Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-abrasion layer, comprising a mixture of irregular particles of hard material and round particles essentially free of cutting edges embedded in a matrix material and the use thereof for the production of anti-abrasion surfaces on wood materials, decorative paper, or wood fiber sheets printed with patterns for the production of parquet floors, floor laminates, furniture surfaces or work boards and for the production of wear-resistant surface layers on support materials made from metal, glass, ceramics, plastic concrete or other materials.

Claims (18)

1. Anti abrasion layer comprising:

a mixture of irregular particles of hard material and round solid material particles, essentially free of cutting edges, embedded in a matrix material, wherein:

the particles of hard material have a Mohs hardness rating of at least 6, and the solid material particles have a Mohs hardness rating of at least 3, characterized in that:

the average particle diameter of the solid material particles is equal to or less than the average particle diameter of the particles of hard material;

the round solid particles essentially free of cutting edges are made of a material selected from the group consisting of glass and sintered ceramic; and

the ratio of round solid material particles, essentially free of cutting edges, in the embedded mixture is 10 to 50 wt. %, based on the total amount of embedded particles; and

the matrix material comprises a synthetic resin, comprising a material selected from the group consisting of melamine, epoxy, polyurethane, poiyamide, polyimide, latex, rubber, and a mixture thereof.

2. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the matrix material is selected from the group consisting of lacquer and plastics.

3. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the matrix material is a duroplastic, thermoplastic or elastomeric plastic.

4. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the irregular particles of hard material are selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, corundum, molten corundum, sintered corundum, zirconium corundum, sol-gel corundum, silicon carbide and boron carbide.

5. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , further comprising up to 15 wt.-% modifying constituents, selected from the group consisting of Na 2 O, Li 2 O, K 2 O, Fe 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , MgO, CaO, NbO, LaO, Y 2 O 3 , CeO and B 2 O 3 .

6. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the total quantity of solid material particles embedded in the matrix is 5-70 vol.-%, based on the matrix material.

7. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the total quantity of solid material particles embedded in the matrix is 2 to 200 g/m 2 .

8. Anti abrasion layer of claim 1 , wherein the irregular particles of hard material and/or the round solid material particles, essentially free of cutting edges, are subjected to surface treatment with organic and/or inorganic adhesive agents before being embedded in the matrix material.

9. Anti abrasion layer of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive agent comprises an organosilane, selected from the group consisting of an aminoalkylsilane or an aminoalkylalkoxysilane selected from the group consisting of aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane.

10. Anti abrasion layer of claim 8 , wherein the ratio of silane is 0.1 to 10 wt.-%, referred to the total ratio of particles of hard material and/or solid material particles.

11. Anti abrasion layer of claim 8 , characterized in that the adhesive agent comprises a silane.

12. Anti abrasion layer of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive agent comprises an organosilane.
