Definition and Manufacturing Process
Compact Laminate, also known as Kangbeite Board, is a high-strength decorative panel made by polymerizing wood fibers and thermosetting resins under high temperature (150°C) and pressure (1,430 psi). Its core process involves impregnating decorative color paper with melamine resin and layering it with phenolic resin-soaked kraft paper. The laminated materials are then pressed into sheets with thicknesses ranging from 0.6 mm to 25 mm. Its “through-core structure” ensures uniform performance across the entire material
Core Characteristics
- Durability: High elastic modulus, tensile/flexural strength, and impact resistance, suitable for bolt or plug-in installations.
- Environmental Adaptability: Waterproof, moisture-resistant, and excellent weather resistance, capable of withstanding UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and harsh weather. Outdoor facades require cleaning only every 3–4 years.
- Fire Safety: Complies with Europe’s highest fire safety standards (e.g., Class B), non-combustible, and emits no toxic fumes, making it ideal for laboratories and high-risk environments.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Offers glossy, matte, textured, and patterned surfaces, with options for single or dual-color designs.
Applications
- Indoor Use: Bank counters, restroom partitions, school furniture, leveraging its abrasion resistance, antibacterial properties, and anti-static features.
- Outdoor Projects: Building facades, balcony railings, utilizing weather-resistant metal or natural color series.
- Laboratory Facilities: Workbenches, chemical cabinets, valued for chemical resistance and easy cleaning.
Compact Laminate combines structural stability with functional versatility, making it a premier choice for modern architecture and interior design, balancing practicality and aesthetics
