High pressure laminate
Facade systems with composite panels
(High pressure laminate) facade panels are made from thermoset plastic laminates (HPL) in accordance with EN 438-6, Type EDF to provide effective weather protection. The panel core is made of kraft papers, which are wood-based materials impregnated with synthetic resins. Weather protection is provided by a coating of double hardened acrylic polyurethane resins. HPL panels are manufactured in laminate presses under conditions of high temperature and pressure.
When cutting HPL facade panels, it is important to remember that their length can change as a result of moisture absorption. The cladding must be fastened to the substructure in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions using clearly defined fixed and sliding point brackets.
