A pre-impregnated decorative base paper for decorative coating materials, comprising biopolymer nanoparticles.

The invention relates to a component having a plate-shaped or profile-shaped support and a decorative surface layer connected to the support, the surface layer being formed of thermally curable resin and comprising a three-dimensional surface structure that is produced by embossing and is irregular. According to the invention, in order to inexpensively obtain a decorative surface which has good wear resistance and largely prevents disturbing finger prints, the surface structure comprises regions that are alternately ordered and non-ordered and that are formed by a ribbed and/or grooved structure, ordered regions having parallel and/or quasi-parallel ribs and/or parallel and/or quasi-parallel grooves being interrupted by non-ordered regions or structural breaks, and the width of the respective rib or groove being in the range of from 0.5 μm to 100 μm. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a component of this type using a corresponding embossing tool is disclosed and claimed.

A casing component according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a decorating film and a casing part. The decorating film is formed on a base film by vapor deposition and includes a metal layer, fine cracks being formed in the metal layer by stretching the base film. The casing part has a decorated region, the decorating film being adhered to the decorated region.

A multi-layer decorating element includes a base and a plurality of plates forming decorative elements. The base has a length between the first and second ends thereof and an increased width from the first end to the second end. The first end of the base is curved. The second end of the base is divided by a gap into two segments. The gap has a closed end and an open end. The open end is disposed at the second end of the base. The closed end has a smaller width than the open end. The plurality of plates includes a side with a hot melt glue layer and is hot pressed on a side of the base. The plurality of plates is disposed within peripheral edges of the base and includes a plurality of overlapped sections. The plurality of plates has different shapes.

A process for applying an anti-fragmentation system to manufactured articles made of natural stone or ceramic, and a respective manufactured article equipped with such an anti-fragmentation system, which is provided with at least one retaining member having an adhesive surface, and a manufactured article in the form of a slab and having a first, visible surface with a respective ornamental appearance, and a second, non-visible surface opposite to said first surface; the retaining member is associated with the manufactured article by joining the adhesive surface to said second surface.

A display board has a foam core with elastomeric properties with a first display layer affixed on one side and optionally a second display layer affixed on a second side. The elastic foam core can have a closed cell structure and be made from a thermoplastic. The display layers can be heat welded directly to the respective sides of the core with or without additional use of adhesive or the layers can be attached via adhesive only and not heat. The foam core has a Shore 00 hardness of 20-100.

The decorative panel includes a substrate and a top layer. The substrate has at least one of polyvinyl chloride layer. The top layer includes a decorative textile layer providing the surface of the decorative panel. The top layer is laminated onto the substrate by thermal bonding of the top layer onto the substrate; or by a polyvinyl chloride based adhesive layer. The substrate is provided at a first pair of opposite edges with coupling parts, substantially in the form of male coupling parts and female coupling parts, for coupling two such panels to each other at their first pair of opposite edges. The coupling parts are provided with locking means which effects a locking in coupled condition of two such panels in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the coupled panels and/or into the direction perpendicular to the respective edges in the plane of the panels.

A thermo-adhesive multilayer film based on thermoplastic polyurethane includes a barrier layer having a material with anti-dye migration properties selected from: ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyamides, cellulose derivatives, polyvinylidene chloride and combinations. The barrier layer is interposed between two layers, each having a mixture of a thermoplastic polyurethane with a compatibilizing agent selected from: co-polymers modified with maleic anhydride, co-polymers modified with epoxy groups, co-polymers containing hydroxyl groups and combinations thereof. A decorative multilayer film includes the thermo-adhesive multilayer film and a further decorative layer, which provides an aesthetic effect. A process of co-extruding the layers obtains the thermo-adhesive multilayer film and the subsequent bonding thereof with the decorative layer obtains the decorative multilayer film. The decorative multilayer film decorates substrates in the field of textiles, clothing, footwear and accessories. A finished decorated article includes a substrate on which the decorative multilayer film is applied.

A method for manufacturing a laminate assembly may involve providing a decorative paper, impregnating the decorative paper with a first thermosetting resin, and laminating the resin provided decorative paper on a substrate. The decorative paper may be impregnated with a second thermosetting resin before being laminated.

Provided is a heat-resistant shrinkable adhesive film capable of reducing or preventing defects such as shrinkage when exposed to a high temperature even when bonded in a highly stretched state. A heat-resistant shrinkable adhesive film according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes (A) an acid functional group-containing (meth)acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of about 25° C. or lower, and (B) an acid or base functional group-containing (meth)acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of about 50° C. or higher, the mixing ratio of the component (A) being larger than the mixing ratio of the component (B), and the adhesive film including an adhesive layer with a crosslinked structure derived from a metal coordination bond crosslinking agent and can be stretched to an area magnification of 4 times or more
