Abstract:
A laminate panel having desired characteristics even though the materials having these desired characteristics are not compatible in at least one aspect is disclosed. One of the substances having the desired characteristics may be adapted to be compatible with the other substance, and the two substances placed adjacent to each other. For example, the laminate panel includes a liquid impermeable layer that substantially prevents the penetration of moisture. The panel also includes a layer of a balancing substance disposed adjacent to the liquid impermeable layer to balance another layer of the laminate panel. The balancing substance is adapted to provide a desired bonding between the liquid impermeable layer and the layer of the balancing substance.
Assembly For Distributing Solid Particles On A Moving Web

International Classification:
B05C005/00
US Classification:
118/308000
Abstract:
The assembly includes a moving web drawn in a first direction and a spreading apparatus evenly distributing solid particles onto the moving web. The spreading apparatus includes a rotating disk having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is adapted to distribute solid particles outwardly as the solid particles strike the upper surface of the rotating disk. The spreading apparatus further includes a baffle positioned about the rotating disk. The baffle includes a first diameter and a second diameter wherein the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter, and the first diameter is oriented perpendicular to the first direction in which the web is moving and the second diameter is oriented parallel to the first direction in which the web is moving. The spreading apparatus also includes a feed assembly positioned above the rotating disk so as to provide a predetermined supply of solid particles to the upper surface of the rotating disk.

US Classification:
1563074, 156278, 156310, 156312, 428530
Abstract:
Decorative paper with a wear resistant decorative layer is made by limiting the flow of melamine resin through the decorative paper. A partially cured melamine resin impregnated overlay is placed over non-impregnated decorative paper and cured at temperatures of about 230-310Â F. (110-155Â C. ) and pressures of greater than about 300 psi (20 bar) and preferably about 750-1500 psi (51-102 bar) for causing melamine resin to flow from the overlay into the decorative paper and for substantially fully curing the melamine resin. Flow of the melamine resin is limited to about 10-20 and preferably about 12-17 percent by weight of the impregnated overlay. Flow of melamine resin in impregnated decorative paper is limited to about 1-3 and preferably about 1-2 percent by weight of the impregnated decorative paper.
