As indicated by its name, this stainless steel press plate is especially developed for the production of high pressure laminate. As we know, HPL possesses good resistance to wear, heat, fire, moisture, scratching and color fading, and it is also easy to clean. So, corresponding press moulds must provide novel patterns and strong decorative effects, and that is exactly what we can offer after 14 years of effort in production and technical innovation.
Our stainless steel press plate is highly appreciated by worldwide customers, and that is a result of its unrivalled advantages as illustrated below.
1. High-Quality Raw Material
In the year of 2009, 633 stainless steel was successfully used in our textured press plate. This material boasts long service life and good scratching resistance, and its hardness grade is HRC38-42 which is one time higher than that of 304 stainless steel.

2. Diversified Textures
Owning to our innovative spirit, the stainless steel press plate is available with over 1000 kinds of textures, and our design technicians would develop new patterns to keep pace with fashion trends every year.
At the beginning, our HPL press plates provided only matt or high-gloss finish, and then some basic geometric patterns were offered. Now, many true-to-life textures are available, like wood grain, stone effect, etc.
As a China-based HPL press plate manufacturer, HUAMEI also produces MFC press plate, flooring press plate and door mould to suit various customer needs. With the advantage of superior quality and reliability, these products are in increasing demand in France, Germany, Finland and other countries.
