A process for forming a laminated abrasion resistant product includes superposing at least one resin containing layer impregnated with abrasion-resistant particles, with respect to a substrate, and pressing the layer and substrate together in a press containing one or more hot platens for activating the resin or an adhesive between the layer and the substrate. The press includes one or more pressplates that engage a respective surface of the layer with a first textured face thereof to impart a corresponding finish to the engaged surface of the layer. At least one of the pressplates has a second textured face on the other side of the plate from the first textured face, the press further includes a protective layer adjacent the second textured face remote from the layer, for substantially protecting the second textured face against wear, whereby when the first textured face has been utilised for multiple press cycles and requires refinishing or refurbishing, the pressplate may be inverted for further press cycles utilising the second textured face. A press for forming a laminated abrasion resistant product is also disclosed. |
