Abstract
Laminate precursor rolls are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying to form a dry foamed opacifying layer, applying an anti-blocking composition to the dry foamed opacifying layer. Each laminate precursor is rolled up for immediate or later use to make laminate decorative articles when the unrolled laminate precursor is laminated to the back side of a decorative fabric with or without an adhesive. The dry foamed opacifying layer is present at a dry coverage of less than or equal to 1000 g/m. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b') a matrix material that is derived from a (b) binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, a very low amount of (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.
