Today I will share the knowledge about the HPL and compact laminate, teach you how to distinguish these two products.

In fact, these two products are the same thing, the only difference is their thickness.

The thickness of HPL is usually only 0.5-1mm. When its thickness exceeds 1mm, it becomes compact.

HPL is also known as fireproof board. Its scientific name is thermosetting resin impregnated paper high pressure laminate. It is a fireproof material for surface decoration. HPL is a new type of decorative material formed by kraft paper melamine facing and phenolic resin through dipping, drying and composite hot pressing. It is mostly used for laminate applications of various boards such as calcium silicate board, glass magnesium board, MDF, particle board, ecological board and multi-layer board.

HPL Advantage

HPL can improve the hardness and rigidity of finished board, at the same time has the characteristics of melamine paper color diversity, which can be divided into several series such as solid color, wood grain, stone grain, metal grain, cloth grain, etc.

According to the type of pattern, it can also be subjected to various surface treatments such as mirror, matt, suede, emboss etc.

These processes also ensure the decorative performance of high pressure laminate, which can meet the requirements of veneer in many fields and styles.

What are the characteristics of compact?

Waterproof and moisture-proof, mildew-proof and antibacterial, fire-retardant, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, impact-resistant, green and environmentally friendly

High pressure laminate and compact laminate have appeared in every corner of our lives, such as various countertops, interior decoration, furniture, cabinets, exterior walls and other fields.

Various thicknesses of high pressure laminate

HPL mainly has the thickness for 0.35, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0mm.

The thickness of the HPL depends on the number and thickness of the core paper it uses, and its number and thickness determine the total thickness of the high pressure laminate.

0.35mm is very soft and suitable for some scenes that require bending

0.5mm is a relatively affordable thickness

0.6mm Customers can choose this thickness if they have high requirements for their finished products

0.7-0.8mm You can make some special steel plate textures on it, such as D8 texture texture, NT surface, this texture is very 3-D after it is made, it feels very good to touch, and it has a hard texture

1.0mm, this thickness is generally specified by the engineering party, and the hardness of the board is very high

If it exceeds 1.0mm, our product name becomes compact laminate

Common high pressure laminate surface texture types: Matte, suede, high gloss, NT, D8
