Patent number: 8545665Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a decorative board, which board, on its upper surface includes a decorative layer and a wear layer of cellulose and thermosetting amino resin. A decorative layer and wear layer is applied as a surface layer on a base layer and bonded thereto by pressing under elevated temperature and pressure in a laminate press. The wear layer, the decor layer and the base layer are arranged to form a stack of layers. The stack of layers are fed into a laminate press and pressed therein under heat and pressure where at least the upper surface becomes heated. The decorative board is acquired from the laminate press whereupon a forced cooling of the decorative board is initiated in order to bring the surface temperature of the decorative board down.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Pergo (Europe) ABInventors: Patrick Smith, Krister Hansson, Ake Sjoberg, Roland Larsson
