Best Answer

Formica® decorative laminate consists of layers of specially selected kraft and printed papers impregnated with thermosetting synthetic resins and fused together under heat and high pressure in a controlled environment so that the component parts consolidate to form a single high density sheet of laminate.

A. A protective, transparent layer of alpha cellulose paper impregnated with melamine formaldehyde resin. This provides resistance to stains, heat, scratches and abrasion.

B. A printed sheet incorporating decorative colours or designs impregnated with melamine formaldehyde resin. This gives colour-fastness and clarity.

C. The core layers are kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin. From this the finished laminate gains its strength, stability and flexibility.

By adjusting raw materials and manufacturing processes, Formica Limited has the capability to produce laminate sheets with different performance characteristics suited to many different applications
