Patent ID: 8449977

Claim:
An article having a substrate and an anti-abrasion layer on the surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate is selected from wood materials, decorative papers and wood fibre sheets printed with patterns, and the anti abrasion layer comprises: a mixture of irregular particles of hard material and round solid material particles, essentially free of cutting edges, embedded in a matrix material, wherein: the particles of hard material have a Mohs hardness rating of at least 6, and the solid material particles have a Mohs hardness rating of at least 3, characterized in that: i. the average particle diameter of the solid material particles is equal to or less than the average particle diameter of the particles of hard material; ii. the round solid particles essentially free of cutting edges are made of a material selected from the group consisting of glass and sintered ceramic; and iii. the ratio of round solid material particles, essentially free of cutting edges, in the embedded mixture is 10 to 50 wt.-%, based on the total amount of embedded particles.
