Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminate having a backing sheet and a decorative paper arranged on the backing sheet, including the steps of: a) providing the backing sheet, b) scattering at least one layer of at least one powdered resin onto at least one side of the backing sheet, the surface of the side of the backing sheet that is to be scattered with the powdered resin being unsmoothed, c) placing at least one decorative paper onto the side of the backing sheet that is provided with the powdered resin, and d) pressing the layered structure including the backing sheet, the powdered resin and the decorative paper. The present invention likewise relates to a laminate that can be produced by this method.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein at least one side of the wooden composite board is coated with the at least one backing paper, and/or the at least one side of the at least one backing paper that is to be scattered with the at least one pulverulent resin, is pretreated, before scattering of the at least one pulverulent resin, to improve the adhesion of the at least one pulverulent resin.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one side of the wooden composite board that is to be coated with the at least one backing paper, and/or the at least one side of the at least one backing paper that is to be scattered with the at least one pulverulent resin, is pretreated by being subjected to moisture or being electrostatically charged.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pulverulent resin is applied using a scattering apparatus.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one backing paper is an at least partially impregnated backing paper.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wooden composite board consists of a wood-based material or a wood-based material/polymer mixture.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the wooden composite board is a particle board, medium density fibre (MDF) board, high-density fibre (HDF) board or oriented strand board (OSB), or plywood board.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pulverulent resin has a scatter density of 0.8 to 1.0 kg/l and an average particle size of 20 to 30 μm.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pulverulent resin is applied in an amount of 6 to 10 g/m 2 to the wooden composite board.

15. A method for producing a laminate comprising a wooden composite board and a decorative paper disposed on the wood composite board, comprising the steps of:

a) providing the wooden composite board,

b) scattering at least one layer of at least one pulverulent resin onto at least one side of the wooden composite board, where a surface of that side of the wooden composite board on which the at least one pulverulent resin is to be scattered is unsanded and bears a press skin or rotting layer,

c) placing at least one decorative paper onto a side of the wooden composite board that bears the pulverulent resin,

c2) applying at least one overlay onto the at least one decorative paper, and

d) compressing the wooden composite board, the at least one pulverulent resin and the at least one decorative paper,

wherein the at least one pulverulent resin has a scatter density of 0.5 to 1.5 kg/l and an average particle size of 10 to 50 μm and is applied in an amount of 3 to 20 g/m 2 to the wooden composite board, and

wherein the decorative paper is an at least partially impregnated decorative paper.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the at least one overlay applied in step c2) is a resin-impregnated overlay.

17. A method for producing a laminate comprising a wooden composite board and a decorative paper disposed on the wood composite board,

comprising the steps of:
