HPL Compact (or compact laminate) is a material made from several layers of special sheets of paper treated with thermo setting resins and pressed under pressure. When pressed and heated to a temperature of 140–150 degrees Celcius, the resins evenly permeate all layers of kraft paper. After pressing, the resulting sheet is placed on a conditioning tray. Depending on the thickness of the sheet, conditioning takes from 12 hours to several days. The result is monolithic in internal texture, resistant to mechanical stress and fading in the sun.
