Patent ID: 8617690

Claim:
A directly laminated board that is produced by hot-pressing, comprising: a core of wood material; a decorative layer on at least one surface of the core, the decorative layer having a graphic representation of a surface of an imitated material, the decorative layer further comprising paper that is not impregnated with resin and that is dry prior to hot-pressing; a resin-impregnated, transparent cover layer on said decorative layer, said transparent cover embossed with a relief reproduction which corresponds to the graphic representation of the surface structure of the imitated material; and a resinous soft and flexible intermediate ply adhesive layer between the decorative layer and the core, which allows for flexibility of the decorative layer so as to prevent crushing of the decorative layer by the core; the intermediate ply adhesive layer being produced prior to hot-pressing the board as a separate, prefabricated intermediate ply adhesive layer with impregnating resin, the intermediate ply adhesive layer comprises a matrix in which the impregnating resin is embedded; wherein the layers and the core are positioned on top of one another before pressing and then hot-pressed together in a single pressing so that the layers are bonded together and the relief-like representation on the transparent cover layer corresponds to the graphic representation of the surface structure of the imitated material with the resin of the intermediate ply ensuring that the core and the decorative layer are securely bonded to each other; wherein the intermediate ply adhesive layer is directly on the core material, the decorative layer is directly on the intermediate ply adhesive layer, and the resin-impregnated, transparent cover layer is directly on the decorative layer.
