Changzhou Yaming Wood Industry Co.,Ltd

In an era that prioritizes efficiency, environmental protection, and aesthetics, phenolic compact board has emerged as a revolutionary material in architecture, furniture manufacturing, and interior design. As a leading manufacturer, Yaming Wood Industry specializes in producing high-quality phenolic compact boards. 

I. Definition and Core Properties of Phenolic Compact Board

Phenolic Compact Board (PCB) is a high-pressure laminate (HPL) made by bonding multiple layers of resin-impregnated paper with phenolic resin under high temperature and pressure. Available in thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 25mm, it is self-supporting and requires no additional substrate, earning it names like "high-pressure laminate phenolic board" or HPL compact panels.

As a professional Chinese manufacturer, Yaming Wood Industry ensures the following core properties through advanced production processes:

• High Impact Resistance: Dense structure withstands frequent mechanical stress.

• Moisture and Corrosion Resistance: Natural water resistance of phenolic resin makes it ideal for bathrooms, labs, and humid environments.

• Dual-Side Decorative Options: Hundreds of colors and textures to meet diverse design needs.

• Ease of Processing: Supports cutting, drilling, and custom machining for complex installations.

II. Technical Specifications and Key Features of Yaming’s Phenolic Compact Board

1. Physical Performance: Built for Harsh Environments

• Self-Supporting Strength:

  • 3mm panels withstand static loads of 50kg/m²;

  • 6mm panels are suitable for tabletops and countertops without reinforcement (data from Yaming Lab).

• Exceptional Weather Resistance:

  • Passes 1,000-hour UV aging test with color difference ΔE ≤ 3 (3x better than standard boards), ideal for outdoor sunshades and balcony cladding.

• Moisture Resistance:

  • Expansion rate ≤ 0.2% after 48 hours in 90% humidity environments, perfect for bathroom partitions and kitchen cabinets.

2. Functional Advantages: Adaptability Across Scenarios

• Chemical Resistance:

  • Resists alcohol, acids, alkalis, and cleaners without discoloration (tested per GB/T 17657), suitable for lab benches and medical equipment cabinets.

• Fire Safety:

  • Achieves B1 fire rating (GB 8624), self-extinguishing with no toxic fumes, meeting public building safety standards.

• Machinability:

  • Cut, drill, or mill without edge sealing; on-site processing reduces material waste (loss rate ≤ 5%).

3. Aesthetic Versatility: Blending Beauty and Practicality

Yaming offers hundreds of surface designs, including:

• Woodgrains: Oak, walnut, carbonized wood, replicating natural textures.

• Solid Colors: Classic black/white to modern Morandi tones for minimalist or bold designs.

• Special Textures: Metal brushed, fabric, stone patterns for high-end commercial spaces.

III. Five Key Application Scenarios

1. High-Traffic Public Areas

Walls and furniture in hospitals, schools, and airports leverage its abrasion resistance and antibacterial properties (EN 438 certified).

2. Humidity-Prone Environments

Locker rooms and poolside partitions utilize its water absorption rate < 0.5% to prevent swelling.

3. Medical and Laboratory Settings

ISO 9001-compliant production ensures seamless surfaces to inhibit bacterial growth, resistant to alcohol and disinfectants.

4. Custom Commercial Designs

Retail displays and curved bar counters benefit from bendability (minimum bending radius: 50mm).

5. Industrial Durability Demands

25mm-thick boards support 500kg/m² static loads for factory consoles and logistics workstations.

V. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does phenolic compact board differ from standard HPL?
A: Traditional HPL requires substrates (e.g., particleboard), while PCBs are self-supporting (thickness ≥3mm, density >1450kg/m³).

Q2: Is it suitable for extreme climates?
A: Yaming’s boards pass -40°C to 80°C thermal cycling tests, ideal for Middle Eastern heat or Nordic cold.

Q3: How to clean and maintain?
A: Wipe with neutral detergent; avoid abrasive tools like steel wool.
