Abstract (en)

A process for the manufacture of a decorative laminate utilises a decorative laminate surface or overlay paper carrying a coating comprising a pigment and a binder. This coating affords improved printability without unacceptably reducing absorbency towards impregnating resins. The Gurley porosity of the coated paper is about 10-70 sec/100 ml; and the coating is present at a dry coatweight of up to 10 gm<-><2>, preferably 2.5 to 3 gm<-><2>. The coating is preferably applied by means of a size press. Laminate manufacture using the paper is conventional.
