Abstract: The present invention concerns a printing ink for a polyolefin polymer-based support, comprising at least a binder and at least a pigment, said binder being an oxidized polyolefin wax emulsified in water, said wax having a Brookfield viscosity less than 5000 mPa·s at 150° C. and acidity between 28 and 32 mg KOH/g, the viscosity of said ink being less than 2000 mPa·s at 25° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making a ground coating made of a thermoplastic material, that comprises the steps of (a) depositing a layer of a liquid component on a substrate, the liquid component being selected from a plastisol, an organosol or an SBR rubber emulsion, (b) powdering solid particles on the liquid component layer, and (c) applying press heat in order to form a ground coating having a smooth surface. The invention also relates to a device for obtaining such coatings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lining method and a lining installation for the production of multi-layer products which are used, for example, to produce floor or wall coverings or interior trim for passenger transport vehicles, such as cars, railroad cars, ship cabins and aircraft cockpits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a decorative surface covering obtainable by a vulcanisable composition, said composition comprising a first polymer component consisting of styrene butadiene styrene block copolymer (SBS); a second polymer component selected from the group consisting of a random or partially random copolymer of butadiene and styrene (SBR), and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR); a third polymer component consisting of a high styrene content styrene butadiene copolymer (HSR), a filler, a vulcanisation system and additives selected from the group consisting of processing aids, stabilizers, pigments and compatibilizers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a surface covering panel including a first edge with a groove inclusive first coupling means, a second opposite edge with a tongue inclusive second coupling means, the coupling means enabling coupling of two panels, a mechanical locking means integrated into at least one of the coupling means which, when two panels are coupled, is configured to prevent these panels from moving apart, the coupling means being designed for coupling essentially without elastic deformation, wherein at least one part of the surface of at least one of the coupling means includes a repositionable adhesive configured to create bonds between the coupling means that are multiply breakable and re-bondable, wherein a breaking of the bonds on disassembly of the panels results in a chemical click designed to indicate decoupling to a user.

Abstract: The invention concerns a panel (10), in particular a floor covering panel, comprising tongue (26?) and groove (24) mating means designed for angular interlocking essentially free of elastic deformation. At least one of the mating means is provided, on at least one part of its surface, with an adhesive deposit (39?, 40?) capable of being repositioned designed to secure the panels together when they are assembled. The adhesive capable of being repositioned provides a clicking effect and enables the panels to be assembled/disassembled several times.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of upgrading a composite material containing fibrous matter and non-fibrous plastic matter. The inventive method includes the following steps consisting in: cooling the composite material to a temperature of between ?40° C. and +10° C., grinding the cooled composite material in order to disconnect the fibrous matter from the non-fibrous plastic matter; and separating the fibrous matter from the non-fibrous plastic matter.
