Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a decorative mainly isometric thermosetting laminate, a decorative thermosetting laminate obtained by the process, and use thereof.
- thermosetting laminates are quite common nowadays. They are most often used where the demand for abrasion resistance is great but also where resistance towards different chemical substances and moisture is required.
- Floors, floor skirtings, work tops, table tops, doors and wall panels can serve as an examples of such products.
- the thermosetting laminate is most often made from a number of base sheets and a decorative sheet placed closest to the surface.
- the decorative sheet may be provided with the desired decor or pattern.
- Thicker laminates are often provided with a core of particle board or fibre board where both sides are covered with sheets of thermosetting laminate. The outermost sheet is, on at least one side, most often a decorative sheet.
- the problems can be partly solved by making the core of paper impregnated with thermosetting resin as well.
- a laminate is most often called compact laminate.
- These compact laminates are, however, very expensive and laborious to obtain as several tens of layers of paper have to be impregnated, dried and put in layers.
- the direction of the fibre in the paper does furthermore cause a moisture and temperature difference relating expansion. This expansion is two to three times as high in the direction crossing the fibre than along the fibre.
- the longitudinal direction of the fibre is coinciding with the longitudinal direction of the paper.
- One will furthermore be restricted to use cellulose as a base in the manufacturing though other materials could prove suitable.
- the above problems have through the present invention been solved whereby a flexible process for the manufacturing of a mainly isometric thermosetting laminate has been achieved where the process easily can be adapted regarding cost efficiency, impact resistance, rigidity, density, moisture absorption, expansion, mould resistance and fire resistance.
- the invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of a decorative mainly isometric thermosetting laminate comprising an isometric core, a primary surface layer and optionally a secondary surface layer.

- the friction heat is not allowed to exceed 1 50°C, preferably below 1 10°C, most preferably below 90°C.
- the thermosetting resin is thereby bonding to or impregnating the particles by becoming soft.

- the dried particle/resin mixture is thereafter evenly distributed on a carrier, a pressing belt of a continuous laminate press or on a press plate of a discontinuous laminate press.
- the dried particle/resin mixture is thereafter continuously or discontinuously compressed at a temperature of 60 - 120°C, preferably 80 - 100°C and a pressure of 1 5 - 400bar, preferably 30 - 120bar so that the particle/resin agglomerate flow out without completely curing the resin.
- a pre-fabricate to an isometric core is hereby obtained.
- the core pre-fabricate is then fed between the press belts of a continuous laminate press, or is placed on a press plate of a discontinuous laminate press, together with a primary surface layer which is provided with a decorative layer, and optionally a secondary layer and is thereafter continuously or discontinuously compressed at a temperature of 120 - 200°C, preferably 140 - 180°C and a pressure of 15 - 300bar, preferably 30 - 150bar so that the resin cures, whereby a decorative thermosetting laminate provided with an isometric core is obtained.
