Material identification

[TomTrees]

Hello folks, came across a skip at the hospital with these two bits in it.
It'd be interesting to know as to what the stuff is, as it's very dense and stable.
Have a sheet at the folks which hasn't fared well, though it's been used as a outdoor fire screen, and eventually gotten to a state
which has an MDF look about it..

Typing those last few words, just occurred to me whether there is such a thing as HDF?
Not wanting to ruin the surprise just yet by googling it.
Anyone familiar with the stuff?





Thanks
Tom

At first I thought it was those solid sheets of formica you can get, is it really heavy?

Valchromat? And yes HDF exists

It's resin panelling I think. The fibre-reinforced stuff toilet cubicles and doors are made from. That last photo shows the 'rippling' efeect you see at some angles in this material.

HDF also known as hardboard!

TRESPA - it is used for lab worktops but also cladding and a range of other applications. It is inert to chemicals and easy to clean, non-porous and comes in a range of colours. https://www.trespa.com/en_GB/

Thanks all, it appears like @StevieB has it from these pics.

should the stuff be also referred to as resin paneling, I haven't checked yet.
Don't think it's Formica nor Valchromat from the looks of things.

Thanks for the ID
Pity about the look of them, would'a been nice to find other colours, as it's great stuff.
Not sure if I could sand them, perhaps worth a test spot as I wouldn't mind the black.
Would be excellent stuff for a router fence, should that be successful.
p.s I see that they provide free sample material, though not sure if you'd get something like these bits?

Cheers folks
Tom
