The HPL consists of printed decoration paper fused to 6–8 sheets of Kraft paper saturated with a synthetic thermosetting resin. This process combines the sheets using heat and pressure to form flexible, single, high-density laminate sheets. So, the manufacturers will reinforce this process with metal and mesh layers. At the end, the sheets will be laminated onto wood substrates.
HPL boards are available in a variety of colors, textures, and styles. Archit Group is one of the top laminate sheet suppliers in India. You can use these sheets to imitate the appearance of other materials quite easily. Melanin-based resins are soaked into the countertop surface patterns of the laminates to increase resistance to abrasion, heat, discoloration, and thermal stress and impact.
There is a diverse thickness and range of high-pressure laminate boards available on the market. Some of them are:
- 6mm Thick: This HPL panel has a decorative dark gray sheet infused with melamine resin on both sides.
