Laminate Toilet Partitions

What is plastic laminate?

HPL (high pressure laminate) partitions are made from a particle board core covered by a decorative surface protected by a protective melamine overlay. 

We carry plastic laminate toilet partitions featuring wear-resistant engineered surfaces manufactured by trusted industry names like Wilsonart and Formica. 

What is plastic laminate made of?

Laminated plastics consist of polymer-matrix composites. Consisting of layers of reinforcing materials that have been impregnated with thermosetting resins, bonded together, and cured under heat and pressure.

Laminated plastics are made by impregnating a special form of decorative kraft paper with thermosetting resins (usually melamine or phenolic resin) and polymerized under heat and pressure, forming a polymer-matrix composite. “High pressure” refers to the pressure introduced during the production process. These pressure levels typically reach 1,200 to 2,000 psi. 

How to cut plastic laminate

Plastic laminate can be cut to size if necessary. 

In order to get a nice clean edge, you’ll want to follow the following steps:

1. Double check your measurements and draw a cut line.
2. Lightly score the line with a utility knife.
3. Use a table saw to carefully cut ¼” or less of the material. This cuts all the way through the laminate itself but doesn’t completely cut through the particle board core. The reason for starting with a partial cut is to cleanly cut the laminate without chipping.
