How it's made
- Multiple sheets of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin are stacked.
- A decorative paper layer is placed on the outside.
- The stack is pressed under high heat and pressure to form a solid, dense board.
- The result is a self-supporting, waterproof, and impact-resistant sheet.
Key Properties
- Extremely durable: Impact, scratch, and wear resistant
- Moisture & wear resistant: Ideal for wet or humid areas
- No substrate required: Stronger and more rigid than HPL panels on board
- Hygienic & non-porous - Easy to clean, good for healthcare and food prep
- Design variety: Available in many colors, patterns, and finishes
Common Uses
- Restroom partitions / cubicles
- Lockers and changing room furniture
- Countertops in high-traffic or wet environments
- Laboratory benches and healthcare surfaces
- Exterior cladding (when designed for outdoor grade)
