Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for coating a board of wood-based material, in particular a board of real wood, a plywood board or a board for parquet flooring, with a flowable plastics material. The method comprises applying the plastics material as a single, thick layer to the board of wood-based material (6) and creating an impressed structure by means of a material web (3) or a structure roller. After creating the impressed structure, the plastics material is cured to produce a wear resistant surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for coating plates (6) in circulation. Said device comprises a transport system for transporting plates (6) and a feeding device (5) which can apply the coating material (8) to the surface of the plates. Means (7) for drying and/or hardening the coating material are provided next to the feeding device and above the plates. Contrary to state of the art devices, said inventive device comprises means which enable a material web (3) to pass between the transport elements for the transport of plates and means (7) for drying and/or hardening.
