Application

Suitable for internal use on a wide range of applications.

Description

  • PRINT HPL is a high-pressure decorative laminate, in other words a panel consisting of layers of cellulose fibers that are impregnated with thermosetting resins and subjected to a high pressure process consisting in the simultaneous application of heat and pressure. This causes at the same time the fluidization and polycondensation of the resins, resulting in a homogeneous, non-porous material with the required surface finish.
  • The materials referred to are high pressure decorative laminates (HPL) according to the European norm EN 438 and to ISO 4586.
  • PRINT HPL are sheets consisting of layers of cellulose fibrous material (normally paper) impregnated with thermosetting resins and bonded together by the high pressure process. The process, defined as the simultaneous application of heat (≥ 120° C) and high specific pressure (≥ 5 MPa) provides flowing and subsequent curing of the thermosetting resins to obtain a homogenous non-porous material (≥ 1,35 g/cm³) with the required surface finish.

Sustainability data

Contains Red List materials

No

Manufacturer guidance

Decorative laminates are cured and therefore chemically inert. Gas release from surfaces and edges are insignificant. Due to their very low permeability PRINT HPL bonded to wood based substrates act as a barrier against possible formaldehyde emissions coming from the substrates. PRINT HPL formaldehyde emission level is far below the limit for wood based materials. There is no migration affecting foodstuffs and, consequently, PRINT HPL are approved for contact with foodstuffs.

Recyclability

-

Manufacturer guidance

  • On account of their high calorific value (18 - 20 MJ/kg)* PRINT HPL are ideal for thermal recycling. When burned completely at 850 °C, PRINT HPL produce water, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Therefore PRINT HPL comply e.g. with the Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz (para. 6). Well controlled burning processes are achieved in modern, officially approved industrial incinerators. Ashes of this process can be brought to controlled waste disposal sites.
  • The CER code for the disposal of the laminate and the dust of laminate is 030105.
  • Refer to manufacturer's product data sheet.
