Abstract
A method for manufacturing rectangular panels, wherein the panels have a substrate and a top layer. The panels are provided with a first pair of opposite edges, namely a first edge, and an opposite second edge. The method includes the steps of applying a liquid on at least a part of the first edge. The liquid penetrates the respective edge to a certain depth. The method further includes applying varnish on at least a part of the first edge while the liquid on the first edge is still wet.
Claims24
A method for manufacturing panels, wherein said panels are rectangular, either square or oblong,
- wherein the panels comprise a substrate and a decorative top layer,
- wherein the substrate comprises a wood fibre board and wherein the decorative top layer comprises a print,
- wherein the panels are provided with a first pair of opposite edges, namely a first edge and an opposite second edge, and a second pair of opposite edges, namely a third edge and a fourth edge, wherein one or more or all of the first edge, the second edge, the third edge and the fourth edge comprise a lowered edge region in a form of a chamfer,
- wherein the method comprises a step of applying a liquid on at least a part of the first edge and/or second edge, said part including said lowered edge,
- wherein the liquid comprises one or more of an acrylate, a methacrylate, a fluorinated acrylate, a fluorinated methacrylate, a fluorinated acrylate copolymer, an alkyd, an epoxy resin, a fluorinated epoxy resin, a styrene acrylate, a urethane acrylate, an alkyd modified with polyurethane, an alkyd modified with fluorine, a styrene butadiene copolymer or a polysiloxane.
