Abstract
Abstract A decorative thermosetting laminate with an extremely increased abrasion resistance comprising a base layer and at least two patterned decor sheets of paper impregnated with a thermosetting resin and firmly bonded to the base layer. The paper material of these decor sheets is transparent. These sheets are provided with the same pattern and placed on top of each other in such a manner that the corresponding parts of the pattern of the sheets coincide at least mainly but preferably fully with each other, whereby the pattern at abrasion of one decor sheet will be repeated in the next decor sheet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A decorative thermosetting laminate with an extremely increased abrasion resistance comprising a base layer and at least two patterned decor sheets of paper impregnated with a thermosetting resin and firmly bonded to the base layer, the paper material of these decor sheets being transparent, wherein these sheets are provided with the same pattern and placed on top of each other in such a manner that the corresponding parts of the pattern of the sheets coincide at least mainly but preferably fully with each other, whereby the pattern at abrasion of one decor sheet will be repeated in the next decor sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A decorative thermosetting laminate with an extremely increased abrasion resistance comprising a base layer and at least two patterned decor sheets of paper impregnated with a thermosetting resin and firmly bonded to the base layer, the paper material of these decor sheets being transparent, wherein these sheets are provided with the same pattern and placed on top of each other in such a manner that the corresponding parts of the pattern of the sheets coincide at least mainly but preferably fully with each other, whereby the pattern at abrasion of one decor sheet will be repeated in the next decor sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A laminate according to claim 1, wherein the paper material of the decor sheets consists of α-cellulose.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A laminate according to claim 2, wherein the paper sheets are calandered or prepared in another way to make the printing possible.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A laminate according to any one of claims 1-3, which comprises also natural unpatterned transparent paper sheets impregnated with thermosetting resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A laminate according to claim 4, wherein the unpatterned, transparent paper sheets are placed between the patterned transparent decor sheets of paper.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A laminate according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein at least one unpatterned transparent paper sheet is placed as the uppermost sheet in the laminate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
A laminate according to any one of claims 1-6, wherein at least one of the patterned or unpatterned transparent paper sheets before the bonding step has been impregnated with a thermosetting resin and coated with small, dry and hard particles evenly distrubuted over the resin coated surface whereupon the resin has been dried.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A laminate according to claim 7, wherein the hard particles consist of silica, aluminium oxide and/or silicon carbide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
A laminate according to any one of claims 7 or 8, wherein the hard particles have an average particle size of about 1-80 µm, preferably about 5-60 µm.
