Panel for forming a floor covering and method for manufacturing such panels
A panel that includes at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate substantially consists of three layers, including a lowermost layer, a central layer and an uppermost layer, all made from thermoplastic material. Additionally, the thermoplastic material of the lower most layer and the uppermost layer is more rigid than the thermoplastic material of the central layer.
VEHICULAR LUMINOUS LAMINATED GLAZED ROOF, VEHICLE INCORPORATING SAME AND MANUFACTURE
A luminous laminated glazed roof of a vehicle includes a first glazing, forming an exterior glazing, with first and second main faces; a lamination interlayer made of polymeric material of thickness e1 of at most 1.8 mm; a second glazing, forming an interior glazing, with third and fourth main faces, the second and third main faces being the internal faces of the laminated glazing; a lamination interlayer with through or blind apertures housing diodes; and collimating optics between the diodes and the third main face.
MULTI-LAYERED SHEET SUITABLE AS FLOOR OR WALL COVERING EXHIBITING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL RELIEF AND A DECORATIVE IMAGE
The present invention relates to a multi-layered sheet suitable as floor or wall covering exhibiting a three-dimensional surface relief and a decorative image, comprising: i. a support layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; ii. a foamed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the foamed layer provided adjacent, and adherent to the upper surface of the support layer, the upper surface of the foamed layer comprising a discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern, wherein the discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern comprises indentations formed by single or stacked dots of a digitally printed material comprising a foam inhibiting agent; and optionally iii. a decorative layer adhered to the upper surface of the foamed layer; and optionally iv. at least one wear resistant layer provided adjacent and adhered to the decorative layer; and optionally v. a backing layer provided adjacent and adhered to the lower surface of the support layer.
LIGHT-WEIGHT, HIGH STIFFNESS GLASS LAMINATE STRUCTURE
A laminate structure having a first chemically strengthened glass layer, a second chemically strengthened glass layer, and a polymer interlayer structure intermediate the first and second glass layers. The polymer interlayer structure can include a first polymeric layer adjacent to the first glass layer, a second polymeric layer adjacent to the second glass layer, and a polymeric rigid core intermediate the first and second polymeric layers.
MESS-FREE COLORING SYSTEM
A mess-free coloring system comprising a coloring medium and optionally one or more coloring utensils is disclosed. The coloring medium can include a substrate with or without decorative effects and one or more coating layers on a surface of the substrate. In various examples, the one or more coating layers include a color-triggering developer, e.g., in the form of a substantially clear resin, and an opaque pigment. Decorative effects integrated with or disposed on the substrate, while initially obscured by the one or more coating layers, can be revealed when the coating layers are mixed with at least one color precursor stored and dispensed from a coloring utensil. The opaque pigment is selected and configured such that, upon receipt of at least one color precursor by the one or more coating layers, a change in the pigment's reflective index occurs as the pigment dissolves into the clear resin developer.
PANEL
A panel having side edges for connection to a further panel in order to cover a surface of a room, includes an upper side, an underside, and at least four side edges. The panel has a multilayer structure including an elastic base layer, made entirely or predominantly of an elastically adjusted polyurethane, and above the base layer a top layer which compared to the base layer is less elastic. The top layer is pressed via an adhesive layer with the base layer to form the multi-layer structure.
PANEL FOR FORMING A FLOOR COVERING AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH PANELS
A panel including at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate includes three layers, including a lowermost layer, a central layer and an uppermost layer, all made from thermoplastic material, where the thermoplastic material of the central layer is more rigid than the thermoplastic material of the lower most layer and the uppermost layer.
UV inkjet printing of vision control panels
This invention concerns vision control panels and a method of UV inkjet printing vision control panels. A substantially imperforate light permeable material is partially printed with a print pattern comprising a base layer and a design layer comprising a design colour layer. The method is limited to digital UV inkjet printing of all the superimposed layers required to make such panels. Optionally, the method uses a novel printhead array with a novel order of ink color supply and/or novel software to enable the required build-up of ink layers, for example of black, optional silver, white, cyan, magenta, yellow and process black colors. Printing is preferably arranged so that the base layer and design color layer are printed in the minimum number of passes of the printhead assembly of the digital UV inkjet printer to achieve the desired effect, preferably in one pass of the printhead assembly.
DIRECTLY PRINTED PANEL HAVING A TWO-LAYER DESIGN
A panel and a method for manufacturing of such a panel with a carrier plate, comprising a front side and a back side, and wherein the carrier plate comprises a layer system at least at the front side that is built from various polymer layers with different hardness values.
DIRECTLY PRINTED PANEL HAVING A TWO-LAYER DESIGN
