Application of Impregnated Paper

The paper impregnation line (melamine / phenolic impregnation and coating line) is the core equipment for the secondary processing of wood-based panel. Through impregnation, coating and drying the decorative paper/ wear-resistant paper/balance paper and kraft paper with resin, then produces impregnated film paper. This film paper is subsequently heat-pressed and adhered onto MDF, particleboard(chipboard), plywood and other substrates, serving as an upstream process in modern home furnishing, interior decoration, public buildings and engineering building materials.

Main Applications of Building Materials and Furniture

• Decorative surface paper (70–120g/㎡)

Impregnated with melamine, featuring wood grain / stone texture / solid color. It is used as the main decorative surface for furniture, cabinets, and door panels, and some of these decorative surface papers also have wear resistance;

• Wear-resistant surface layer paper

High content of aluminum oxide for wear resistance, suitable for use in flooring and countertops;

• Balance paper

Backside is moisture-proof, prevents deformation, and eliminates internal stress. It is essential for flooring;

• Phenolic kraft paper

Core paper for high-pressure fire-resistant board HPL and construction templates, with high strength, flame retardancy, and water resistance;

Core Functions of Building Materials and Furniture

• Surface Beautification

Replicating wood grain, stone texture, solid color, and relief patterns, replacing solid wood and natural stone materials. Color patterns can be customized to any desired design.

• Performance Enhancement

Giving the panels the properties of wear resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, stain resistance, moisture resistance, flame retardancy, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning.

• No-Varnish Environmentally Friendly

No need for on-site painting or spraying. Low formaldehyde impregnated film, ready to install immediately, without any on-site pollution.

• Cost Reduction and Efficiency Increase

Mass production with automation, costs are significantly lower than solid wood finishes, painted finishes, or wood veneer finishes.

• Stable and Durable

After resin curing, the surface becomes dense, resistant to aging and sunlight exposure, suitable for long-term indoor use.

Industry Advantages and Development Trends

• The horizontal impregnation line uses water-based low-aldehyde and no-aldehyde resins.

• Digital printing of impregnation paper, relief three-dimensional texture, and synchronized matching of patterns.

• Antibacterial, formaldehyde-free, flame-retardant, and anti-static functional impregnation paper.

• Compatible with flat-laying process, short cycle and rapid hot pressing, and adhering to the trend of integrated customization.
