Compact Laminate
Arpa Compact Laminate is comprised of reinforced wood fibres and thermosetting resins which
when manufactured under very high pressure and heat produce a homogenous, non porous
and extremely strong material. The surface of compact laminate is achieved through a decorative
paper impregnated with melamine which gives it an extremely high wear and scratch resistant
property.
Because of it’s particular material makeup and mechanical properties, Compact Laminate
has the following attributes:
Impact Resistant - because of it’s solid core and hard surface, this material is a good
choice for surfacing, wall cladding and case work that needs to be durable.
Scratch resistant - the melamine surface provides excellent scratch resistance even in
heavy duty use and high traffic areas.
Wear resisant - this surface is durable and long lasting: ideal even when frequent clean-
ing is required.
Non-porous - since Compact Laminate has a sealed non- porous surface, it is hygenic,
chemically resistant and not affected by moisture.
Structural Strength - Due to it’s high flexural rigidness, Arpa’s Compact Laminate is highly
suited for self supporting applications.
Architectural Interior Panels and Fastening Systems
Sheet Size - Panels are custom fabricated to meet the design needs of each
project’s requirements. Maximum size 51” x 120“
Thickness - 8 mm (.31”)
Finish (Surface Texture) - Standard Finishes - matte (erre), gloss, and pesca.
Fire Rating
Class B - Availability dependant upon local code requirements.
Pattern availability - Most of Arpa’s thin laminate patterns are available. Check the
“Wall Panel” sample chain, “Wall Panel” patterns selection sheet,
or contact your local Arpa sales representative for information.
Arpa has been manufacturing high pressure laminates for over 50 years and is recognized as a design innovator. With distribution and

Visable Mechanical Fastening
* ARPA (BG) panels can be mounted using screws or rivets on an aluminium substructure, or with screws on a wood framework. An aluminium
substructure consists of vertical support profiles which are secured to the wall using angle brackets. A wooden substructure consists of
slats fitted to durable studs secured to the wall. Due to the material properties of ARPA (BG) , fixed points and sliding points need to
be made to mount the panels (Fig. 15 and Fig. 16).
Fixed point
Fixed points are used for uniform distribution (halving) of the Fixed point Sliding point Space from edge
expansion and shrinkage movements. The diameter of the drill
hole in ARPA (BG) is the same size as the diameter of the
fastening.
≥ (5/16”)
Edge spacings
For reasons of stability and flatness, the edge spacings must be
kept to without fail. The joints must be made at least 8 mm (5/16”)
wide so that changes in size can take place without hindrance.
