Manhattan Finish HPL For Countertops and High-Wear Vertical Surfaces
The SM'art High Pressure Laminate in Chrysler (SMM021) is a separately manufactured laminate sheet designed to be bonded to a substrate by the fabricator. At 60 inches by 120 inches and 0.9 mm thick, it is sized to cover a full countertop or a tall vertical run in a single piece, carrying the Manhattan finish and Chrysler color across surfaces a decorative panel cannot reach on its own.
Key Features
- SM'art collection color Chrysler (SMM021) delivers a consistent, coordinated color across every horizontal and vertical surface in the project.
- 60 inch by 120 inch sheet size spans a standard countertop depth or a full-height cladding run without a seam.
- 0.9 mm thickness is the standard HPL gauge for post-forming and flat lamination work.
- Manhattan finish gives the sheet its surface texture and sheen character, matching the emboss family of the SM'art panel program.
- High pressure laminate construction produces a surface harder and more wear-resistant than a thermally fused face, suited to countertops and high-contact vertical surfaces.
Where This Sheet Fits the Job
HPL earns its place wherever a thermally fused panel face is not enough. Countertops, reception desktops, and high-contact display surfaces take daily abrasion and point loading that a TFL face was not built for. The SM'art HPL in Chrysler lets a cabinet shop or millworker carry the same color from the carcass panels onto the top and any accent vertical without a visible color break. At 60 inches wide the sheet covers a standard 25-inch-deep countertop with room to wrap the front edge, and at 120 inches long it handles a typical kitchen run in a single sheet. This sheet is also the right call for a shop that needs to match SM'art panel work on a field repair or a component that was not built at the original panel size.
Construction and Surface Character
High pressure laminate is manufactured as its own sheet, independent of any substrate. Kraft paper layers and a decorative surface paper are consolidated under high pressure into a rigid, dense sheet the fabricator then bonds to the carrier of their choice. That process produces a surface with meaningfully better scratch, abrasion, and impact resistance than a thermally fused face. The Manhattan finish on this sheet is the same texture family carried by the SM'art decorative panel program, so the touch and sheen read consistently when the two surfaces meet at an edge or a joint. The Chrysler color and part number SMM021 are the matching identifiers to call against the SM'art panel program when ordering for a coordinated install.
Who Reaches for This Sheet
Cabinet shops building SM'art carcasses reach for this sheet when the job includes a laminate-faced top. Millworkers specify it on commercial and hospitality counters where the color program is already locked to the SM'art collection. Designers specifying a full room in a single color family use it to close the gap between the panel program and the surfaces that demand a harder face. It is equally useful for one-off repairs on an existing SM'art installation, where reordering a full panel would be wasteful but color continuity still matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SM'art HPL come in any other sheet size?
SM'art HPL is available in the 60 inch by 120 inch size only. If a wider sheet is needed, the Saviola HPL program is stocked in both 60 inch by 120 inch and 73 inch by 120 inch.
Is matching ABS edgebanding available for Chrysler?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding exists for SM'art colors, including Chrysler. Confirm the width and roll length needed when ordering.
Can this sheet be post-formed?
At 0.9 mm, this sheet is the standard gauge used for post-forming. Confirm your radius and press setup against the sheet's actual flexibility before committing a large run.
Is this sheet CARB2 compliant?
CARB2 is a core compliance claim and applies to the substrate the HPL is bonded to, not to the laminate sheet itself. Specify a CARB2 compliant substrate and the finished assembly meets the requirement.
One Color, Every Surface
The SM'art HPL in Chrysler closes the gap between a panel-built carcass and the harder surfaces a project demands, keeping a single color running through the whole job without a finish break.
