ALFA® FAQs

  • ALFA® is a high-pressure compact panel (HPL). The highest quality, eco-friendly ceramic ore mineral powder is used for semi-nonflammable performance.

    Core: A combination of thermosetting resin and kraft paper.

    Outer Layer: Made of thermosetting resin in various colors and inorganic fiber laminated boards, stacked with a 0.6 mm UV layer, then compressed and molded for 90 minutes at high-pressure and high-temperature to a single sheet.

  • ALFA® Manufacturing Process:

    1. Resin Impregnation: The decorative paper sheets are immersed or dipped into thermosetting resin to impregnate them.

    2. Drying/Curing: The melamine resin is dried or cured using heat or a curing agent, converting it into a solid state.

    3. Layer Assembly: Multiple resin-impregnated paper sheets are stacked along with a core layer (kraft paper), to form a laminate stack.

    4. High-Pressure and High-Temperature Application: The laminate stack is subjected to high pressure and temperature in a press, which cures the resin and bonds the layers together.

    5. Trimming: The laminated sheets are cut and trimmed to the desired size and shape.

    6. Surface Treatment: The ALFA sheets undergo sanding, polishing, or other surface treatments to achieve the desired texture and finish.

    7. Film: A layer of UV Film is added on each side to ensure longevity and color stability.

    8. Quality Inspection: The finished panels are inspected for quality, ensuring they meet the required standards.

    9. Packaging and Dispatch: The panels are carefully packaged and prepared for shipment.
