Abstract: A use of dicyandiamide is provided as a modifier in a melamine-formaldehyde resin for use in a floor panel including a substrate and a top layer. The top layer defines an upper surface of the floor panel. The floor panel is provided with embossments extending from the upper surface, such that the thickness of the floor panel varies along a cross-section of the floor panel. The top layer has a modified melamine-formaldehyde resin including formaldehyde and melamine in an F/M molar ratio within the range of from 1.60 to 1.80, and at least one modifier, thereby providing a floor panel having improved transparency at the embossments.

Abstract: A sheet includes a support layer and a coating layer on a side of the support layer. The coating layer is partially cured. The coating layer has carbon-carbon double bonds. The relative amount of carbon-carbon double bonds is higher at the surface of the coating layer than at the contact surface of the coating layer with the support layer. Methods are disclosed to manufacture such sheets; and to produce a decorative panel using such sheets.

Abstract: A coated panel has at least a substrate and a top layer applied thereto, The top layer includes at least a decor layer and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The above-mentioned wear layer has a thermally cured acrylate resin or a thermally cured unsaturated polyester resin. Thermal curing partially or completely cures the resin. The acrylate resin or unsaturated polyester resin is at least partially cured by a thermally initiated radical crosslinking reaction. A method for the production of such coated panels, in particular floor panels, is provided according the aforementioned coated panel.

Abstract: A decorative panel includes a decorative top layer, an intermediate layer and a carrier layer. The intermediate layer is located between the decorative top layer and the carrier layer. The intermediate layer includes wood particles, low-density particles and a polymer binder. The low-density particles have a density of less than 0.35 g/cm3. The polymer binder binds the wood particles and the low-density particles in the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A wall or ceiling panel assembly includes: at least one panel of rectangular or oblong shape provided with coupling means on at least two opposite long sidewalls of the panel. The length of the panel is greater than 1200 mm. The panel includes: at least a base layer having a mineral-based filler, and a decorative layer on top of the base layer, a coupling means on at least one long sidewall and a complementary coupling means on the opposite long sidewall. The panel further has a stiffening member adjacent to one of the long sidewalls.

Abstract: A decorative panel includes a substrate, a top layer and a top coating. The top layer is located between the substrate and the top coating. The uppermost surface of the top coating includes a randomized relief.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing decorative paper for decorative panels may involve providing a printable paper. A decorative pattern may be printed on a surface of the printable paper. The printed paper may be impregnated with a thermosetting resin.

Abstract: A decorative panel includes a mineral layer, and a decorative surface. The decorative surface has an embossed pattern, wherein the embossed pattern is provided in the mineral layer.

Abstract: A board consisting at least of a substrate formed at least of a gypsum-based and/or cement-based basic material layer. The board is provided with a chamfer extending through the basic material layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a panel having a substrate, a decorative layer that includes a digital print, and a translucent or transparent wear layer may involve providing the substrate with the digital print by jetting one or more inks from a set of inks using a digital inkjet printer. The inks of the set of inks may include a binding agent. An additional spot color channel in the digital inkjet printer may be used to jet a colorless ink with an increased concentration of binder or binding agent.

Abstract: A decorative panel includes one or more substrate layers and a top layer. The top layer has at least a decorative layer and a wear layer provided above the decorative layer. At least a first substrate layer has a plurality of recesses, indentations and/or spaces, or wherein the decorative panel further has a corrugated layer positioned on the bottom side of one of the substrate layers, such as the lowermost substrate layer.

Abstract: A method of printing a color image of an image file onto a substrate using a digital printer may involve, at a first point in time: a) printing a plurality of color samples in a number of different colors on a substrate; and b) generating a first characteristic curve for each color, and storing the first characteristic curves in a primary file.
