A carrier material has a resin layer arranged on a side of the carrier material. The resin layer includes a formaldehyde resin, a polymer selected from a group containing polyacrylates, polyepoxides, polyesters, polyurethanes, and long-chain silanols, and at least one silane-containing compound of general formula (I), R.sub.a SiX.sub.(4-a), and/or the hydrolysis product thereof, where X is H, OH, or a hydrolyzable residue selected from the group comprising halogen, alkoxy, carboxy, amino, monoalkylamino or dialkylamino, aryloxy, acyloxy, alkylcarbonyl; R is a non-hydrolyzable organic residue R selected from the group comprising alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, substituted and unsubstituted alkynyl, cycloalkyl, which can be interrupted by O or NH; and where R can have a functional group Q selected from a group containing a hydroxy, ether, amino, monoalkylamino, dialkylamino, anilino, amide, carboxy, mercapto, alkoxy, aldehyde, alkylcarbonyl, epoxide, alkenyl, alkynyl, acryl, acryloxy, methacryl, methacryloxy, cyano, and isocyano group, and a is 0-3.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive film which is a pressure-sensitive adhesive film comprising a thermoplastic resin, wherein a maximum peak temperature of tan ? is 0? C. or more and 52? C. or less, a shear storage elastic modulus at 20? C. is 3?10.sup.5 Pa or more, and a proportion of an undissolved component in dissolution of 1.0 g of the pressure-sensitive adhesive film in 10 g of isopropyl alcohol is 35% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less.

A method of manufacturing a decorative surface laminate incorporates a sheet of cellulose-based inclusion paper. The inclusion paper includes a print surface having a porosity greater than 1.25% and a decorative ink finish digitally printed directly onto the print surface of the inclusion paper. Multiple sheets of backing paper are stacked with the inclusion paper, such that the backing paper resides adjacent the inclusion paper on a side opposite the print surface. The inclusion paper and backing paper are impregnated with a thermosetting resin. Using heat and pressure, the impregnated sheets of inclusion paper and backing paper are combined to form a flexible high-density laminate panel.

A flame resistant laminate is described, which distinguishes itself by its low heating value 3 MJ/kg according to ISO 1716 and thanks to its special multilayer structure has excellent mechanical characteristics and an extraordinarily good stability under changing climatic conditions (hot/humid/cold/dry). The laminate according to the invention comprises several mineral and glass fiber non-woven fabrics with different functionalities and components. This includes high-filled non-woven fabrics, B-stage binders and other additives. Its great mechanical strength as well as the extraordinarily good stability under changing climatic conditions (hot/humid/cold/dry) allow its reasonable use in many areas where until now exclusively laminates according to EN 438 are used and beyond.

A flooring assembly (100) for a compartment floor includes a panel (104) made up of a first skin (126), a second skin (128) positioned below the first skin, and a core (120) encapsulated within the panel between the first and second skins and peripheral closeouts (124). A heat dissipation layer (116) is provided in the flooring assembly at or above the first skin.
