What this industry manufactures
Decorative panel lamination produces laminate-faced wall panels, partition panels and architectural cladding boards used in office, retail and hospitality interior fit-out, where a durable, decorative surface finish is needed across large panel areas.
Why Lamination Resin (LR Resin) is suitable
Lamination Resin (LR Resin)'s fast 5-minute gel time supports efficient bonding across production runs of multiple panels, and its strong adhesion to decorative laminate sheets holds up under the wear interior panels see in commercial fit-out. For structural panel fabrication using glass fibre reinforcement rather than decorative sheet bonding, GP Clear Resin is the more suitable choice, as covered on our FRP panel manufacturing page.
Required resin characteristics
- 01Fast gel time to keep panel-facing production efficient across large runs
- 02Strong, durable adhesion to decorative laminate sheets
- 03A clean, consistent cure across wide panel surfaces
- 04Room-temperature or press-assisted cure depending on production scale
- 05Reliable batch-to-batch bonding quality
Manufacturing process
Resin catalysed with an MEKP hardener and cobalt octoate accelerator is applied to the panel substrate, the decorative laminate sheet is positioned on top, and the assembly is pressed until the resin cures and bonds the sheet to the panel. Panels are then trimmed to size for installation.
Advantages
- 5-minute gel time supports efficient bonding across large panel production runs
- Strong adhesion to decorative laminate sheets suited to commercial interior wear
- Consistent cure quality across wide panel surfaces
Common products produced
- Laminate-faced wall panels
- Partition panels
- Architectural cladding boards
Frequently asked questions
No — it's used to bond a decorative laminate sheet onto an already-manufactured panel substrate, not to produce the board material itself.
Wall panels, partition panels and architectural cladding boards used in interior fit-out, where a decorative laminate face is bonded onto a plain substrate.
With an MEKP catalyst (around 1.5%) and a cobalt octoate accelerator (around 0.4%), cured at room temperature or under a press.
LR Resin is for bonding a decorative laminate face onto a panel substrate. If you're building the structural FRP panel itself with glass fibre reinforcement, GP Clear Resin is the more suitable choice.
Yes, it's formulated to cure consistently across panel-facing production runs, supporting even bonding across wide surfaces.
