Abstract: A compound formable decorative laminate includes a resin impregnated decorative layer composed of a bilaterally stretchable decorative paper and a resin impregnated core layer composed of a bilaterally stretchable kraft paper. The laminate is used in the manufacture of various articles requiring molding about a compound surface.

Abstract: The assembly includes a moving web drawn in a first direction and a spreading apparatus evenly distributing solid particles onto the moving web. The spreading apparatus includes a rotating disk having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is adapted to distribute solid particles outwardly as the solid particles strike the upper surface of the rotating disk. The spreading apparatus further includes a baffle positioned about the rotating disk. The baffle includes a first diameter and a second diameter wherein the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter, and the first diameter is oriented perpendicular to the first direction in which the web is moving and the second diameter is oriented parallel to the first direction in which the web is moving. The spreading apparatus also includes a feed assembly positioned above the rotating disk so as to provide a predetermined supply of solid particles to the upper surface of the rotating disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laminate including a decorative layer, a first resin impregnated core layer, a radiation barrier layer and a second resin impregnated core layer. The laminate prevents the penetration of radiation therethrough and maybe used in the construction of ceiling and wall panels, flooring, furniture, fixtures, cabinet and door cladding, protective screens and other objects which will effectively prevent the passage of radiation from an isolated enclosure.

Abstract: The invention relates to the bonding of a phenolic resin impregnated core and a metal sheet into a high pressure laminate. A binding layer of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer is positioned between the core and the metal sheet to ensure bonding of the layers when a lay-up containing the desired layers is heated and pressed.

Abstract: A magnetically active laminate is disclosed. The magnetically active laminate is composed of a resin impregnated layer bonded to a distinct, magnetically active sheet. The laminate is especially well suited for use in the construction of erasable markerboards and cubicle panels, although many applications are possible within the scope of the present invention.
