Abstract

A method for forming a laminate which is composed of a decorative layer and a carrier panel comprising applying a crosslinking plastic foam onto a decorative carrier web, subjecting the thus coated web to heat treatment to dry and partially crosslink the foam and then marrying the unfoamed side of the web to a carrier panel with the application of heat and pressure so as to further crosslink the foam. Laminates in accordance with the invention are described. Such laminates possess stability against delamination as well as relative freedom from gaseous inclusions.
