But we discover together what it tratta.Il a laminate wood-like coating usually applied to various materials such as lMdf, chipboard or honeycomb. Such a coating (known in the past as ant) u200bu200bconsists of panels obtained by pressing them between layers of paper soaked in melamine or phenolic resins.

It is usually used to coat furniture that are not subjected to high stresses, such as doors, shoulders and hips of furniture. Finally the CHPL or Continuous Hight Pressure Laminate a laminate obtained by continuous pressing but with the features dellHight Pressure.Per as regards the resins in which they are impregnated, the laminates are distinguished especially in polymer, in which a wooden panel is coated pvc or other synthetic material, which, in addition to convey a pleasing appearance, ensures resistance to scratches and liquids; melamine? if the laminate coated with an impregnated sheet of melamine resins; phenolic if the paper used for the laminate was impregnated with phenolic resins.
