HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is a multi-layered, high-pressure plastic produced in Uzbekistan’s Tashkent region at cutting-edge facilities. Combining strength, aesthetics, and affordability, it stands out among competitors due to local production and rigorous quality control.
Who Produces HPL in Uzbekistan?
Leading manufacturers operate modern plants equipped with German and Italian high-pressure presses. They adopt technology from American industry leaders like Wilsonart, tailored to local conditions. Raw materials—kraft paper and resins—are partly sourced from Europe and partly made locally, reducing costs without compromising quality.
Why Is Our HPL Better Than Competitors?
Uzbek HPL outperforms foreign analogs (Italian Abet Laminati, American Formica, Turkish Kastamonu) in several ways:
* Price: Local production cuts logistics costs, making it 20–30% cheaper than imports.
* Quality: Abrasion tests per EN 438 show up to 400–500 cycles (AC4 level), surpassing many Chinese analogs (300 cycles).
* Eco-Friendliness: Low-formaldehyde resins meet the E1 safety standard for residential use.
* Adaptability: Designed for Uzbekistan’s climate, it withstands heat up to +50 °C and humidity up to 80%.
Thickness and Properties
HPL ranges from 0.5 mm to 20 mm:
* 0.5–1 mm – for furniture and wall cladding;
* 6–12 mm – for countertops and panels;
* 15–20 mm – for exterior work and load-bearing structures.
Impact tests (EN ISO 178) confirm a 12 mm sheet resists a 2 kg weight dropped from 1 meter without cracking.
Colors and Textures
Uzbek HPL offers over 100 shades, from classic white, black, and gray to vibrant red and blue. Textures mimic oak, walnut, marble, concrete, or matte silk. Deep embossing (EIR technology) ensures a realistic feel that doesn’t fade after 5 years of sun exposure (QUV test – 2000 hours).
Where Is HPL Used?
* Kitchens: 12 mm countertops resist hot pans (up to 180 °C briefly) and knife scratches.
* Building Facades: 15–20 mm sheets for ventilated facades, enduring rain and UV rays.
* Furniture: Cabinets, tables, chairs – strength and style for homes and offices.
* Transport: Bus and train interiors – lightweight and wear-resistant.
* Public Spaces: Wall panels in schools and hospitals – antibacterial and easy to clean.
Advantages of HPL
* Abrasion: Up to 500 cycles – better than Turkish Kastamonu (350).
* Moisture Resistance: No swelling after 24-hour submersion (EN 317 test).
* Heat Resistance: Holds up to +150 °C without warping.
* Ease: Cuts and bonds easily (e. g., with polyurethane glue).
