Laminates are basically a blend of paper and plastic. Decorative laminate is commonly used to surface kitchen counters, table tops, and cabinetry because of its resistance to stains, scratches, and heat. The laminate sheets are made up of three layers: the bottom layer of brown paper coated with phenolic resin, a second layer of paper decorated with the desired pattern, and a third layer of clear sheet. Brown paper and decorative paper soaked in phenolic and melamine resins are hard-pressed together to form a stiff laminate sheet.

Decorative laminates can be manufactured as either high- or low-pressure laminate, with the two processes not much different from each other except for the pressure applied in the pressing process.

HPL is the abbreviation for High Pressure Laminate. HPL is made up of several layers that are compressed (laminated) under very high pressure. This creates a very dense, hard and form-retaining sheet (HPL). It is considered to be one of the most durable decorative surface materials and is available with special performance properties including chemical, fire and wear resistance.

Phenolic Epoxy Laminates are a material, made of laminated cotton cloth, glass cloth or paper with phenolic resin or epoxy resin in the form of sheet, tube or rod, by processing under heat and pressure. It can be used in transformer oil. 

Pieces of cloth or special paper are placed in a special bath and impregnated with phenolic or epoxy resins, warmed to a temperature of 40 C. The fabric is then squeezed and dried, and then cut and pressed at high temperature. The obtained plate are cooled under pressure. The result is a durable and lightweight material with high performance.

We offer phenolic / epoxy cotton cloth laminates, phenolic paper laminates and epoxy / phenolic glass cloth laminated rods, sheets and tubes in huge stock shape ranges. We can also sell smaller offcuts if needed.
