Plastic laminate is a durable, synthetic material made by layering sheets of paper or fabric with a plastic resin. It is commonly used for surfaces like countertops, cabinets, and furniture due to its resistance to scratches, stains, and moisture. The manufacturing process involves applying heat and pressure to bond the layers together, creating a strong and versatile surface. Available in various colors and patterns, plastic laminate can mimic the appearance of wood, stone, or other materials, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
