The disclosure describes a process for making a décor paper from a dispersion with improved optical performance by (a) combining a treated TiO.sub.2 particle having a surface area of at least about 30 m.sup.2/g with water and a cationic polymer to form a TiO.sub.2 particle slurry; wherein the treated TiO.sub.2 particle comprises an oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon, aluminum, phosphorus and mixtures thereof; and the oxide is present in the amount of at least 15% based on the total weight of the treated titanium dioxide particle; (b) combining the TiO.sub.2 particle slurry of step (a) with paper pulp and a cationic polymer. The dispersion provides equal optical performance using less TiO.sub.2 when compared to the same dispersion not comprising the TiO.sub.2 particle slurry of (a). These décor papers are useful in preparing paper laminates.

A laminate lay-up includes a coated decorative paper layer having a decorative paper layer with a textured coating layer applied thereto. The textured coating layer is comprised of a UV curable coating composition. The laminate lay-up also includes a decorative layer and a core layer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a transfer paper which allows smooth removal of a printed transfer paper from a design-printed fabric before steaming; and is unlikely to cause problems such as partial missing, color unevenness, color-development deterioration, etc. of the design on the fabric. Provided is a transfer paper having a substrate and one or more coating layers, the substrate having a base paper and one or more nonaqueous resin layers on one side of the base paper, the one or more coating layers being located on the one or more nonaqueous resin layers, the coating layer located outermost from the substrate, that is, the outermost coating layer, at least comprising a water-soluble polyester resin, a carboxylic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol resin, an acrylic resin, a starch, and a white pigment, the acrylic resin having a glass transition point (Tg) of 0° C. to 45° C. and a minimum film forming temperature (MFT) of 0° C. to 50° C.

This invention refers to a manufacturing process for a high-performance resin-saturated decorative foil, designed for surface lining, both outdoors and indoors. The decorative foil can be used as a decorative lining for HPL-High-Pressure Laminate-panels and CPL-Continuous-Pressure Laminate-panels, as well as to be adhered to any flat or curved 2D surface.

The present invention relates in particular to a method and a device for a spatially resolved production of a location dependent textured coating. The method includes the steps of provisioning a two-dimensional representation, evaluating a data record of the two-dimensional representation, determining local structures of the two-dimensional representation, determining the type and location of at least one texture that is produced on at least one region of the two-dimensional representation, provisioning a fluid coating material, and applying the fluid coating material to at least one region of the two-dimensional representation.

Provided are a decoration sheet and a method for producing same. The decoration sheet sequentially includes a thermosetting resin layer, a deposition layer, and a base layer. The thermosetting resin layer has a micropattern on a surface thereof, and the elongation rate of the sheet is 200% to 300%. The method includes forming a photocurable imprint film having a first pattern on a first surface thereof, forming a thermosetting resin layer having a second pattern, which has a reverse phase to the first pattern, on a first surface thereof, forming a deposition layer on a second surface of the thermosetting resin layer, forming a substrate layer on one surface of the deposition layer, and releasing the photocurable imprint film from the thermosetting resin layer.

A base paper (6), a picture pattern layer (7) provided on a surface (6a) side of the base paper (6), and foaming agents (8) arranged on a surface (7a) of the picture pattern layer (7) or in the picture pattern layer (7) are provided. In the foaming agents (8), the average particle diameter after foaming is set to 15 μm or more and 250 μm or less and the foaming start temperature is set to 100° C. or more and 220° C. or less.

A decorative laminate is manufactured in accordance with the method comprising preparing a decorative layer composed of a resin impregnated decorative sheet and preparing a core layer including an upper core sheet and a lowermost core sheet. The upper core sheet is prepared by impregnating a first paper with a resin. The lowermost core sheet is prepared by treating a second paper with sodium alginate to produce a sodium alginate treated paper and then impregnating the sodium alginate treated paper with resin. The decorative layer and the core layer are stacked. The decorative layer and the core layer are consolidated under heat and pressure to form the decorative laminate.
