  • Publication number: 20180147882
    Abstract: A method for producing a decorated wall or floor panel, comprises the steps of: providing a pourable carrier material, in particular a granulate; placing the carrier material between two belt-like conveying means; forming the carrier material under the influence of temperature to form a web-shaped carrier; compressing the carrier; treating the carrier under the influence of pressure with use of a twin belt press at a first temperature T1 while forming a first compression factor K1 of the carrier; treating the carrier under the influence of pressure at a second temperature T2 while forming a second compression factor K2 of the carrier, wherein T2<T1 and wherein K2<K1; optionally cooling the carrier; optionally applying a decorative subsurface onto at least part of the carrier; applying a decorative template onto at least part of the carrier; and applying a protective layer onto at least part of the decoration.

  • Patent number: 9434206
    Abstract: For simpler production of a waterproof, decorated wall, ceiling or floor panel with improved quality, the invention proposes a process involving the following steps: provision of a panel-shaped carrier and a non-woven fabric, application of an adhesive to one surface of the carrier or to a surface of the non-woven fabric, lamination of the non-woven fabric by means of the applied adhesive to the surface of the carrier, impregnation of the non-woven fabric with a liquid means, hardening of the impregnating agent, application of a sealing layer as a liquid composition and hardening of the sealing layer and/or application of a top layer as a liquid composition and hardening of the top layer.

  • Publication number: 20150068671
    Abstract: Decorated sheets on the basis of cellulose non-woven fabrics, such as paper, for the production of decorated laminates are impregnated with synthetic resins. Consequently, their sizes are changed, they become brittle and are not water-resistant in the laminate. In the method according to the invention the printed or unprinted non-woven fabrics are impregnated with an aqueous dispersion of a polymer which is cross-linkable by UV radiation, dried and optionally printed and finally irradiated with UV radiation. The decorated sheets thus obtained are water-resistant in the laminate and can be coiled up and stored after each process step.
