A paper based overlay is provided. The overlay has a paper impregnated with a resin composition having an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature in a range of from about ?20? C. to about 40? C. and a resin content from about 15 to about 35 wt. % based on the weight of the overlay. The acrylic composition may include wax in the amount of about 0.005 to about 3.5 wt. % based on the weight of the resin composition. A method of producing the overlay is also provided. The overlay is highly water and abrasion resistant with low volatile content.

A method to form a protective overlay with wear resistant particles applied in well-defined patterns by applying wear resistant particles on a surface, bonding a part of the wear resistant particles with a binder preferably applied with a digital drop application head and removing the non-bonded wear resistant particles from the surface.

The present invention relates to a dispersion for manufacturing of resin-impregnated papers, as can be used for the manufacturing of abrasion-resistant (micro scratch-resistant) surfaces, such as laminate floors, furniture surfaces or laminates (CPL, HPL). The invention relates also to a corresponding method for manufacturing of such surfaces as well as to corresponding manufactured products. Thereby, the dispersion contains for example (in weight percent) 30 to 75% water and 10 to 65% corundum particles with a particle size of F400 to F2000 as well as further additives in small quantity. This dispersion can be introduced into a liquid amino resin mixture to impregnate paper.
