High Pressure Laminates (HPL) are manufactured from layers of cellulose fiber (usually Kraft paper) impregnated in specially formulated thermosetting phenolic resins and bonded with layer(s) of imported coloured design papers impregnated in thermosetting melamine resin through the combined action of heat (150°C) and high pressure of 7 Mpa (70 kg/cm 2). The process takes place in multi-daylight presses and consists of the poly-condensation of the thermosetting resins, which yields a non-porous, homogenous material with strong internal cohesion (density 1.35-1.40 gm/cm 3).

 
     
 

During the pressing process, metal plates impress a fine texture finish onto the laminate surface which, depending on the function and the desired scratch and wear resistance, ranges from high glossy to various textured finishes.

HPL is supplied as panels in a combination of sizes, thickness, décor colour and surface textures.

 
     
 

Apart from the various in-process quality checks, at the end of production cycle, the finished product is subjected to stringent testing and visual inspection to ensure that only products conforming to specifications is dispatched to the customers. At the packing & dispatch stage, customised packing is provided to the finished product in order to ensure proper protection of the product from dust, moisture and handling shocks. The use of packing type is customised to ensure easier unloading of crates or pallets from containers and their handling in warehouse.
