Composite Laminates for Protection that Lasts

Protecting décor and aesthetics, overlay papers are used as a protective layer in household and commercial flooring, kitchen countertops, bars, and décor panels.

Pure and highly uniform cellulose papers made from clean bleached pulp, Glatfelter’s composite laminates are engineered to be strong and very absorbent to withstand different levels of wear abrasion. Available clear or tinted, our papers form a film for the embedded melamine resin in the fiber structure. This enhances the appearance of printed décor papers while improving the abrasive resistance and durability.

Why Choose Glatfelter Composite Laminates?

Excellent wet strength for good runnability.
Controlled porosity/absorbency for high wear resistance, clarity, and resin penetration in X,Y,Z directions.
pH-value/disc-cure for hardening (curing) of the press resin/post-forming.
Controlled levels of wear resistance depending on aluminum oxide content proportion and carrier absorption capability.
Highly uniform sheet formation for clear or ultra-clear papers with excellent clarity.
Manufactured in grades between 22 and 70 g/m2 and are available with a machine finish or matte glazed surface.
