Abstract
Method for manufacturing panels, wherein these panels are composed at least of a substrate and a top layer, which includes at least one material sheet, wherein for said material sheet use is made of a material sheet which previously is provided with a radiation-hardening covering layer, in which hard particles are included.
Claims8
A method for manufacturing panels composed at least of an MDF or HDF substrate and a top layer including at least one material sheet provided with a thermo-hardening resin, the at least one material sheet including a print sheet provided with a print defining the uppermost material sheet in the top layer, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the print sheet with the thermo-hardening resin;
- providing the print sheet with a radiation-hardening covering layer and including hard particles;
- providing at least one further layer of hardened substance above the covering layer;
- forming a covered substrate, after providing the print sheet with a radiation-hardening covering layer, by bringing the at least one material sheet together with the substrate into a press, the at least one material sheet and the substrate are exposed to increased pressure and temperature by a press element and are mutually bonded to form said covered substrate;
- wherein the overall concentration of hard particles in the top layer of the panels is between 3 and 30 grams per square meter.
