The decorative paper is considered the most important part of HPL sheet. The decorative paper is dipped in a melamine resin “bath tub”. Cellulose in the paper will become glossy and more colorful. Decorative paper requires a clean environment, preventing dust and impurity.
The overlay is made of pure cenllulose with the quantity of paper is 18 – 50 g/m2. Hence, this layer requires refined paperflour. Top layer paper is translucent after being submerged in resin.
