Comparison of Bobrick SierraSeries and Color-Thru Phenolic

This advisory bulletin provides a comparison between Bobrick SierraSeries Solid Color Reinforced Composite (SCRC) and Color-Thru Phenolic materials. It details the core construction of both materials, highlighting the homogeneous core of SCRC, which consists of organic cellulose fibers, dyes, and resins, versus the layered core of Color-Thru Phenolic, made of multiple layers of resin-impregnated kraft paper. The bulletin outlines the benefits of SCRC, including its solid color throughout the panel and its resistance to scratches and impact. The document also discusses the surface characteristics of both materials, noting the ultra-hard GraffitiOff surface of SCRC and the decorative laminates used in Color-Thru Phenolic. Additionally, it mentions the contribution of both materials to LEED credit categories, indicating their relevance in sustainable building practices. The bulletin serves as a technical guide for understanding the differences and applications of these materials in construction.
