A method for forming a laminate which is composed of a decorative layer and a carrier panel comprising applying a crosslinking plastic foam onto a decorative carrier web, subjecting the thus coated web to heat treatment to dry and partially crosslink the foam and then marrying the unfoamed side of the web to a carrier panel with the application of heat and pressure so as to further crosslink the foam. Laminates in accordance with the invention are described. Such laminates possess stability against delamination as well as relative freedom from gaseous inclusions.

Method of placing a decorative layer on a carrier panel

A method for producing a flocked web by applying a layer of a thermosetting plastic foam onto a carrier sheet which foam penetrates into the surface of the carrier, flocking the uncrosslinked layer and then thermally hardening the layer and wherein prior to complete crosslinking of the flocked layer, the partially crosslinked flocked layer is submitted to heat pressing. In a preferred embodiment, the heat pressing can include an embossing step. The process of the present invention is not only easy to carry out, it avoids the presence of air bubbles as well as other inconsistancies in the product. The product obtained with the present invention is also disclosed.
