HPCL, or High–Pressure Compact Laminate, is versatile and extremely functional material used on outdoor tables. Considered to be one of the most durable decorative surface materials, HPCL is resistant to wear, weather, and a variety of chemicals, making it perfect for Outdoor and Contract use. Made by fusing layers of post–consumer recycyled kraft paper with resin, applying extreme pressure and temperature brings the material into a new form, one that is hard, extremely durable and practical.
