PRODUCT INFORMATION
DUROPAL HPL-Compact
DUROPAL HPL-Compact combines decoration and safety to make the ideal material for professional
interior design – with the primary benefits being hygiene and durability. With the post-formable DUROPAL
HPL-Compact, we offer quality which can be formed and bent exactly as your customer requires.
This enables individual design solutions to meet the highest demands and quality specifications. The
product and colour match range allows consistent design in accordance with requirements using
decorative panels, DUROPAL HPL, DUROPAL HPL-Compact and DUROPAL HPL elements.
DUROPAL HPL-Compact from a thickness of 6 mm is a self-supporting material
for aesthetic structures of compact laminate with a black core. Due to its postformable
quality, DUROPAL HPL-Compact can even be used to produce special
elements.
Our working and cleaning recommendations provide you with all the information
you need to know about DUROPAL HPL-Solid.

elements, wall panelling or walls for operating theatres subject to extreme requirements. It can also be
used as impact protection or in vehicle manufacture. Corners and edges are no problem, because one of
the plus points of this compact laminate is its formability and the possibility of producing elements with a
tight radius.
DUROPAL HPL- Compact is also available to several safety standards and creates freedom for personal
design solutions.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Areas of application
Multi-purpose: Whether in laboratories, hospitals or sanitation areas – DUROPAL HPL-Compact is suitable
in interior design particularly for applications with demanding hygiene standards. High-quality shop-fittings,
kitchen worktops, office furniture, ships’ cabins and railway carriages also have to comply with these high
quality requirements.
At the same time, it must also meet versatile design requirements. DUROPAL HPL-Compact is also ideal
for use in exterior areas, such as maintenance-free roof eaves, children’s play areas, camping sites and
open-air pools not subject to official approval. Here too, high durability, long-term moisture resistance and
attractive colours are all in demand.

Something you can count on: Our DUROPAL high-pressure laminates (HPL) are durable, versatile in use
and available in many attractive décors. In order to ensure the best possible product use and enduring
aesthetics, please note the chemical, mechanical and physical properties of our DUROPAL high-pressure
laminates (HPL).
With regard to the combustion characteristics, protection against the emission of formaldehyde and the
surface finishing, there are slight differences between DUROPAL HPL and DUROPAL HPL-Compact. All
other points apply for both high-pressure laminates.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Chemical properties
The surface finish of DUROPAL HPL and DUROPAL HPL-Compact is resistant to contact with most common
chemicals and substances.
Cleaning agents such as acetone and substances such as vinegar, coffee or blood leave behind no
residues on the surface. Nor will there be any changes to the surface if any of the following example list
of substances are spilt on the surface and only left there for a short time (10–15 minutes).
The panels must therefore be wiped down with a wet cloth and then rubbed dry within 10–15 minutes!

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Physiological properties
DUROPAL HPL and DUROPAL HPL-Solid are physiologically harmless and suitable for use in rooms in
which foodstuffs are stored, processed and consumed. The property id confirmed by a safety declaration
of the ISEGA-Forschungs- und Untersuchungs-GmbH (tested to DIN EN 1186 and DIN EN 13130).
Protection against emission of formaldehyde from core materials
When DUROPAL HPL is used in combination with a core material, DUROPAL HPL, even at very low thicknesses,
provides effective protection against the possible diffusion of formaldehyde out of the core material.
Anti-static characteristics
The specific surface resistance of DUROPAL HPL under normal environmental conditions lies between
1x10 9 and 1x10 12 Ω (tested to DIN EN 61340). DUROPAL HPL surfaces therefore do not build up an
electrostatic charge very easily, and do not attract dust..
Quality monitoring
PFLEIDERER guarantees for DUROPAL HPL the maintenance of the following standards, e.g. with regard to
the product properties:
• EN 438: 2005, ISO 4586 Part 1: 2004, DIN EN ISO 9001: 2000
and the combustion characteristics:
• DIN 4102, AFNOR NFP 92.501, B/S 476 – parts 6.7, Eco-norm B 3800-1
Colours and surface textures
The comprehensive selection of colours and surface textures of our DUROPAL high-pressure laminates
enables them to be used in a wide range of application areas. We will be happy to advise you in the
choice of the right solution for you.
For further processing, DUROPAL HPL is sanded lengthwise ready for bonding.
For the rear side of DUROPAL HPL-Solid, the same specifications apply as for the front side.
Product and colour match
One décor – many possibilities: In the product and colour match range, melamine-faced chipboard
panels, DUROPAL high-pressure laminates (HPL) and edges can be combined in the same décor –
exactly to your requirements.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Over- and under-deliveries
Minor faults due to production and raw materials, which do not impair the product quality and are permitted
for 1st-choice materials, are assessed according to sorting regulations (based on EN 438, Part 3,
and the international ISO standard). We also reserve the right to make slight over- or under-deliveries
resulting from production requirements, in accordance with the PFLEIDERER delivery conditions.
Storage
The material should ideally be stored in closed rooms under normal ambient conditions (temperature
18–25 °C, relative air humidity 50–65 %).
The material must always be stored horizontally, with the edges flush, on a level surface, and be covered
with plastic film. The top panel must be completely covered by a cover board.
Disposal
DUROPAL HPL and DUROPAL HPL- Compact can be safely burned and incinerated in officially approved
industrial incineration units.
