The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminate having a backing sheet and a decorative paper arranged on the backing sheet, including the steps of: a) providing the backing sheet, b) scattering at least one layer of at least one powdered resin onto at least one side of the backing sheet, the surface of the side of the backing sheet that is to be scattered with the powdered resin being unsmoothed, c) placing at least one decorative paper onto the side of the backing sheet that is provided with the powdered resin, and d) pressing the layered structure including the backing sheet, the powdered resin and the decorative paper. The present invention likewise relates to a laminate that can be produced by this method.

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.

The present invention is directed to a gypsum panel with an enhanced gypsum core to facing material bond and a method of making such gypsum panel. In one embodiment, the gypsum panel comprises a gypsum core, a first facing material, and a second facing material. The first facing material and/or the second facing material having a nucleating composition applied to a surface thereof. The methods of the present invention are directed to making the aforementioned gypsum panels by providing the first facing material, providing a gypsum slurry onto the first facing material, providing a second facing material on the gypsum slurry, and providing a nucleating composition on the first facing material before depositing the gypsum slurry onto the first facing material, on the gypsum slurry before providing the second facing material on the gypsum slurry, on the second facing material before providing the second facing material on the gypsum slurry, or a combination thereof.

A method for forming of a building panel with a surface including a thermosetting resin such that tension created during curing of the surface is reduced or eliminated. Method for producing a panel with a wood based core and a surface layer including a thermosetting resin wherein the method including: curing and connecting the surface layer to the core while applying heat and pressure in a first main pressing step, thus raising a temperature of the surface layer above an initial temperature; applying a bending force on the panel after the first main pressing step to bend the panel such that an uppermost surface of the panel is convex an a lowermost surface of the panel is concave while the panel is still above the initial temperature; and releasing the bending force such that the panel springs back to an essentially flat shape.

A floor panel has a core, a print and a wear resistant layer. The core is assembled at least from a plurality of paper sheets, or other carrier sheets, impregnated with a thermosetting resin.

A flexible packaging material including: a core portion having a geometrically patterned structure defining two spaced-apart substantially planar faces and providing air space therebetween, the core portion including cellulosic fiber-based walls having a core grammage; and at least one cellulosic fiber-based liner bonded to a respective one of the planar faces of the core portion and having a liner grammage lower than the core grammage, the material being flexible along a plane defined by the at least one liner.

The present invention relates to novel films for application on materials as protective film in respect of weathering effects. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel film composite which has at least three layers and which features particularly good adhesion on the substrate and particularly good optical properties. The outermost layer here is a layer comprising a fluoropolymer, the middle layer is a PMMA layer comprising at least one UV absorber and/or UV stabilizer, and the innermost layer is a PMMA layer comprising at least one adhesion promoter which improves adhesion on the substrate.

A floor panel has a core, a print and a wear resistant layer. The core is assembled at least from a plurality of paper sheets, or other carrier sheets, impregnated with a thermosetting resin.

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 flexible cellulosic fiber-based material including: a core portion having a geometrically patterned structure defining two spaced-apart substantially planar faces and providing air space therebetween, the core portion including cellulosic fiber-based walls having a core grammage; and at least one cellulosic fiber-based liner bonded to a respective one of the planar faces of the core portion and having a liner grammage lower than the core grammage, the material being flexible along a plane defined by the at least one liner.
