Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an abrasion-resistant surface material for the coating of melamine resin laminates and to a laminate comprising the surface material used in accordance with the invention, and to a method for producing the laminate.

Abstract: A device (100) for the cutting to size of coated decorative paper web sections (5, 6), with a processing line (10) with units (11 to 13) for purposes of decorating and impregnating a continuous paper web (15) to form a decorative paper web (1), and at least one transverse cutting unit (30, 31) for purposes of cutting off decorative paper web sections (5, 6) of defined length (l1, l2) from the decorative paper web (1). In accordance with the invention provision is made for at least one longitudinal cutting unit (18) to be arranged ahead of the at least one transverse cutting unit (30, 31) in the direction of feed, for purposes of separating the decorative paper web (1) into at least two continuous decorative paper web lengths (2, 3), and provision is made for at least one deflection unit (25), which spaces the two decorative paper web lengths (2, 3) apart from one another and feeds each of them to a separate transverse cutting unit (30, 31).
