The invention relates to a device for applying a coating material, which consists of a liquid resin and a fine-particled abrasive material, to a continuously impregnated paper web which is used in the production of abrasion-resistant laminates. Said device comprises a deflection roller whereon the paper web is arranged in the contact area, a dosing roller which is arranged in a parallel manner on the deflection roller, a narrow gap which encompasses said two rollers, and an application unit. Known application units comprise slot nozzles through which the treatment material is injected into the paper web. The problem thereof is that a complete cross-linking of the paper web is difficult to obtain and the treatment material is injected, in excess into the paper web. The aim of the invention is to overcome said problems. According to the invention, the application unit comprises a defining element which is arranged in the running direction of the web upstream from the gap, and enables a gore to be formed between the deflection roller and the defining element in order to receive the coating material. The invention also relates to the impregnation of paper for producing highly abrasion-resistant laminate.
An apparatus for applying a coating material composed of liquid resin and abrasive material to a continuous pre-impregnated paper web that is intended for use in the manufacture of abrasion-resistant laminates, comprising a deflection roller against which the paper web rests in a contact region, a dosing roller that is positioned parallel to the deflection roller and that a together with the deflection roller defines a narrow gap, and an applicator wherein the applicator contains a limiting element, provided upstream from the gap in the direction of travel of the web, which forms a V-shaped trough between the deflection roller and the limiting element for receiving the coating material.
