All you Need to know about High Pressure Laminates

Wooden laminates is a misnomer for wood grain laminates. As we know Laminates are made of Paper and not wood. Wooden laminates or Wood grain Laminates are primarily used as furniture surface and wall panel. These can be manufactured as either high pressure laminates or low-pressure laminates. Both of these are not much different from one another except for the amount of pressure applied.

High pressure laminates in India are manufactured by applying pressure not lesser than 1,000 psi (70 kg/cm²). Generally, the pressure these laminates are subjected to ranges between 1,200 psi to 2,000 psi (80 to 140 kg/cm²). High pressure laminates have resin impregnated cellulose layers that are consolidated under heat and pressure. The process makes laminates tougher and more durable, which makes them ideal to be used at different spaces.

The innovation and uniqueness of wooden laminates or Wood grain Laminates are not restricted to the manufacturing process. These are widely popular because of their other properties. Have a look at the characteristic properties of wooden laminates which sets them apart from traditional plywood:

1. Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal:
The pressure and heat applied during the manufacturing of laminates act against the bacteria that might be present on the surface. The final touch given during the polishing includes the use of various coatings and adhesives that further stops the bacterial colonies to grow and flourish.

2. Fire resistant and flame retardant:

There are a number of safety standards that go with the laminates. However, for a majority of standards, high pressure laminates in commonwealth countries including India adhere to British Standard 467 especially the part 6 and 7.

3. Other properties:
High pressure laminates in India are designed to meet the needs of the masses. These features are diverse and unique. Wooden laminates in India are impervious to moisture and insects like termites and borers. These are also boiling water resistant, which makes them a good choice for kitchens.
