Abstract
A use of dicyandiamide is provided as a modifier in a melamine-formaldehyde resin for use in a floor panel including a substrate and a top layer. The top layer defines an upper surface of the floor panel. The floor panel is provided with embossments extending from the upper surface, such that the thickness of the floor panel varies along a cross-section of the floor panel. The top layer has a modified melamine-formaldehyde resin including formaldehyde and melamine in an F/M molar ratio within the range of from 1.60 to 1.80, and at least one modifier, thereby providing a floor panel having improved transparency at the embossments.
