Multifunctional surfaces with HPL

May, 2017

Preface

High-pressure laminate (HPL) in accordance with EN 438 has been used in the construction and furniture sector for decades. The European standard EN 438 defines the material, requirements and properties of HPL.
HPL is a resin and paper-based thermosetting composite material and features a unique, extremely robust, resistant, modern and very decorative surface. HPL is omnipresent in our day-to-day lives and is self-supporting or used in conjunction with substrates. The application and usage areas of HPL are extremely diverse and are constantly evolving. This requires knowledge management which provides regularly updated information and assistance with regard to different applications and processing, in the form of technical bulletins.
The technical bulletin “Multifunctional surfaces with HPL” illustrates the possible applications of HPL in rooms used for presentations or events which require the use of projectors, flipcharts etc. This offers useful advice with regard to its areas of application.
