IMPRESS PAPER LAM - IPL
IMPRESS PAPER LAM - IPL
IMPREGNATED PAPER WITH ENHANCED WEAR RESISTANCE OFFERS SURFACE PROTECTION FOR “ROUGH” SERVICE CONDITIONS, INCREASED SCRATCH RESISTANCE AND IMPROVED PROCESSING CONDITIONS
THE PRODUCT
Surface of the new generation Newly developed melamine impregnated paper for highly strained surfaces A wide range of former CPL and HPL applications, such as office furniture, public furniture, work tops and surfaces for shop fitters can be produced. Possibility of postforming Easy and fast processing with a short cycle press
no need to glue a laminate like for CPL applications
no additional overlay for protection purpose needed
In colour and appearance it fits very well to standard melamine papers and can be combined easily. Two products, one supplier.
IMPRESS PAPER LAM IS DESIGNED FOR APPLICATIONS SUCH AS OFFICE FURNITURE, PUBLIC FURNITURE, WORK TOPS, INTERIOR DOORS AND SHOP FITTINGS.
THE APPLICATION
The picture shows the difference employing the taber abrasion test (same number of revolutions). The difference between IMPRESS PAPER LAM compared to standard melamine paper appears at a glance.

Additional surface protection is usually obtained by using an additional overlay paper. This implies more logistics, a negative impact on brilliance and colour of the decor, and additional costs. With IMPRESS PAPER LAM no supplementary overlay is needed for surface protection.

Most suitable applications: Kitchen work tops Quality office furniture, especially office tables Surface laminate for interior doors Shop fittings All known CPL and HPL applications
HOW TO PROCESS
EASY AND FAST PROCESSING WITH A SHORT CYCLE PRESS. APPLICATIONS FOR POSTFORMING ARE POSSIBLE.
IMPRESS PAPER LAM can easily be processed with a standard short cycle press. A recommended pressing plate structure is matt or wood grain surface. Surface protection is secured by the surface protection system developed by impress. No additional overlay is needed. With the specially developed press plate protection test highly increased cycle times for press plates can be expected – a real revolution for direct corundum applications. Our technical team is available for support on request.
THE BENEFITS
NO OVERLAY NEEDED TO PROTECT THE SURFACE FROM ABRASION. THE BRILLIANCE OF THE COLOUR REMAINS WITHOUT MILKY APPEARANCE. IMPRESS PAPER LAM CAN REPLACE CPL OR HPL WHILE KEEPING THE SAME SURFACE PARAMETERS.
Summary of benefits: Higher wear protection than standard melamine Enhanced scratching resistance Cheaper than CPL/HPL whilst having the same surface parameters (following EN 438-3, an IPL surface corresponds to a HGS 333 and HGP 333 classification. Processing with a short cycle press Easily combined with same decors under standard melamine. Brilliance and colour of the decor remains the same. Much improved press plate protection in comparison to direct corundum surfaces. No additional logistics Postforming applications possible, implying the right underlay set-up.
