Postform Formica High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is manufactured by setting a layer of overlay paper on top of a melamine resin impregnated pattern paper and over layers of phenolic resin impregnated kraft paper. The whole setting combination is then pressed at very high pressure and temperature to form a sheet of high pressure laminate. The HPL will then be sent for sizing to ensure uniform sizes and sandling on the back to maintain uniform thickness and to facilitate bonding. Most laminates are resistant to scratches, scuffing and abrasions. This material is very much affordable compared to other types of kitchen top.
