrast, Europe does not have an equivalent to the ENF standard, making China’s regulations particularly rigorous in protecting indoor air quality​.

Formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are naturally occurring agents that are found in woods. There is no such thing as a formaldehyde free wood. However, large and unhealthy amounts of formaldehyde and VOC are commonly found in renovation materials. These agents will then be slowly emitted into the environment, polluting the air that we breathe in. When inhaled and absorbed into young and rapidly developing bodies, it can cause various illnesses, damages to organs or even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Formaldehyde and VOC are known to cause adverse health effects even in adults, such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination and nausea. As a member of the Alliances for Action (AfA) for low formaldehyde jointly formed by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC), and Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) in November 2021, SNS aims to spread awareness and educate industrial partners and consumers on this topic, working towards a safer future for consumer health.

Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly found in building materials, especially in plywood, laminates, and adhesives. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde emissions can cause various health issues, including respiratory problems, eye irritation and have even been linked to cancer.

That's why more homeowners and builders are choosing formaldehyde-free construction to create healthier living environments. We started off with ensuring our laminates are beyond E0 standards, at ENF, which is formaldehyde-emission-free. We have since launched Green+ Panels with the goal to reduce formaldehyde. A completed carpentry panel, which combines E0 certified wood and adhesives with our full range of laminates.

Choosing the lowest formaldehyde materials, like our E0 Green+ panels, enhances the quality of your indoor air and reduces exposure to toxic chemicals. This is especially important in homes, schools, hospitals, and other spaces where people spend extended periods. By making the switch to formaldehyde-free renovation, you're not only investing in safety but also future-proofing your project with environmentally responsible materials.Join us in our mission to make air safer with materials better for you and the environment.

While we leverage technology and engineering to bring your Green+ Panels and SNS laminates, we have always pride ourselves with being an accessible product to the masses. We stand by our goals to ensure being always safe and always beautiful, but not at a cost.

SNS laminates are designed to be easy to maintain. Use diluted dish soap and warm water to remove most stains. For more stubborn stains like ink or permanent markers, you may use weak solvents commonly found in households, such as nail polish remover, followed by diluted dish soap and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong cleaning agents as that might destroy the protective top layer of the laminates.

You may lightly rub the scratches with a household melamine sponge (white sponges) to erase fine scratches. Avoid rubbing the laminate too aggressively to avoid destroying the protective top layer.

SNS laminates will continue to be easy to maintain for the lifetime of the laminate as long as the topmost layer is not damaged. The antimicrobial property will also last the lifetime of the laminate under normal use if the topmost decorative layer is well intact.

As most purchase of SNS laminates would be done through your hired carpenters or contractors, it would be advisable to first touch base with them.
