High pressure laminate (HPL) is a durable and versatile material used for various applications such as countertops, furniture, wall panels, and flooring. It is made by layering multiple sheets of paper or fabric impregnated with thermosetting resins and then compressing them under high heat and pressure. This results in a dense, hard, and non-porous surface that is resistant to scratches, stains, and impact. The top layer is usually a decorative sheet with a printed pattern or texture that mimics the look of natural materials such as wood, stone, or metal. HPL is known for its strength, durability, and easy maintenance, making it a popular choice in both residential and commercial settings.
