Laminate worktop
The melamine laminate worktop is made of a water-repellent wood particle (E1 class) panel with a high-pressure plastic laminate (HPL) coating. The decorative laminate, created by layers of paper impregnated with thermosetting resins, is subjected to the combined action of heat (>=120°C) and high pressure (>=5Mpa) giving the finished product mechanical, physical and chemical resistance, easy workability and great simplicity of maintenance. Available in various thicknesses, it can have different looks suitable for both classic and modern models, depending on the finishes chosen and the work performed (worktop post-formed edge, worktop square edge or inclined ABS1 edge).
One colour worktop
The unicolor laminate worktop, uniformly coloured throughout its thickness, consists of a water-repellent wood particle board (E1 class) covered with a 1.2 mm thick decorative laminate applied at high pressure (HPL - High Pressure Laminate), in turn composed of cellulose-based materials, layers of paper coloured and impregnated (60-70%) with thermosetting resins (30-40%). Its characteristics include mechanical, physical and chemical resistance, easy workability and ease of maintenance. The thickness of the laminate makes it possible to install hobs and sinks with flush tops. Available in various heights with U3 profile or folding edge
Layered HPL worktop
The HPL layered worktop consists of layers of Kraft paper impregnated with amino plastic thermosetting resins. During processing it is subjected to high pressure (9MPa) and high heat (150°C) in special multi-daylight presses, where the polycondensation of the resins takes place in such a way as to obtain a material that is non-porous, stable and with high mechanical resistance. Available in different thicknesses and profiles (squared and inclined).
