Formica high pressure laminates consist of
paper and thermosetting synthetic resins, with
paper comprising more than 60% of the
product. The pulp for manufacturing this paper
uses timber from managed sustainable softwood
forests and from recycled paper products.
Formica laminate waste can be burned in
modern, officially approved industrial
incinerators, or can be disposed of in official
landfill sites. Thermo-recycling, which recovers
18 - 20 MJ/kg, is the best option for disposing
of waste HPL.
Phenol formaldehyde resin is used in the core
layers of Formica high pressure laminate, while
melamine formaldehyde resin is used in the
surface layers. These resins are irreversibly
inter-reacted, with cross linked chemical bonds
being formed; this results in a stable,
non-reactive material whose characteristics are
totally different from those of the constituent
parts. The laminate formulation does not include
asbestos, cadmium, polychlorinated biphenyls,
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), bromine / chlorine
compounds or heavy metals.
The decorative surfaces resist all common
household solvents and detergents and, in
normal use, do not release any gases or other
substances. They are, therefore, approved for
food contact.
Formica high pressure laminate is difficult to
ignite and has properties which retard the spread
of flame. Decorative laminates, like all organic
materials, will emit CO and CO2, depending on
burning conditions; they burn much like other
wood-based products.
