Sponeta S1-42e - The surface Board in Detail
The surface board - made of melamine resin - has a thickness of 4 mm. Melamine resins (melamine-formaldehyde condensation resins) belong to the category of synthetic resins. They are made of melamine and formaldehyde, which is bonded together belonging to the duroplastic plastics. Their properties are just ideal for outdoor tables: They are mechanically strong, thermically stable (e.g. well over 100 °C), and weather as well as light resistant. Mechanical impacts are critical, there is only a limited resistance (make sure to protect the table from hail). The same is true for acids or alkalis.
The surface color is green and the melamine resin board is firmly glued onto the substructure. The frame profile is stable enough (L-36 mm) considering that this is the "easiest" entry series. It is powder-coated and black (RAL 9005).
Sponeta S 1-42 e - The base frame
The base frame (Compact Type 4b) of the Sponeta S 1-42e is also powder-coated and black, however, the RAL code is different (RAL 9011). Designed as a round tube (diameter 25 mm), the stability is ok. The transport of this table tennis table is performed via 4 double wheels (diameter 125 mm). All wheels are swiveling. The base frame also includes holders for your rackets and balls, which is very convenient. Thanks to the playback position, you can also do single training sessions!
In order to lock and secure this ping pong table, Sponeta provides a twist grip system with a snap-in / latching mechanism for the S1-42e.
