What is HPL?
High pressure laminate is manufactured in a fusing process that results in an extra-hard decorative laminate. The multiple layers of kraft papers used for the decorative surface, inner layers and backing layer are all impregnated with phenolic resin and fused together in a multiple step press operation offering a wide range of decorative effects.
These laminates are then bonded to a core board in a separate process with glue under pressure. Heat is often is used to accelerate the curing process.
