  • Patent number: 10279571
    Abstract: The present invention provides a decorative melamine board that maintains the surface hardness associated with melamine resin while having superior non-combustibility, being able to accommodate reductions in thickness and having superior bending workability at normal temperatures. The decorative melamine board has a structure obtained by laminating a surface layer and a core layer. The surface layer includes a surface layer material composed of a surface layer base material that carries a resin containing a melamine resin on a first surface side serving as a design surface, and carries a solid content of a thermoplastic resin emulsion on a second surface side that contacts the core layer. The core layer includes a core layer material composed of glass cloth or a prepreg having glass cloth as a base material thereof.
