A Super Matte White Panel Built for Both-Sides-Showing Work
The SALT PRO PET Bianco Opaco decorative panel delivers a clean, non-reflective white show face over a matching backer, making it the right choice wherever the visible face has to arrive finished. Surfaced with a PET polyester foil in a super matte finish, this 18 mm PET foil panel brings a consistent, light-absorbing white to cabinet boxes, open shelving, closet interiors, and any build where a visible back is part of the design.
Key Features
- Anti-fingerprint surface — the excimer-treated face resists the marks a matte surface usually shows.
- High UV and color-fading protection — from the lacquering system, along with superior scratch resistance.
- PET foil super matte surface: A polyester film face delivers the depth and uniformity of white that paper-faced laminates cannot match at this gloss level.
- One-sided PET foil face with a matching backer: the show face carries the PET foil and the reverse carries a matching backer, so the panel arrives ready to install without a secondary operation.
- 18 mm panel thickness: A robust 18 mm build suits standard cabinet construction and pairs with 23 mm edgebanding for a clean square edge.
- Anti-bacterial surface: The PRO PET face is documented by the panel maker for anti-bacterial performance, appropriate for healthcare, food service, and hygiene-sensitive casework.
- 48 inch x 110 inch sheet: A panel sized to yield efficient parts from full-height closet and cabinet runs.
- Matching ABS edgebanding available: Color-matched edgebanding in this decor is available to carry Bianco Opaco from the face to every cut edge.
Where This Panel Works
Bianco Opaco reads as a warm, settled white rather than a cool blue-white, which makes it versatile across a wide range of cabinet and millwork environments. The super matte PET surface absorbs light rather than bouncing it back, so a run of tall doors or a large open shelving unit does not develop the reflective ripple that a gloss or satin face would show. This makes it especially well-suited to modern handleless kitchen cabinetry, open wardrobe systems, and commercial millwork where a flat, clean white needs to hold its look across a large run of panels. The anti-bacterial surface documentation also makes it a defensible specification for medical cabinetry, lab casework, and food-service millwork where the specification calls for a hygienic panel face.
Construction and Surface
PRO PET panels are surfaced with a PET polyester foil, a different construction from a thermally fused laminate. The foil builds a surface depth and matte quality that paper-based surfaces cannot reach, and it brings a consistent color uniformity across the sheet that matters on large, uninterrupted faces. The 18 mm core is a CARB2 particleboard substrate, and the PET foil show face ships finished over a matching backer, so no additional facing is needed. Because PRO PET matching edgebanding comes in 23 mm width, the banding overhangs an 18 mm edge enough to trim flush cleanly on both faces.
Who Reaches for This Panel
Cabinet shops running modern white kitchens or wardrobes reach for Bianco Opaco when the client wants a matte white that stays matte under kitchen lighting and does not show every fingerprint as a glossy white would. Commercial millwork fabricators specify it for healthcare and hospitality interiors where both the appearance and the anti-bacterial surface documentation add value. Designers working on open storage or room-divider casework where the back panel is as visible as the front rely on the matching backer to eliminate a finishing step. The 48 x 110 inch sheet fits the typical workflow for both runs and one-off custom work.
Is matching edgebanding available for Bianco Opaco?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available for PRO PET colors including Bianco Opaco. PRO PET edgebanding comes in 23 mm width, which is the correct width for an 18 mm panel edge.
How is this panel built?
PRO PET is a one-sided board and is not graded. The show face carries the PET foil and the reverse carries a matching backer, so the cut list carries a face designation, and the panel suits open shelving, cabinet boxes and any component whose visible face has to arrive finished.
Is there matching high pressure laminate for PRO PET colors?
No. Matching HPL is not part of the PRO PET program. If a project requires HPL on countertops or high-wear surfaces in the same color family, that needs to be sourced separately.
What is the difference between a PET foil panel and a TFL panel?
TFL fuses a decorative paper directly to the substrate under heat and pressure. PET foil laminates a polyester film to the board face instead. The film produces deeper, more uniform color and a true super matte quality that paper-faced panels do not achieve. The two are not interchangeable at the surface level, though both sit on a particleboard core.
Is this panel suitable for kitchen or bath cabinetry?
Bianco Opaco on a particleboard core is well suited for kitchen cabinetry. For bath installations where the cabinet may see repeated moisture exposure, consider the water-resistance specification of the core before specifying. The panel is an interior product and is not rated for exterior applications.
A White That Works as Hard as the Build Around It
Bianco Opaco brings a finished, anti-bacterial, super matte white show face to every sheet over a matching backer, so the panel is ready for the most demanding part of the job the moment it leaves the saw.
