As example of such products can be mentioned floors, floor beadings, work tops, desk tops and wall panels.
- The thermosetting laminate most often consists of a number of base sheets with decor sheet arranged closest to the surface. The decor sheet can be provided with a desired decor or pattern. Such laminates are very hard in order to withstand the wear they are exposed to. This will unfortunately lead to a high noise level when hard objects are retarded suddenly by the laminate surface, such as hard heels towards a laminate surface.

- It has, through the present invention, been made possible to meet the above mentioned desires and a thermosetting laminate with a lower noise level has been achieved. Accordingly, the invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of a decorative laminate. The laminate comprises an upper decorative and abrasion resistant thermosetting laminate layer and a carrying core. The invention is characterised in that the upper side of the core is provided with the abrasion resistant thermosetting laminate and that the lower side of the core is provided with a balance layer. The balance layer have the purpose of preventing warping of said decorative laminate and is at the same time having the purpose of acoustic dampening. The balance layer comprises a layer of a polymer, whereby said balance layer and said thermosetting laminate are joined with said core by means of pressing. Said carrying core further is provided with a dampening foil of an elastomer arranged between the upper side of the core and the abrasion resistant thermosetting laminate which elastomer and which thermosetting laminate are joined with each other and with the core by means of pressing. The achieved laminate is then cut into panels and provided with edges intended for joining.
- The thermosetting laminate is preferably constituted by one or more decor papers impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin and one or more overlay sheets impregnated with melamine formaldehyde resin arranged on top of the decor papers. The thermosetting laminate may further possibly constitute one or more conventional resin impregnated underlay papers, arranged under the decor paper or decor papers, which underlay papers preferably contains phenol-formaldehyde resin.
