3.Machining and processing HPL
The “worktop” composite element essentially consists of a wood-based substrate (primarily with a thickness of 28 or 38 mm). It is equipped with HPL on the top side and with a suitable balancing (to protect against steam and water influence) on the underside. On postforming worktops, the transition between the HPL and the balancing is protected against ingress of moisture or water with a sealing coat. In addition, there is an option of applying suitable edge banding to the edges of the worktop.
