A method for manufacturing a laminate assembly may involve providing a decorative paper, impregnating the decorative paper with a first thermosetting resin, and laminating the resin provided decorative paper on a substrate. The decorative paper may be impregnated with a second thermosetting resin before being laminated.

A method to produce a panel unit, including providing a core having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, applying a surface layer to the first surface of the core, the surface layer including a wood veneer layer and a first binder layer for adhering the wood veneer layer to the first surface of the core, applying a balancing layer to a second surface of the core, the balancing layer including an unimpregnated paper and a second binder layer for adhering the unimpregnated paper to the second surface of the core, applying pressure to the surface layer, the balancing layer, and the core to form a panel unit. The disclosure also relates to a panel.

A method for producing a veneered board having a veneer and a carrier board having improved use properties includes the steps of providing a veneer and a carrier board, providing a sheet of paper impregnated with binder, the sheet of paper being arranged in a stack of materials to be pressed between an upper face of the carrier board and a lower face of the veneer, and pressing the stack of materials to be pressed. The sheet of paper is impregnated with a binder, the sheet of paper impregnated with binder is pre-dried so that it is still sticky, at least one additive is applied onto the pre-dried, still sticky binder, and the sheet of paper which is impregnated with binder and provided with an additive is dried to a residual moisture content of up to 8%.

A method to produce a panel. The method includes providing a core having a first surface, providing a surface layer including a substantially uncured amino resin, applying an hydrolysable adhesive on the first surface of the core and/or on a surface of the surface layer adapted to face the core, arranging the surface layer on the first surface of the core, pressing the surface layer to the core to form a panel by applying heat and pressure in a press, thereby adhering the surface layer to the core by the hydrolysable adhesive and curing the amino resin of the surface layer. Also such a panel.

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.

Provided is a melamine decorative board having a milky-white core layer and less warpage. When the melamine decorative board is bonded onto a base plate such as a plywood, a particle board, and a steel board, a color tone of the base plate does not appear through to a decorative layer. Stacked and thermal-pressure-formed are: a resin-impregnated patterned paper as the decorative layer; multiple sheets of a resin-impregnated core paper, as the core layer, produced by impregnating a whitish fibrous base material with a resin liquid including: a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde, and a divalent polyalkylene glycol or a derivative thereof, or a tri- or more valent polyalkylene glycol polyvalent ether, and drying the whitish fibrous base material; and a resin-impregnated backside paper, as a backside layer, produced by impregnating a fibrous base material with a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde and drying the fibrous base material.

The present invention relates to the use of an abrasion-resistant surface material for the coating of melamine resin laminates and to a laminate comprising the surface material used in accordance with the invention, and to a method for producing the laminate.

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.

The present invention provides a decorative material having a stereoscopic visual effect and a better feel. A decorative material comprising at least a base material, comprising a first region and a second region within a plane of the decorative material when seen in planar view, wherein the first region includes a peelable ink decoration layer disposed on the base material and a first recess formed immediately above the peelable ink decoration layer, and the second region includes a second recess deeper than the first recess.

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.
