Laminated veneer paper a Great Substitute for HPL
As all plywood manufacturers know, pasting melamine paper directly on plywood can cause a number of problems, such as bubbles, shining spots, peeling and so on. Therefore, HPL came into being, but the high cost of HPL production still cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Happily, Dare Wood new product LVP solves this problem perfectly. This is certainly a first.
What is HPL & LVP?
HPL LVP
Form above two pictures about HPL&LVP structure, we can easily recognize what is HPL&LVP.
For HPL: It is 60-70 percent paper, saturated with different kinds of plastic resins. The core of a sheet of HPL is made of several layers of kraft paper (similar to shopping bag paper) saturated with phenolic resin. The visual layer is a sheet melamine-impregnated decor paper with a solid color or printed design, which is topped with a protective wear layer that can also carry metallic or other inclusions for extra design flair.
For LVP: As we can see, it is melamine paper on recon veneer. The melamine paper is used to make the decorative layer which offer more than 500 designs by Ruitai Woods. Under the melamine paper is recon veneer which played an important role in avoiding bubbles when pressing under high temperature and pressure.
Invention of LVP
