From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Consoweld or Consoweld Laminated Plastic is a melamine impregnated paper product that was produced by the Consolidated Papers, Inc. of Wisconsin Rapids. It was originally developed during WWII for use in aircraft.[1] In 1985, Consoweld was sold off to LOF Plastics.

Uses[edit]

Consoweld, in common with similar products had a wide variety of uses. It was used in aircraft construction, house building and electrical applications. The main use, however was as a worktop or to a lesser extent as a decorative finish for other domestic surfaces.

Consoweld advertisements often stressed commercial use, for example the Hoffman House Restaurant in Madison was subject of a 1967 advertisement.
