Print HPL is the perfect solution in order to respond to each application and contest it may be used. Abet laminate production process is carried out by using several Kraft paper layers impregnated with thermosetting resin and decorative paper. Kraft paper used for the sheet core is impregnated with phenolic thermosetting resins, while the decorative paper used for the surface is treated with melaminic aminoplastic resins and it is specifically designed to have high performance. Impregnated layers are stacked and bonded and, once loaded into the press, they undergo simultaneously to the combined action of heat (at the temperature of 150 °C) and pressure (up to 9 MPa). The policondensing reaction taking plce creates chemical cross bonds so that phenolic and melaminic resins are stably intertwined to each other. With its excellent resistance to water and steam, Print HPL is an ideal material for applications in wet areas. Natural variations in temperature and humidity have no adverse effect on the properties of the laminate, which are not affected by thermal shocks leaving its physical and mechanical properties unchanged.
