A novel release sheet comprising a web of paper having a water absorption of at least about 200 seconds which has been sized on at least one side thereof with a water-soluble, alkaline earth or earth metal salt, e.g. a calcium salt such as calcium chloride and then coated on said sized side with a film of a mixture of a salt of alginic acid, such as sodium alginate, and either (1) a triglyceride or (2) hydrolyzed or non-hydrolyzed lecithin, and a method of producing decorative laminates therewith.

Release sheets and process of use

A novel method of releasing from one another in a press pack, a plurality of back-to-back heat and pressure consolidated resin-impregnated laminates, e.g. decorative laminates, metal clad laminates, veneer backs and the like, which method comprises utilizing, as a separator sheet, a web of phenol-formaldehyde resin-free paper having a water absorption of at least about 200 seconds which has been sized on at least one side thereof, from an aqueous mixture, a water-soluble, alkaline earth or earth metal salt, e.g. a calcium salt such as calcium chloride, then coated on said sized side with a film of a mixture of a salt of alginic acid, such as sodium alginate, and either (1) a triglyceride or (2) hydrolyzed or non-hydrolyzed lecithin.

Process for releasing laminates

Rapid curing melamine-formaldehyde resin composition

A heat and pressure consolidated structure comprising, in superimposed relationship, (A) a self-supporting substrate, and (B) a decorative .alpha.-cellulose paper sheet impregnated with a composition comprising (1) a blend of an aqueous melamine/formaldehyde resin solution and from about 2% to about 20.0% of an ethylene glycol or (2) an aqueous solution of the resinous reaction product of melamine, formaldehyde and from about 2.0% to about 20.0% of an ethylene glycol, is disclosed.

Low pressure melamine resin laminates

A composition of matter comprising (1) a blend of an aqueous melamine/formaldehyde resin solution and from about 2 to about 20.0% of an ethylene glycol or (2) an aqueous solution of the resinous reaction product of melamine, formaldehyde and from about 2.0 to about 20.0% of an ethylene glycol, is disclosed.

Low pressure melamine resins containing an ethylene glycol and an

Paper of at least about 60% .alpha.-cellulose content, a basis weight of about 50-90 pounds per 3000 square foot ream, a pH of about 6.75.+-.0.5 and a Gurley porosity of about 15-25 seconds per 100 c.c. of air having impregnated therein from about 55% to about 65%, by weight, based on the weight of the paper, of a .beta.-staged resin composition comprising
