Abstract: A method for making a floor or wall panel has a foamed polymer core. A foamable polymer powder is foamed between two conveyor belts in the forming zone of a steel belt press. The sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the layers at the entrance of the steel belt press is less than or equal to the opening of the steel belt press at the entrance of the steel belt press. The sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the substrate at the outlet of the steel belt press is equal to the opening of the steel belt press at the outlet of the steel belt press and greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the layers at the entrance of the steel belt press.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing films as substrate in inkjet printing from a composition containing a polyvinyl chloride as polymeric base by admixing a filler coated with a polysiloxane and/or a polysiloxane wherein the composition manufactured into a film, the film is embossed and the film temperature during embossing is set to not more than 70° C. for high resolution and to at least 70° C. for printing large areas in uniform colour. The invention is also directed to the films obtained thereby.

Abstract: The flexible photovoltaic module (1) with good external fire performance comprises photovoltaic cells (1c) on plastic substrate and plastic sheet or adhesive layer (1d) under cell based on polyolefin, and/or copolymer of ethylene or propylene with vinyl acetate or (meth)acrylates or neutralized acrylic acids (ionomers). The plastic sheet or adhesive layer contains at least 50 (preferably 100) g/m2 halogenated (preferably brominated) flame retardant. The layers above plastic sheet allow release of flame poisoning substances coming from plastic sheet when fire is set to module.
