The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to at least a part of a surface of a coating (B2), using a composite (F1B1) composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), where the coating (B2) and the coating (B1) of the composite (F1B1) have embossed structures which are mirror images of one another. Also described herein is a composite (B2B1F1). Further described herein is a use of this composite for producing an at least partially embossed coating (B2) in the form of a free film or a composite (B2KF2) composed of a substrate (F2), at least one adhesive (K), and the coating (B2).

The present invention relates to a door skin comprising an exterior surface having outer portions lying on a first plane, spaced grooves recessed from the plane of the outer portions, and tonal portions having a planar area and a plurality of spaced depressions recessed from the plane of said planar area. The present invention is also directed to a method of etching a plate, for use with a molded die set, for embossing a wood grain pattern in the door skin, and the etched plate formed therefrom.

Laminate panel, which consists at least of a substrate, a decor and a transparent synthetic material layer, wherein the synthetic material layer is provided with a relief with elongate recesses, wherein the recesses have a cross-section with inclined flank portions, the inclination of which is more than 60 and less than 90, and that the maximum depth over which said flank portions extend is larger than the maximum distance between the respective flank portions, measured in transverse direction and parallel to the plane of said panel.

A method for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate, a device for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate, a female die and/or a male die for use in a device, and to a method for producing a female die and/or a male die. The method for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate in a work station including an embossing roller and a counter-pressure roller includes the following steps: a) preparing the substrate; b) blind embossing the substrate by means of at least one female die provided on the embossing roller and at least one male die provided on the counter-pressure roller. The device for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate has a work station having an embossing roller and a counter-pressure roller, at least one female die being provided on the embossing roller and at least one male die being provided on the counter-pressure roller.

A surfacing material includes a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an electron beam radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic laid upon the substrate. The epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is irradiated with UV-radiation to produce a UV-radiation layer wherein the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is neither hardened nor is an entire layer of the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic crosslinked but rather the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

Embodiments of the disclosure set forth an embosser for a die. The embosser includes a frame having two sides. The embosser includes a handle and a roller body. The roller body includes a first roller in contact with the die and a second roller. In response to the handle being moved toward the roller body to a first handle position, the first roller is moved toward a first edge of the die and the second roller is in contact with the die. In response to the handle being moved toward the roller body to a second handle position from the first handle position, the first roller and the second roller remain in contact with the die and further press the die.

A method for embossing a nanostructure, formed on a nanostructure punch, into a punch surface of a curable material which has been applied to a substrate. The method includes the following steps, especially following sequence: alignment of the nanostructure relative to the punch surface, embossing of the punch surface by a) prestressing of the nanostructure punch by deformation of the nanostructure punch and/or prestressing of the substrate by deformation of the substrate, b) making contact of a partial area of the punch surface with the nanostructure punch and c) automatic contacting of the remaining surface at least partially, especially predominantly, by the prestressing of the nanostructure punch and/or the prestressing of the substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to a surface of a coating composition (B2a), which includes the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) and also the steps (3) and optionally (4), where the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) are performed using a composite (F1B1) which is employed as an embossing die (p2) of an embossing tool (P2) and which is composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), and the coating composition (B1a) used for producing (B1) of the composite (F1B1) is a radiation-curable coating composition of defined constitution. Also described herein is a composite (F1B1).

A sheet material comprises a recessed part and a non-recessed part which are formed on a surface side of a cushion base material. The sheet material comprises a gradual changing part in which a height H changes gradually across the recessed part and the non-recessed part. The sheet material may comprise an obtuse angle face portion formed on a near part to a bottom of the recessed part which comprises a wide angle face portion formed on a near part to the non-recessed part. In a producing method of the sheet material, an embossing mold material comprises an embossing gradual changing part in which a depth D changes gradually across an embossing projected part and an embossing non-projected part. The embossing mold material is pressed in a situation where the embossing projected part and the embossing gradual changing part are abutting to a surface side of a cushion base material.
