Abstract
A thick aesthetic laminate surface layer is achieved by using pre-cured particulates of the impregnating resin along with an initial binder material and preferably also abrasion resistant mineral particles. The protective overcoating may be applied in a thick layer to give gouge resistance and a deep look. Because the impregnating resin and the pre-cured particulates have the same index of refraction, the transparency of the coating and the resultant clarity of the underlying decor sheet are excellent.
