Study on Innovative Laminated Flooring with Resin-Impregnated Paper

Abstract

A new type of laminated flooring decorated by resin impregnated paper (LWFWRIP) was designed, with the advantages of low formaldehyde emission, improved flame retardant, and high wear resistance. The structure of this new type of wood flooring is based on the ordinary laminated flooring, followed by a decorative layer of thin wood pieces, and then the transparent improved flame retardant, wear-resistant paper is added to the top. It is found that the hot-pressing temperature is the most significant factor affecting the adhesion of resin impregnated paper. The optimal hot-pressing parameters are selected as the hot-pressing pressure of 3.5 MPa, hot-pressing temperature of 180 °C, and hot-pressing time of 40 s. The new laminated flooring was improved with high flame retardant, high wear-resistant, combined with the conventional advantages of both solid wood composite flooring and reinforced wood flooring. The new laminated flooring decorated by resin impregnated paper has broad application prospects.
