What is HPL Compact?


In today's field of architectural decoration and industrial materials, HPL Compact (High Pressure Laminated Compact Board) has gradually become the preferred material for designers, architects, and end-users due to its excellent performance and wide range of application scenarios. As a hpl compact manufacturer focusing on the research and development of high-performance materials, Yaming has pushed HPL Compact to a more efficient, environmentally friendly, and multifunctional dimension through technological innovation.
I. Definition and Core Characteristics of HPL Compact
HPL Compact is a laminated sheet made through a high-temperature and high-pressure process, formed by stacking and pressing multiple layers of cellulose materials (such as kraft paper) impregnated with resin. Compared with traditional HPL (High Pressure Laminated Board), the Compact series, through optimizing the production process, has achieved a thinner thickness (usually 0.5-3mm) and a higher density, while retaining the core characteristics such as wear resistance, impact resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.
Yaming's HPL Compact further adopts nano-coating technology to enhance the surface anti-fouling ability and supports customized texture and color design to meet diverse needs from simplicity to luxury. Its lightweight characteristic also simplifies the transportation and installation processes and reduces the overall project cost.
II. Six Core Characteristics of HPL Compact
1. Fire Resistant
Yaming's HPL Compact has passed the national standard GB 8624 B1 level and the international UL94 fire protection certification. It can effectively delay the spread of fire when encountering fire, especially suitable for scenarios with high safety standards such as hospitals, laboratories, and public transportation.
2. Environmental
Using formaldehyde-free resin adhesives and recyclable kraft paper base materials, it complies with the EU REACH environmental protection standard, with VOC emissions approaching zero, ensuring the health of indoor air.
3. Durable
The surface hardness reaches Mohs level 5, and its scratch resistance is more than 10 times that of ordinary coatings. It can withstand high-frequency use and is especially suitable for densely populated areas such as shopping mall counters and school desks.
4. Wide Range Colors
Yaming provides more than 100 surface treatment processes such as wood grain, stone grain, solid color, and metal wire, such as:
Imitation of natural texture: MSK (Micro Mosaic), YM (Metal Brushing)
Three-dimensional touch: HD (Engraving), ST (Saw Cutting)
Functional finishes: PR (Antibacterial Sheepskin Texture), YS (Anti-slip Stone Texture)
5. Easy Processing
It supports the Postforming process, which can be used to make curved corners or curved surface structures, applied to irregular designs such as bar counters and outpatient guidance desks, reducing seams and enhancing the aesthetic appearance.
6. Versatile
From extremely cold environments of -30°C to high-temperature environments of 80°C, HPL Compact can maintain stability. It also has the characteristics of resistance to chemical corrosion (CRL series) and UV protection, suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor scenarios.
III. Application Scenarios of HPL Compact
1. Architecture and Interior Decoration
Walls and partitions: The lightweight characteristic is suitable for high-rise buildings, reducing the structural load.
Countertops and furniture: Widely used in kitchen countertops, office desks, and laboratory workbenches.
2. Public Transportation Facilities
In scenarios such as the interior decoration of subway carriages and airport check-in counters, its wear resistance and fire resistance are utilized to improve safety.
3. Medical and Educational Fields
The antibacterial version of HPL Compact can be used on the walls of hospital operating rooms and school desks to inhibit the growth of bacteria.
4. Protection of Industrial Equipment
As an anti-corrosion panel for mechanical equipment, it extends the service life of the equipment.
IV. How to Choose High-quality HPL Compact Sheets?
1. Clarify Performance Requirements
Wear resistance grade: Select AC3-AC5 grade according to the passenger flow.
Fire protection grade: Flame-retardant boards of grade A2 should be selected for areas with high fire risk.
Special functions: Whether characteristics such as antibacterial and antistatic are required.
2. Investigate Supplier Qualifications
Yaming Wood Industry has passed the ISO 9001 quality system certification and the FSC forest environmental protection certification. It has an automated production base of 14,000㎡, with an annual production capacity of 5 million㎡, and supports customized ODM/OEM services.
3. Verify Product Details
Base material density: The density of high-quality HPL Compact is ≥1.5g/cm³.
Edge treatment: Check whether the edge sealing has no chipping and no glue marks.
Inspection reports: Request test data such as formaldehyde release and abrasion resistance revolutions issued by SGS.
V. Why Choose Yaming's HPL Compact?
1. Technological Leadership
Exclusive process: Adopting the 3D-Wooden three-dimensional embossing technology to restore 95% of the real wood texture.
Innovative research and development: In 2023, the antibacterial and antiviral series was launched, with an inactivation rate of up to 99.6%.
