Questions & Answers
Wilsonart® Compact Laminate exhibit high resistance to impact and stress cracking due to their thickness.
Product Types 117 or 514 are both sanded on the back side. This allows the laminate to be fabricated over a frame instead of a substrate, and required no cross banding. It is often used as a component of tabletops, interior doors, or bonded to a structural member of a subway car interior.
The durability and impact resistance of Wilsonart® Compact Laminate exceeds that of comparably thick panels composed of HPDL applied to two sides of medium density fiberboard.
Compact Laminates are used in applications such as toilet and dressing room partitions, instrumentation panels, workbenches, shelving, cabinetry and counter or tabletops.
Compact Laminates are produced in various thicknesses adequate to preclude the use of a substrate. They are useful where flat, freestanding panels are needed for decorative and/or functional purposes.
Compact Laminate is composed of melamine decorative papers superimposed over Kraft phenolic core sheets to achieve the desired thickness. Decorative surface papers may be used on both sides of the panel, or one side may be sanded for bonding to a suitable frame.
