The invention relates to a method for producing a covering layer for elastic laminate comprising a) impregnating a carrier fabric, b) applying a surface coating comprising a crosslinker and a prepolymer that can be crosslinked via reactive end groups, c) crosslinking the crosslinkable prepolymer, and d) drying the elastic laminate covering layer. The papers obtainable in this manner are suitable for producing a laminate that, with the elastic outer face thereof, has a pleasant and appealing feel underfoot and good haptics.

Polymeric materials and methods for making the polymeric materials utilizing bisphenolic stillbottoms, lignosulfonates, or both are disclosed. In one embodiment, a polymer is provided that includes a condensate of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an optional phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an aldehyde, and a lignosulfonate compound. The condensate may further include an amino compound, a catalyst, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, the polymer may be free of a phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms. The polymers may be used in the manufacture of articles including composites, laminates and paper products.
