Maximum Defense

Wall protection for peace of mind

Artizan Max is engineered to handle real-world abuse due to its Fiberglass Core and Flooring-Grade Protective Shield.

Fiberglass Core

The greatest source of wall damage is blunt objects that cause impact. Artizan Max is manufactured with a fiberglass core, providing unmatched protection against the toughest hazards.

Flooring-Grade Protective Shield

Scratches and abrasions are eyesores requiring patchwork and repair. Marlite is the first to incorporate Flooring-grade Protection to walls using dual sealers and topcoat roll-applied to the surface of every Artizan Max Panel.

Hard Body Impact Test
Achieves Level 3
technical drawing of hard body impact testing machine

A weighted pendulum-like steel impactor is raised 12” before the swinging head strikes against the test panel. Artizan Max FRP achieves Level 3 – the highest level of impact resistance representing a minimum
150-ft lbs of force.

Surface Indentation
Achieves Level 3

An 8-lb weight is raised to a height of 9” and dropped onto a hemispherical die imparting 72-in lbs of force. Artizan Max FRP achieves Level 3 – the highest level of resistance representing less than .050” indentation.

Surface Abrasion
Achieves Level 3
technical drawing of surface abrasion machine

25-lbs of weight is loaded on top of a wire brush and abraded in a forward and backward motion for 50 cycles. Artizan Max FRP achieves Level 3 – the highest level of resistance representing less than .010” abrasion. 

Taber Abrasion
1,372 Cycles
technical drawing of a Taber abrader machine

A 500-gram load is placed on top of an abrader wheel and spins, taking haze and weight loss measurements. Artizan Max FRP records 1,372 cycles of abrasion. This test was developed to compare High Pressure Laminate (HPL) and other materials used on surfaces such as countertops and tables.
