Textured release sheet and method of making textured decorative laminates therewith

摘要

A method of making a polypropylene textured release sheet for use in texturing decorative laminates, includes providing the polypropylene release sheet with texturing during the initial making of the sheet, while the polypropylene is still above its softening temperature. A decorative laminate lay-up includes a plurality of thermosetting resin impregnated layers having a top layer, with the textured polypropylene release sheet oriented adjacent the top layer. A method of forming a textured decorative laminate includes application of heat and pressure to the lay-up sufficient to form a textured decorative laminate.
