1. What is Laminate?

Laminate is a type of paper commonly used to cover various types of engineered wood, such as particle board, MDF, and HDF, to create beautiful wood grain surfaces with added protection. It is commonly used in furniture, decorative panels, and flooring. Post-forming laminate, a variant, can be bent to create luxurious, seamless, and refined interior materials

2. Composition and Structure

A laminate sheet consists of one or multiple layers of paper, each serving a specific function: kraft paper, decorative paper, and overlay layer

  • Decorative paper is usually impregnated with a resin, often melamine. These papers are pressed under suitable temperature and pressure for a specific duration to form the laminate material.

  • Kraft paper is a type of paper with controlled permeability, produced from hard kappa wood with high uniformity. The paper weight typically ranges from 80 to 120 g/m2.

  • Decorative paper is the most crucial component of laminate surfaces as it provides the visual appearance to the material. When impregnated with resin, the cellulose components in the paper become glossy, highlighting the pigments and color dyes. Decorative paper requires high cleanliness to avoid dust and impurities sticking to it.

  • The overlay layer, with a weight ranging from 18 to 50 g/m2, is made from pure cellulose, which requires clean paper pulp. When immersed in the impregnating resin, the overlay becomes transparent, allowing the decorative paper to be visible.

3. Advantages

Laminates offer superior scratch resistance, water resistance, and heat resistance compared to regular melamine. The thickness of laminate ranges from 0.5 mm to 1 mm. The film effects on laminate surfaces exhibit a better resemblance to natural wood grain, with depth and authenticity.
