  • Patent number: 5744220
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermosetting decorative laminate (11), primarily intended as flooring laminate, comprising two or more layers (3, 4, 5), whereby at least one layer is a decorative layer (4) comprising a decor paper (9) provided with a bar pattern comprising a plurality of parallel rows of bars (14), whereby the bars (14) in adjoining rows preferably are mutually offset in the longitudinal direction. The bar pattern allows said laminate (11) to be divided into m longitudinal units or panels each consisting of p rows of bars (14), whereby said unit or panel comprises m.times.p rows of bars (14). The pattern of each left end bar (A1-A9) matches the pattern of corresponding right end bar (B1-B9) of each unit or panel and the pattern of these bars matches the pattern of corresponding end bars (A, B) in corresponding rows of all m units or panels.

  • Patent number: 5695875
    Abstract: A particle board including wood particles having a maximum particle size of 3 mm and an average particle size of between 0.2 mm and 2.0 mm. The wood particles are combined with a glue, present in a concentration of 5% to 18% by weight, and 0.1% to 1% by weight of a sizing agent. The particle board components are subjected to a pressure of 15 to 50 kp/cm.sup.2 and a temperature of 120.degree. to 210.degree. C. to produce a particle board having a density of 600 to 1200 kg/m.sup.3 and a water absorption of 14% to 30% by weight, said swelling and absorption measured after 24 hours in water, a bending strength of 18 to 35 MPa and an internal bond strength of 1.2.
