20140260042 | CLADDING SYSTEM FOR BUILDING LAMINATES - Visible and concealed cladding systems used for attaching laminate panels to building structures are provided. The visible cladding systems comprise tracks and sliding clips to slide the laminate panel into the desired location on the building wall. The concealed cladding systems comprise hanger elements to attach a laminate panel to the building wall. | 09-18-2014 |
20130248115 | APPARATUS AND METHOD TO MANUFACTURE SHAPED COUNTER TOP EDGES FOR CUSTOM COUNTER TOPS - An apparatus and method to manufacture shaped counter top edges for custom counter tops. Sheet laminate is heated, clamped to a post form mold with clamping screws, and then formed around the post form mold into formed laminate. The formed laminate is then bonded to a substrate using adhesive and a bonding fixture having a plurality of bonding presses. Each bonding press has a pair of mutually opposed bonding press molds, each bonding press mold having a bonding press mold groove sized to admit a formed laminate around an edge of the substrate. Clamps hold the bonding press molds together, thereby urging the formed laminate into intimate contact with the substrate until the adhesive cures. A counter top edge is cut from the resulting substrate/laminate assembly at an edge first cut angle and an edge second cut angle to provide a neat and aesthetically pleasing installation on a counter. | 09-26-2013 |
20130231408 | SOLID SURFACE SHEETS CONTAINING POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED MATERIALS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to solid surface sheets and methods of making solid surface sheets, wherein the method comprises dissolving post-consumer recycled polystyrene in a first liquid resin precursor to form a blend, solidifying the blend via curing, grinding the solidified blend into recycled particles, adding the recycled particles and filler into a second liquid resin precursor to produce a solid surface precursor, and molding and curing the solid surface precursor to produce the solid surface sheet. | 09-05-2013 |
20130228269 | APPARATUS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE SHAPED COUNTER TOP EDGES FOR CUSTOM COUNTER TOPS - A method of manufacturing a shaped counter top edge includes heating a sheet laminate to an elevated temperature, bending the sheet laminate to a formed laminate, and applying adhesive to at least one of the formed laminate or a substrate comprising a substrate upper face, a substrate lower face, and a substrate shaped edge positioned between the substrate upper face and the substrate lower face. The method also includes positioning the formed laminate proximate to the substrate upper face, the substrate lower face, and the substrate shaped edge, and clamping the formed laminate to the substrate upper face, the substrate lower face, and the substrate shaped edge of the substrate with a clamping press assembly until the adhesive cures to form a substrate/laminate assembly from the formed laminate and the substrate. The method further includes cutting a portion of the substrate/laminate assembly to form the shaped counter top edge. | 09-05-2013 |
20130205698 | CLADDING SYSTEM FOR BUILDING LAMINATES - Visible and concealed cladding systems used for attaching laminate panels to building structures are provided. The visible cladding systems comprise tracks and sliding clips to slide the laminate panel into the desired location on the building wall. The concealed cladding systems comprise hanger elements to attach a laminate panel to the building wall. | 08-15-2013 |
20130089748 | THE SUBSTANTIALLY FORMALDEHYDE-FREE LAMINATES AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SUBSTANTIALLY FORMALDEHYDE-FREE LAMINATES - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to substantially formaldehyde-free laminates and methods of making substantially formaldehyde-free laminates, wherein the method comprises providing at least one layer of decorative paper; applying at least one polymer coating that is substantially formaldehyde free onto at least one surface of the decorative paper; electron beam curing the at least one polymer coating onto the decorative paper; providing one or more layers of core paper onto the coated decorative paper, wherein the core paper is impregnated with a resin that is substantially formaldehyde free; and hot pressing the core paper and coated decorative paper to form the substantially formaldehyde-free laminate. | 04-11-2013 |
20120142843 | SOLID SURFACE SHEETS CONTAINING POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED MATERIALS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to solid surface sheets and methods of making solid surface sheets, wherein the method comprises dissolving post-consumer recycled polystyrene in a first liquid resin precursor to form a blend, solidifying the blend via curing, grinding the solidified blend into recycled particles, adding the recycled particles and filler into a second liquid resin precursor to produce a solid surface precursor, and molding and curing the solid surface precursor to produce the solid surface sheet. | 06-07-2012 |
20080274343 | THICK SOLID SURFACE LAMINATE PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A solid surface product having a thickness of 3 cm or greater is provided which is substantially free from warping, has a homogeneous surface appearance, and is substantially free from entrapped air bubbles or voids. The solid surface material includes from about 25 to about 95 wt %, i.e. weight percent, of a polymer resin and from about 0 to about 70 wt % of a filler. A method for producing the solid surface material is also provided and includes forming a mixture of from about 25 to about 95 wt % of a polymer resin and from about 0 to about 70 wt % of a filler; casting the mixture into an open mold to a thickness of 3 cm or greater; applying a vacuum to the molded mixture to release entrapped gases therein; and curing the molded mixture to produce a thick solid surface material. | 11-06-2008 |
20080268273 | WOOD VENEER SURFACED DECORATIVE LAMINATE PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A wood veneer surfaced laminate and method of making it are provided which produces a product having the appearance of a natural wood product, but with the toughness, moisture resistance, stain resistance, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance of melamine resin surfaced laminate products. The wood veneer surfaced laminate is made by providing a sheet of a natural or engineered wood veneer; impregnating the sheet with a first liquid curable resin such that said liquid resin substantially completely impregnates the sheet; coating a second liquid curable resin onto a surface of the sheet; laminating the sheet to a core while curing the resins to form a natural or engineered wood veneer surfaced laminate. | 10-30-2008 |
20080264303 | SOLID SURFACE PRODUCT CONTAINING ORIENTED REFLECTIVE PARTICLES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A solid surface material which exhibits a pearlescent visual appearance and method of making it are provided. The solid surface material includes a polymer resin, optionally, a filler, and oriented anisotropic pigment particles dispersed substantially throughout the polymer resin to provide the pearlescent visual appearance. The solid surface material is made by forming a mixture of polymer resin, optional filler, and anisotropic pigment particles; dispersing the pigment particles substantially throughout the mixture; casting the mixture into an open mold; applying a vacuum to the molded mixture to release entrapped gases therein to cause the pigment particles to become oriented in the mixture; and curing the molded mixture to produce the solid surface material. | 10-30-2008 |
