ABSTRACT:
A method for the production of a laminate is provided, comprising the steps of: 1) providing a stack of layers including a decorative layer, a core layer, and optionally an overlayer; 2) impregnating one or both of the decorative layer and overlayer with a resin formulation that includes nanoclay particles disposed within a thermoset resin, wherein the concentration of the nanoclay particles within the thermoset resin is great enough to form a physical barrier within the resin and low enough to avoid a hazy appearance; and 3) subjecting the stack of layers to sufficient heat and pressure to cause the layers to bond to one another. According to an aspect of the present invention, a laminate is provided producible by the above-described method.
