Pantograph
Mechanical instrument used to reproduce and engrave drawings and signs on a scale.
Planarity
Feature of a panel to be perfectly flat, without concave or convex warping.
Plates
The metal plates are utilized for the production of the high pressure laminates: during the assembly phase they frame and compress the different layers of the kraft and decorative paper which will be then laminated. From their surface features depends the type of finish.
Post-forming
Heating and shaping process for a post-formable laminate to create concave or convex shapes.
Pre-conditioning
Stocking operation of panel and/or substrate at given temperature and humidity environment conditions in order to reduce the dimensional changes of the compound panel.
Pressing
Phase of the HPL production which transforms the materials irreversibly: the impregnated sheets of decorative and kraft paper undergo a process of heat and elevated pressure and give origin to the HPL sheets.
Press (multi-daylight)
In the HPL production, the presses for the thermo-lamination typically are multi-daylight. The packages of thermosetting resins impregnated papers are placed In the daylights and the laminates come out of them after the pressing stage.
Properties of the HPL
The set of mechanical, physical and chemical resistance features of the high pressure laminate sheets:
- Impact resistant
- Scratch and wear-resistant
- Light fastness
- Easy to clean
- Heat-resistant (up to 180°)
- Hygienic
- Suitable for contact with food
