Abstract:
1. A process for producing a decorated laminate comprising the steps of: (a) applying a decorative layer on at least one side of a plate shaped core of wood or wood material; (b) applying an aqueous solution of aminoplast precursor to the decorative layer to form a cover sublayer of aminoplast precursor on the decorative layer; (c) pre-drying the cover sublayer of aminoplast precursor to increase the viscosity while not hardening or crosslinking the cover sublayer of a aminoplast precursor; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) in sequential order at least twice to form at least three cover sublayers of pre-dried aminoplast precursor on the decorative layer; and (e) hardening and crosslinking the at least three cover sublayers of aminoplast precursor under pressure and heat to form a cover layer on the decorative layer.
