A system and a method for coating two sides of a laminate material is disclosed
in which one side of the laminate material is coated with one substance and the
second side is coated with a different substance. The method described is particularly
suited for applying a substance providing characteristics desirable in the manufacturing
process to one side of the laminate material and applying a substance providing
characteristics desirable in the end product to the other side of the laminate
material. For example, a release agent may be applied on one side of a kraft paper
sheet and phenolic resin on the other side, thereby eliminating the need to use
release sheets in the manufacture of laminates. The kraft sheet thus coated may
be used in a laminate product.
