HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) is a dense, non-porous surface bonded under heat and pressure to the panel’s steel facing. It provides a smooth, chemical-resistant, easy-to-clean surface with no pores for bacteria or contaminants to collect – essential for GMP and ISO 14644 classified environments.

With proper joint sealing, flush installation and appropriate HVAC design, ARCOPAN HPL panels support ISO Class 5 to 8 cleanrooms under ISO 14644-1. The panel system itself does not determine classification alone – air filtration, pressure cascades and joint sealing all contribute to the final classification.

PIR offers better thermal performance (lambda=0.022) at lower thickness, suitable for most cleanroom applications. Rockwool A1 is recommended where fire regulations require non-combustible construction, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing buildings over certain heights or with specific insurance requirements.

ARCOPAN offers flush butt joints with silicone sealant, coved skirting at floor-wall junctions to eliminate dirt traps, and rounded internal corners. H-profile or snap-fit aluminium trims can also be used where a demountable system is preferred for maintenance access.

ARCOPAN provides material certificates, CE Declaration of Performance, HPL surface test data (cleanability, chemical resistance), and ISO 9001:2015 quality documentation to support customer validation protocols (IQ/OQ) for GMP facilities.
