Abstract

A board including a plurality of layers having a different composition. At least one of the layers is based on MgO and MgChloride and/or at least one of said layers is based on MgO and MgSulphate. Methods for manufacturing such boards, and methods for manufacturing coated panels include such board.

Claims (19)

1 . A panel, wherein the panel is a floor panel, a wall panel or a ceiling panel,

wherein the panel comprises a board and a decorative layer provided on the board,

wherein the board is based on MgO and MgChloride or wherein the board is based on MgO and MgSulphate,

wherein the decorative layer comprises a printed paper sheet being treated with a resin, wherein the resin is selected from melamine formaldehyde (MF), polyurethane (PU), latex, acrylate dispersion or a combination thereof.

2 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the decorative layer is applied to the board by means of a heated press treatment wherein a stack comprising said board, and at least said printed paper sheet treated with resin is brought into a heated press equipment and pressed, wherein a consolidation of the stack is attained together with a curing of the resin.

3 . The panel of claim 2 , wherein said pressing is performed at a pressure of at least 20 bars, and a temperature of at least 120° C. during at least 10 seconds.

4 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a paper overlay sheet applied on top of the printed paper sheet, wherein the paper overlay sheet is transparent or translucent in the panel.

5 . The panel of claim 4 , wherein the paper overlay sheet is impregnated with resin and wherein the paper overlay sheet comprises aluminum oxide particles.

6 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a counterbalancing paper layer at the bottom of the board.

7 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel does not comprise a glass fiber net.

8 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the board is provided at at least two opposite edges with coupling means allowing to couple two such panels at the respective edges, wherein a vertical locking perpendicular to the plane of coupled panels and/or a horizontal locking perpendicular to the respective edges and in the plane of the coupled panels is obtained.

9 . The panel of claim 8 , wherein said coupling means are basically shaped as a tongue and a groove, wherein the groove is bordered by an upper and a lower lip.

10 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein said lower lip and/or said upper lip comprises a locking element taking part in said horizontal locking, wherein the respective lip is at least partially provided in a layer of the board that comprises cellulose fibers.

11 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the board comprises cellulose based material.

12 . The panel of claim 11 , wherein the board is a multilayer board, wherein the top layer of the board comprises a higher percentage by weight of cellulose based material than at least a central layer of the board.

13 . The board of claim 11 , wherein the board comprises at least a top layer, a central layer and a bottom layer;

wherein the top layer and the bottom layer comprise a higher percentage by weight of cellulose based material than the central layer.

14 . The panel of claim 11 , wherein the cellulose based material is coated with a coupling agent or resin.

15 . The panel of claim 11 , wherein the cellulose based material is selected from wood dust, wood fibers, wood particles, bamboo particles, paper fibers, or combinations thereof.
