Use of Compact Laminate (HPL) in the industry
Compact laminate, also called solid phenolic, is a high-pressure laminate material made by pressing layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin under high heat and pressure. The result is a dense, non-porous, and highly durable panel.
HPL offers:
- Exceptional durability in high-traffic environments
- Moisture, mold, and mildew resistance
- Impact and scratch resistance
- A modern, premium appearance with customizable finishes
HPL is widely used in:
- Athletic facilities (team, gym, and fitness lockers)
- Aquatic centers and pools (water-resistant storage)
- Ski resorts (gear lockers with drying systems)
- Schools and universities
- Outdoor recreational facilities
- Employee and industrial workplaces
Phenolic HPL is inherently water-resistant and non-porous, making it ideal for aquatic centers, ice rinks, and outdoor installations. It resists swelling, warping, and microbial growth.
Yes. With UV-protected phenolic laminates, HPL can withstand sun exposure and weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor lockers, cabinets, and rental storage.
HPL panels are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes. They can be paired with aluminum profiles, branded with logos, and configured in multiple sizes and layouts.
Foreman® uses HPL in:
- Signature Phenolic Lockers (with aluminum profiles for added strength)
- Traditional Solid Phenolic Lockers (mortise-and-tenon joinery)
- Hybrid Lockers (phenolic doors with P-Lam structures)
- Aquatic, ski, athletic, and outdoor locker lines
HPL surfaces are low-maintenance — they can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and they resist staining, fading, and surface damage.
Phenolic laminates are known for their long lifespan, which reduces replacement frequency and waste.
Compared to plastic laminate (P-Lam) or metal, HPL offers superior moisture resistance, impact durability, and design flexibility, though it may have a higher initial cost offset by longevity.
