Claims23
A heat and pressure consolidated laminate, comprising in superimposed relationship:
- a core layer containing at least one cellulosic sheet impregnated with a thermosetting resin;
- a first decorative layer consisting essentially of leather;
- and
- a bond formed from the thermosetting resin, which bond consolidates the layers together within the laminate.
A heat and pressure consolidated laminate, comprising in superimposed relationship:
- a core layer containing at least one cellulosic sheet impregnated with a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin, said cellulosic sheet having a resin content ranging from about 25 percent to about 35 percent;
- a first decorative layer consisting essentially of a bonded leather having a sheet thickness ranging from about 0.2 mm to about 4.0 mm;
- and
- an overlay layer disposed on a side of said first decorative layer opposite the core layer, said overlay layer being at least one sheet of alpha cellulose paper impregnated with a melamine formaldehyde resin.
A heat and pressure consolidated laminate, comprising in superimposed relationship:
- a core layer containing at least one cellulosic sheet impregnated with a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin, the cellulosic sheet having a resin content ranging from about 25 percent to about 35 percent;
- a first decorative layer consisting essentially of leather, the first decorative layer having a sheet thickness ranging from about 0.2 mm to about 4.0 mm;
- and
- a bond formed from the thermosetting resin, which bond consolidates the layers together within the laminate.
A heat and pressure consolidated laminate, comprising in superimposed relationship:
- a core layer containing at least one cellulosic sheet impregnated with a thermosetting resin;
- a first decorative layer consisting essentially of a leather animal hide;
- and
- a bond formed from the thermosetting resin, which bond consolidates the layers together within the laminate.
