Process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the fibres provide an average length of at least 0.5 mm, preferably a length of at least 2 mm.

Process according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the fibres are applied in the form of a fleece.

Process according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the decorating paper is finally dried in a drier at a temperature above 100° C.

Process for the manufacture of a board, especially a panel for flooring, comprising the following steps:

• pressing a layer system in a pressing device, especially in a double belt laminating press, wherein the layer system comprises at least one decorating paper, manufactured according to any one of the preceding claims.

Process according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the diameter of fibres and/or spherules is 30 to 200 μm, wherein preferably the average diameter of the spherules is greater than the average diameter of the fibres.

Process according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the impregnated decorating paper is manufactured in such a manner that it provides a solid mass of 30 to 300 g/m2.

Process according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the proportion of fibres in the decorating paper is 5 to 100 g/m2.
