Laminate is a term used to describe the act of adding a layer of material over another base material for the purpose of protecting - or possibly enhancing the appearance of - the surface of the base material.

Depending on the purpose of the product, the protective layer may be fabricated from various composite materials (which may be referred to as laminates).

Common laminate products include kitchen surfacing materials, flooring, doors, beams, glass and so on.

Types of laminate processes include:

* Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). As a dual laminate, ETFE can be bonded with FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic or fibre-reinforced polymer) as a thermoplastic liner. This is then installed in pipes, tanks, and ships for additional corrosion protection.
* Continuous Pressure Laminate (CPL). As a surfacing product, CPL is a combination of sheets of paper or fibres and layers of resin that are compressed at high temperatures for a relatively short period of time.
* High Pressure Laminate (HPL). HPL is similar to CPL, except that it compressed at high temperatures for extended periods of time.
* Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL). TFL is a decorative surfacing product sometimes referred to as melamine or low pressure laminate.
* Fibre Reinforced Laminate (FRL). FRL is a specific type of wall and door surfacing product.
* Glass reinforced plastic GRP. GRP is a composite, laminate material that consists of glass fibres used to reinforce a plastic, typically a polyester resin. It is also referred to as glass reinforced polyester, fibreglass, glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP), fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP).
