Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer material for dye sublimation processes, comprising a base paper, which is coated on one side with a color-receiving layer, wherein the base paper contains at least 1.5% by weight, based on the mass of the pulp, of a polymer dispersion selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyolefins or mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to a process for producing a transfer material according to the invention, comprising the steps of: (a) producing a base paper on a paper machine, wherein at least 1.5% by weight, based on the mass of the pulp, of a polymer dispersion selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyolefins or mixtures thereof are added to the pulp suspension during production of the base paper; (b) drying and smoothing the base paper; (c) applying the color-receiving layer to a surface of the base paper; and (d) drying the transfer material obtained in step (c).

Abstract: A prepreg for further processing to form a decorative paper is obtainable by impregnation of a decorative base paper with an impregnating resin solution that contains at least one styrene-alkylacrylate-hydroxyethylmethacrylate copolymer and at least one water-soluble polymer, wherein alkyl stands for methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl and the prepreg is notable for improved resistance to splitting as well as better adhesion and flatness.

Abstract: A prepreg can be obtained by impregnating a decorative base paper with an impregnating resin solution which contains at least one polymer latex and at least one modified starch with a specific molecular weight distribution.
