Argolite HPL 0.9 mm is a decorative high-pressure laminate designed for bonding to a suitable substrate. Available in a range of colours, surface finishes, and core colours, the laminate is suitable for interior applications including furniture, cabinetry, door leaves, and wall surfaces. The panels are sanded on one side for bonding, with postforming and fire-retardant variants also available.

The laminate is designed for durability and long service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and associated material use and waste. Argolite states that wood-based raw materials used in products certified for Minergie-Eco comply with FSC or PEFC requirements, and HPL 0.9 mm carries Minergie-Eco certification.

Environmental impacts are documented through an ISO 14025 Type III EPD; Argolite participates in the European industry-average HPL declaration produced through the ICDLI. The manufacturer has also introduced measures including photovoltaic power, pellet heating, and reduced production offcuts to lower energy and resource use at its manufacturing facility.
