        Furniture surfaces must not only withstand daily friction but also face “extreme accidents” such as cigarette burns, direct contact with hot pot bottoms, and spills of soy sauce or coffee. These scenarios demand high resistance to heat and staining from the board.

Resistance to Cigarette Burns – Withstands Accidental Cigarette Contact

1.What is resistance to cigarette burns?  

        This test places a lit standard cigarette on the board surface. After it burns out, the surface is examined for discoloration, blistering, cracking, or permanent burn marks. Ratings range from Grade 1 to Grade 5, with higher numbers indicating better resistance to burning.

        For places with frequent smoking – such as hotel rooms, restaurants, and family living rooms – this index directly determines whether the furniture surface can “survive” an accident.



2.YAKCO’s performance:  

National standard requirement: ≥ Grade 4.  

YAKCO tested value: Grade 4 – Pass.  

        This means that when a cigarette accidentally touches a YAKCO decorative board, the surface may only show slight wipeable marks or no permanent damage. No obvious burn marks or destructive charring occur, providing a higher margin of safety for public spaces and home environments.


Resistance to Dry Heat – Withstands the “High-Temperature Test” of Hot Pots and Kettles
1.What is resistance to dry heat?

        The test method involves placing a metal heating block at a specified temperature (typically 70°C to 100°C) on the board surface for a certain period, then observing surface changes.

        The higher the grade, the better the board’s ability to withstand short-term contact with hot objects. In daily life, placing a freshly boiled kettle, a hot soup pot, or a coffee cup directly on the tabletop is a dry heat challenge.



2.
YAKCO’s performance:

National standard requirement: ≥ Grade 4.  

YAKCO tested value: Grade 5 (highest grade) – better than the standard requirement.  

        Grade 5 means that after testing, the YAKCO decorative board surface shows almost no visible change (e.g., slight gloss change but no damage). Users need not worry about white heat marks or surface dullness left by hot tableware.

        This is especially suitable for restaurants, open kitchen islands, and other scenes where hot vessels are frequently placed.


Resistance to Surface Staining – No Fear of Spills, Easy to Clean
1.What is resistance to surface staining?

        The test involves dropping various common contaminants (e.g., coffee, soy sauce, red ink, alcohol) onto the board surface, allowing them to sit for a period, then wiping and observing whether staining remains.

        The higher the grade, the better the stain resistance. For families with children or pets, or commercial spaces with frequent beverage spills, stain resistance determines whether the furniture can stay clean and like‑new over time.



2.
YAKCO’s performance:

National standard requirement: ≥ Grade 4.  

YAKCO tested value: Grade 4 – Pass.  

        Grade 4 indicates that most contaminants leave no trace or only extremely slight marks after wiping. This means the YAKCO decorative board surface is dense with low porosity.

        Daily spills of coffee, tea stains, sauces, etc., do not easily penetrate; a damp cloth wipes them clean, significantly reducing cleaning and maintenance costs.

 

Durable Leather Texture – Combining Premium Touch with Worry‑Free Maintenance

 

        Based on the three outstanding surface durability properties above, YAKCO’s Leather Design Melamine Board, matte sheen, and the excellent characteristics of resistance to cigarette burns, dry heat, and surface staining.



Application:

1.High‑end club or hotel guest room tabletops

        Cigarettes left on the surface by guests are no problem; the leather board achieves Grade 4 resistance to cigarette burns, effectively reducing burn marks. Red wine and coffee spills wipe off easily, saving maintenance staff time and effort.

 

2.Home bedroom nightstands and wardrobe doors

        Hot drink cups can be placed directly without fear of white rings; accidental spills of cosmetics or perfume do not cause staining or corrosion. The leather texture enhances a warm, cozy atmosphere.

        YAKCO specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of premium Melamine Faced Board. With durable surface performance – resistance to burning, heat, and staining – YAKCO provides an excellent new choice for home applications.
