A method for the manufacture and decoration of a mineral-filled resin shower tray with an external coating, including the steps of applying an external coating layer on the internal surface of a mould, casting a mix of resin and mineral filler on the mould, curing and drying the mix, and including the prior steps of disposing on the internal surface of the mould cavity a transfer film including on one of the sides thereof a pattern printed in ink, vacuum thermoforming the transfer film against the internal surface of the mould cavity, and the subsequent step of removing the film from the surface of the mineral-filled resin shower tray with an external coating.

A method may be provided for manufacturing a panel that may include a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may have a printed motif and a translucent or transparent synthetic material layer provided above the printed motif. The panel may have a structure or relief at the surface. The method may involve milling profiles into the substrate to obtain mechanical coupling means for coupling together two of the panels. The structure or relief and/or the printed motif may be realized after milling the profiles into the substrate.

The present invention relates to a method for forming a multilayer plastic sheet material for floor and/or wall panels, wherein a first polymer mass comprising a chemically foamed PVC is melted under pressure and is forced through an extruder head at a well-defined discharge rate as a plastic strand in sheet form that is provided with one or more layers so that a multilayer plastic strand is formed, which is propelled towards two or more rolls of a rolling mill, which processes the multilayer plastic strand to a sheet of a defined thickness and where one of the rolls will apply a three-dimensional structure in the top layer. This sheet will then be led away by a discharge device to a sawing device to be cut off to the desired length and width and finally, in a subsequent production step, as multilayer plank-shaped elements, will be provided with coupling parts on two opposite edges so that several of said plank-shaped elements are couplable together.

Methods for producing a transfer film (1), in particular IMD transfer film (1), wherein the following steps are carried out, in particular in the specified order: preparing a carrier ply (3), preparing a transfer ply (2) having a decorative ply (21), wherein the transfer ply (2) has been or is arranged on the carrier ply (3), applying one or more forming elements (40) to the carrier ply (3), wherein the one or more forming elements (40) have a three-dimensional shape and are applied register-accurately with respect to the decorative ply (21).

A method for coating a plastic injection-molded article with the transfer film, as well as the transfer film and the plastic injection-molded article.

The present invention relates to a method of treating PVC plates as well as plates and panels manufactured by this method. Further, the invention relates to plates and panels, in particular wall, ceiling or floor panels, comprising a heat-treated carrier plate (12) based on polyvinyl chloride with a density of, for example, 900 to 2,500 kg/m.sup.3 and a film (17) applied thereon. The film is a thin PVC-film and comprises a decorative pattern (18) directly printed thereon.

The disclosure relates to a foamed floor with wood texture. It belongs to the technical field of co-extruded foam plate. It includes a foam matrix and a hard surface layer including (a) and (b); (a): a first exposed surface, a connecting substrate and a base layer formed by the first color resin; (b): a second exposed surface and a connecting substrate formed by the second color resin. The first exposed surface is composed of a plurality of exposed units, and the second exposed surface is composed of a plurality of sunken units. The exposed units and the sunken units are arranged alternately. A connecting unit is arranged between the adjacent exposed unit and the sunken unit, and it's composed of the connecting substrate and a connecting profile. The disclosure uses resin as a material, is based on two surface layers, and realizes the realistic effect of wood texture through some levels of expressions such as three-dimensional (depth of texture), color difference, brightness etc. It can also realize a variety of wood textures by adjusting the three-dimensional, chromatic aberration, and brightness.

A vehicle component includes a colored translucent plastic component having a front side and a back side, and a metallic layer arranged on the back side of the plastic component.

This document describes systems and processes for forming synthetic molded slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

A method for producing a decorated mineral composite body, a decorated mineral composite body and the use of a multilayer film for producing a decorated mineral composite body.
