Studies of the Cracking Behaviour of High-Pressure Laminates

The European standard EN 438-2 (2019) describes a method to assess the resistance to cracking of high-pressure laminate (HPL). In the EN 438-2 setup, the samples’ shrinkage at a temperature of 50 °C for 6 h is restrained by a metal clamp. The resulting tensile stress may lead to the cracking of the...
