The Process of Paper Impregnation is known as 

Low Pressure Lamination.
To attain attractive and durable surfaces for furniture and flooring, wood based panel
boards are usually overlaid with printed or solid color paper. Such decor paper is
impregnated with melamine and urea resins in specially designed impregnation
treaters.
Impregnation treaters are specially designed for the Process of Resin
Distribution.
Usually, such treaters have two sections: one to saturate the core of the paper with
urea or melamine resin, and the second to coat the paper surface with pure melamine
resin. Both sections consist of an application unit, and a series of drying ovens. The
process requires that the resin be uniformly distributed within the paper core and on
its surface.
High quality paper impregnation is achieved by the right choice of resin and
additives.
High quality paper impregnation is achieved by careful adjustment of the resin
viscosity and line speed, and by the right choice of resin and additives. Specially
designed latent catalysts or hardeners are needed to adjust the resin reactivity.
Uniform penetration and even surface coating is accomplished through the obligatory
use of special purpose wetting agents. Furthermore, it is important to minimize dust
formation in order to achieve a clean and smooth surface. This is usually reached with
the aid of anti-dust and film smoothing agents.
All additives and catalysts are added to the resin right before the impregnation
process.
After drying, the impregnated papers can be stored for several months before being
laminated onto wood based panel boards. During hot-pressing or thermo-fusing, the
resin in the paper softens sufficiently to bond with the substrate. Subsequently, the
resin cures to become a very hard and durable solid that protects the decor
paper. Release agents support the clean separation of the laminated board from the
press plate. Press speed and quality of the surface is determined by the right choice of
resin catalysts / hardener. All additives and catalysts are added to the resin right
before the impregnation process.
Décor paper is made from alpha cellulose-rich pulp, and it can be characterized as technically
advanced and highly engineered specialty paper. These alpha cellulose-based papers are
known as the exclusive base print papers, to which various patterns are applied using gravure
printing processes.  Such décor paper products are widely used in laminated board production
because of their resistance to photo-yellowing (Enzensberger 1961; Rydholm 1965; Tocchio et
al. 1993; Roberts and Evans 2005; Bardak et al. 2011). The decorative paper is impregnated
with thermosetting synthetic resins, which include urea formaldehyde (UF) and melamine
formaldehyde (MF) resins, and converted into a technologically sensitive cellulosic composites
through an impregnation process,

Before being sent for “treatment” every batch undergoes various “quality tests” like wet strength,
absorbency etc. and then taken to the Impregnation process.

The moisture content of paper and paperboard is the quantity of water present and measurable
in paper. This will vary according to the environment and the moisture added during
manufacturing and conversion processes

The moisture content of paper can vary at any given relative humidity depending on whether the
moisture was desorbed (brought into equilibrium from a higher relative humidity) or adsorbed
(brought into equilibrium from a lower relative humidity) - the hysteresis effect.

to the procedure described in this International Standard, to its mass at the time of sampling
