In a decorative material, a matting agent is added to, of a first gloss-adjusting layer and a second gloss-adjusting layer, one with lower gloss, where the matting agent has a particle diameter of less than 1.0 times the thickness of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss. The matting agent can be thereby exposed to the surface while floating in the gloss-adjusting layer. Accordingly, a sufficient matting effect can be obtained in front observation, and unevenness imparted to the surface can be reduced; thus, the effect of scattering obliquely entering light is weakened, and the matting effect can be reduced when observed obliquely. Therefore, a picture pattern expressed by the difference in gloss, i.e., a design, can be made invisible when observed obliquely.

The invention relates to a titanium dioxide particle with high opacity and UV-greying resistance comprising two silica coats and at least one alumina coat, to a method for the obtaining the same, and to the use of said particle in a method for obtaining a decorative paper laminate or a dcor foil. The present invention further pertains a decorative paper laminate or a dcor foil containing said coated titanium dioxide particle.

An apparatus for forming blanks from fibrous material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a die having a porous body with a plurality of perforations extending there through, the plurality of perforations having varying sizes and being layered from a top surface to a bottom surface of the porous body. A smooth molding surface is provided on the top surface to hold the fibrous material and allow water to drain from the fibrous material through the plurality of perforations.

A decorative sheet includes a substrate and a surface protective layer formed on the substrate. A decorative plate is formed by laminating the decorative sheet on a base. The surface protective layer includes a first surface protective layer formed on the substrate and a second surface protective layer formed on part of the first surface protective layer. The first surface protective layer contains a curable resin and has a surface kinetic friction coefficient of 0.11 or more and 0.30 or less. The second surface protective layer contains at least one of resin beads and an inorganic compound filler. The first surface protective layer is glossier than the second surface protective layer.

The present invention relates to a method for applying a wallpaper material onto a surface comprising the steps of providing a liquid suspension comprising cellulosic fibers wherein at least part of said cellulosic fibers comprises microfibrillated cellulose and wherein said liquid suspension has a dry content of at least 10% by weight, applying at least one layer of said liquid suspension onto the surface, drying said liquid suspension layer after it has been applied onto the surface, and thereby forming a dry fiber web layer, wherein said fiber web layer forms said wallpaper material.
