Non-woven fiberglass veils, and laminates made therefrom, comprising: a plurality of glass fibers; a resin component; a fire-retardant component; and a particulate component, the particulate component comprising inorganic particles having a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the fire-retardant component and an average particle size of from about 0.1 to about 0.5 μm; wherein the fire-retardant component and the particulate component are present in a combined amount of from about 50% to about 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the veil, and wherein the fire-retardant component and the particulate component are present in a ratio by weight of from about 95:5 to about 50:50; are described.

Fiberglass veils containing fire-retardant minerals and refractive particles, and high gloss and/or fire-retardant and/or non-combustible laminates containing such veils

A decorative laminate is provided and includes a core with at least one epoxy resin impregnated fiberboard sheet. The decorative laminate also includes at least one decorative layer provided adjacent to the core. A method of forming a decorative laminate is also provided.

Decorative laminate and method of making

A decorative laminate having improved scratch and abrasion resistance is provided. In one embodiment, the decorate laminate includes a substrate or core, a decorative sheet on the substrate, and an overlay sheet on the decorative sheet. The overlay sheet is coated on both major surfaces to provide scratch and abrasion resistance to the laminate. The coating on the interior facing surface contains mineral particles having a particle size of from between about 10-30 microns. The coating on the exterior facing surface contains a mixture of first mineral particles having a particle size of from between about 3-8 microns and second mineral particles having a particle size of less than about 1.0 micron. The first mineral particles are preferably alumina particles, and the second mineral particles are preferably sol gel process alumina particles.
