HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST DURABLE DECORATIVE SURFACE MATERIALS
AND PERFORMS VERY WELL IN BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL APPLICATIONS. IT IS OFTEN UTILIZED FOR
COUNTERTOPS , RETAIL DISPLAYS , CABINETS , AND FURNITURE . SPECIAL CUSTOM LAMINATES
CAN BE PRODUCED TO MATCH THE THEME OR DCOR OF ANY ENVIRONMENT.

There are many types or grades of high pressure laminates
engineered for specic performance requirements:
GENERAL PURPOSE: Most widely used HPL and suitable for hor-
izontal and vertical surface applications. Typical thickness range
from 0.028" to 0.048" (0.71 to 1.22 mm).
POSTFORMING: Can be formed around curved edges by appli-
cation of heat and restraint. Maximum thickness is approximately
0.038" (0.97 mm) and can normally be formed to radii as small as
3/8" (9.5 mm).
BACKER: HPL produced without a decorative face. Available as
standard (most common; slightly thinner than decorative HPL) or
regrind (reclaimed HPL with decorative sheet sanded off).
SPECIAL PRODUCTS: Special purpose high pressure laminates
include cabinet liners, high-wear, re-rated, electrostatic dissipa-
tive and chemical resistant laminates.
In addition to aesthetic attributes, the lamination of particle-
board or MDF with HPL can improve the physical performance of
the substrate. For example, a shelf of 3/4" industrial (M-2) particle-
board that is 24" long will carry 45 lbs per square foot (psf) of uni-
form loading with 0.133" deection. The same shelf can carry 85 lbs
psf before reaching the same deection if overlaid with HPL. n
