Definition: Compact Laminate is essentially very thick (up to and exceeding half-an-inch) sheets of HPL, also known as "solid phenolic."

 

It can carry a decorative and wear layer like HPL, but has a characteristic black or brown edge that can be machined to a smoothness exceeding that of solid surface material.

 

Applications: Compact laminate is self-supporting and very strong, and has long been used as lab tabletops, bathroom stall dividers and for bullet-proof panels. Some office systems companies have created unique desk, conference and task table designs with these strong, thin panels. It has also been widely specified as exterior cladding for commercial buildings across Europe.
