Compact laminate is a type of high-pressure laminate (HPL) that is an integral part of the paints and coatings market. Distinguished by its enhanced mechanical properties and thickness, it is widely used for both indoor and outdoor applications. In the context of paints and coatings, compact laminate serves as a durable decorative surface material that resists wear, moisture, and other environmental stresses. It is commonly applied in environments demanding high performance and hygienic surfaces, such as hospitals, commercial kitchens, and laboratories. These laminates are often treated with various coatings to enhance their UV stability, fire retardance, and antibacterial properties. The decorative aspect of compact laminates falls under the purview of the paints and coatings industry as they are often finished with specialized coatings to achieve a wide array of textures and appearances, mimicking materials like wood, metal, or stone. As such, they are integral to the sector, complementing traditional paint and coat applications and offering a solution that combines both aesthetic appeal and functional robustness. Some notable companies within the compact laminate market include Formica Group, Wilsonart LLC, Greenlam Industries Ltd., and Trespa International B.V. These companies provide a range of products and are recognized for their innovations in laminate design and surface technology. Show Less Read more
