AMINOPLAST RESIN FOR DECORATIVE APPLICATIONS
The present invention relates to an aminoplast resin, suitable for decorative applications and comprising between 0.005 and 5 wt. % of a polyfluorinated (alk-)acrylic polymer, preferably selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylic (co)polymers, perfluoroalkyl methacrylic (co)polymers, and combinations thereof. The present invention further relates to a laminate comprising a top layer and a bottom layer, whereby the top layer comprises an at least partly cured aminoplast resin, characterised in that the top layer comprises between 0.002 and 5 wt. % of a polyfluorinated (alk-)acrylic polymer, preferably selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylic (co)polymers, perfluoroalkyl methacrylic (co)polymers, and combinations thereof.
1 . Aminoplast resin, comprising a fluoro compound, wherein the resin comprises between 0.005 and 5 wt. % of a polyfluorinated (alk-)acrylic polymer.
2 . Aminoplast resin according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoro compound is selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylic (co)polymers, perfluoroalkyl methacrylic (co)polymers, and combinations thereof.
3 . Aminoplast resin according to, claim 1 , wherein the fluoro compound is a copolymer derived from perfluoroalkyl acrylic or perfluoroalkyl methacrylic monomers or combinations thereof, amino functional monomers, and silane functional monomers.
4 . Laminate comprising a top layer and a bottom layer, whereby the top layer comprises an at least partly cured aminoplast resin and a fluoro compound, wherein the top layer comprises between 0.005 and 5 wt. % of a polyfluorinated (alk-)acrylic polymer.
5 . Laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the fluoro compound is selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylic (co)polymers, perfluoroalkyl methacrylic (co)polymers, and combinations thereof.
6 . Melamine composition, comprising melamine and a fluoro compound, wherein the composition comprises between 0.01 and 25 wt. % of a polyfluorinated (alk-)acrylic polymer.
7 . Melamine composition according to claim 6 , wherein the fluoro compound is selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylic copolymers, perfluoroalkyl methacrylic copolymers, and combinations thereof.
8 . Melamine composition according to claim 7 , wherein the melamine is a multicrystalline melamine.
