Abstract

See full text

A highly glossy thick aesthetic laminate surface layer is achieved by using pre-cured particulates of the impregnating resin preferably along with an initial binder material and abrasion resistant mineral particles. The protective overcoating may be applied in a thick layer to give gouge resistance and a deep look in the glossy laminate. The overcoated decor sheet is pressed against a mirror plate in the laminate manufacturing process, and gives a gloss meter reading well over 100. Because the impregnating resin and the pre-cured particulates have the same index of refraction, the transparency of the coating and the resultant clarity of the underlying decor sheet are excellent.
