Abstract
A laminate for application onto a support material having a resin-impregnated decorative layer and at least one resin-impregnated core layer. The decorative layer and the at least one core layer are adapted for being pressed together under high pressure and heat. A technical problem of improving a laminate for application onto the support material is solved in that the decorative layer and the at least one core layer can be compressed by a short-cycle press and have a width of more than 1800 mm. A method for producing the laminate is also provided.
Claims8
A laminate for application on a support material, the laminate comprising:
- a resin-impregnated decorative layer;
- and
- at least one resin-impregnated core layer,
- wherein the decorative layer and the at least one core layer are adapted to be pressed together under high pressure and heat by a multi piston short-cycle press,
- wherein
- a thickness of a stack of the decorative layer and the at least one core layer after pressing is less than 2 mm, wherein
- the decorative layer and the at least one core layer has a width of more than 1,800 mm,
- wherein a top surface of a bottom layer is arranged directly on one of the at least one core layers opposite to the decorative layer, and a bottom surface of the bottom layer is provided with an embossed structure configured to be pressed on the support material, wherein the embossed structure comprises a grinding groove, and
- wherein when a drop of tap water at room temperature having a maximum diameter of 15 mm is provided on the embossed structure, the drop of tap water forms a contact angle greater than 40° with the bottom layer having the embossed structure.
A method for producing a laminate, the method comprising:
- arranging a resin-impregnated decorative layer and at least one resin-impregnated core layer in layers on top of one another;
- and
- pressing the decorative layer and the at least one core layer together under high pressure and heat by a single-level multi piston short-cycle press,
- wherein
- a thickness of a stack of the decorative layer and the at least one core layer after pressing is less than 2 mm,
- wherein the decorative layer and the at least one core layer have a width of more than 1,800 mm, wherein a top surface of a bottom layer is arranged directly on one of the at least one core layers opposite to the decorative layer, and a bottom surface of the bottom layer is provided with an embossed structure configured to be pressed on the support material, wherein the embossed structure comprises a grinding groove, and
- wherein when a drop of tap water at room temperature having a maximum diameter of 15 mm is provided on the embossed structure, the drop of tap water forms a contact angle greater than 40° with the bottom layer having the embossed surface.
