Formica Dover White laminate combines a clean, bright appearance with exceptional durability, making it an ideal choice for a variety of interior applications.
Formica Dover White Laminate
Formica Dover White Laminate (HPL) is a versatile and durable surface material widely utilized in architecture, furniture design, and various interior applications. HPL consists primarily of layers of kraft paper sheets, which are impregnate with phenolic resin and the decorative layer is treated with melamine resin to enhance aesthetics. These layers are then pressed together under high heat (around 300°F) and pressure (over 1000 psi), resulting in a robust sheet that can withstand significant wear and tear.
