LAMINATE OVERLAY WITH PRESS PLATE PROTECTION AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a method of producing a resin-impregnated grit-containing overlay for laminates. The overlay provides both abrasion resistance and reduced press plate damage. The method comprises impregnating a grit-containing overlay with a thermosetting resin composition comprising an incured thermosetting resin and fiber and drying and, optionally partially curing the impregnated substrate. The fiber is typically alpha cellulose fiber.
