Abstract
A laminate with improved substrate shape resemblance and moisture resistance may include a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers may be structured in various orders, or layups. Each layer of the plurality of layers may have a specific thickness, weight/areal density, and/or other features, such as orientation, relative to one or more of the other layers.
Claims17
A laminate for applying to a substrate surface, the laminate comprising:
- a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising:
- a first resin layer comprising a first resin, the first resin layer having a first resin layer thickness, wherein the first resin layer thickness is between about 3 mils and 11 mils;
- a natural fiber layer comprising a natural fiber material, the natural fiber layer having a natural fiber layer thickness between about 7 mils and 20 mils, wherein the natural fiber layer abuts the first resin layer;
- a second resin layer comprising a second resin, the second resin layer having a second resin layer thickness, wherein the second resin layer thickness is between about 1.5 mils and 5 mils, and wherein the second resin layer abuts the natural fiber layer;
- a first non-woven textile layer, wherein the first non-woven textile layer abuts the second resin layer;
- and
- a backing layer configured to allow for adhesion to a substrate, wherein the backing layer abuts the first non-woven textile layer;
- and
- wherein the first resin comprises a non-oriented thermoplastic resin,
- wherein the second resin comprises a biaxially oriented thermoplastic resin.

A laminate for applying to a substrate surface, the laminate comprising:
- a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising:
- a first resin layer comprising a bioplastic and first resin layer thickness, wherein the first resin layer thickness is between about 6 mils and 12 mils;
- a natural fiber layer comprising a natural fiber layer thickness, wherein the natural fiber layer abuts the first resin layer;
- and
- a second resin layer comprising a bioplastic and second resin layer thickness, wherein the second resin layer abuts the natural fiber layer, and wherein the second resin layer thickness is between about 1.5 mils and 5 mils;
- a backing layer comprising a backing layer thickness, wherein the backing layer is a dry layer to allow for adhesion to a substrate, and wherein the backing layer abuts the second resin layer;
- wherein the plurality of layers comprising the first resin layer, the natural fiber layer, the second resin layer, and the backing layer provide a substantially flat top surface.
