Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a method of covering a substrate.
  • a method of covering a substrate, in particular for manufacturing a floor panel, by means of a laminating process is known in the art.
  • a laminating process one or more resin-impregnated paper sheets are placed on a substrate and the entire stack is pressed at elevated temperature.
  • One of the paper sheets may be provided with a decorative pattern. Due to hot pressing the resin flows to the substrate and after cooling down the resulting product the one or more paper sheets are adhered to the substrate.
  • a disadvantage of such a conventional laminating technique is that the method must be performed at relatively high pressure and temperature.
  • conventional laminating techniques appear to provide inferior adherence quality between certain combinations of films and substrates due to less compatible materials, for example a PVC sheet on a substrate including an ink pattern on its surface.
  • a relatively high temperature such as in case of a conventional laminating process may deteriorate a decorative pattern on the substrate, in particular in case of a decorative pattern of UV curable ink.
  • EP 1 203 657 is related to a translucent decorative board for use, e.g., as a window pane, light shade, partition or door pane.
  • the decorative board is comprised of a translucent substrate board and translucent cover sheets bonded to the surfaces of the substrate board.
  • the substrate board is generally thermoplastic and the decorative cover sheets are thermosetting.
  • the thermosetting sheet may comprise a substrate paper sheet and a thermosetting resin impregnated in the sheet.
  • DE 10 2004 034 790 is related to a method for producing a decorative coating material, in particular, a foil which method involves coating a printed paper or a printed plastic carrier material with a base layer containing an abrasive filler and resins hardenable by radiation, application of a decorative cover layer containing a resin hardenable by radiation, and hardening and/or reticulation of the two combined layers by ultraviolet radiation and/or electron bombardment.
  • EP 2 708 375 is related to a method of decorating a panel which method comprises the steps of supplying a panel to a carrier, performing at least a first printing step by means of a first printing module and performing a second printing step by means of a second printing module, wherein the first and second printing steps are performed according to a predetermined positional relationship to form the decorated panel, and wherein during and between first and second printing steps the panel is held at a substantially fixed position with respect to the carrier.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved method of covering a substrate.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the steps of supplying a substrate, a curable substance and a substantially air-tight transparent film, applying a decorative pattern on at least one of the substrate and the film, forming a stack of the substrate, the substance and the film, wherein the substance is sandwiched between the substrate and the film, bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other, curing the substance by means of radiation through the transparent film and fixing the substance to the film and the substrate.
  • the transparency and composition of the film correspond to the type of radiation that is used. It is noted that the method is not finalized by removing the film, but the resulting product includes the film. Removing the film will be difficult or even impossible without damaging the surface of the cured substance.
  • An advantage of the method according to the invention is that the process can be performed at relatively low temperature.
  • the method may be performed at room temperature, i.e. below 30 °C, or below 50 °C. This means that also substrates and films can be used which are sensitive to severe thermal conditions.
  • the curable substance forms a layer between the substrate and the film. Due to the air-tightness of the film it functions as a barrier against oxygen transfer through the transparent film. This means that local inert conditions at the curable substance are created. Therefore, an inert radiation chamber for creating inert conditions for the entire stack is not required.
  • the method can be performed at minimal pressure or without pressure; bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other is sufficient to minimize presence of air between the film and the substrate.
  • the pressure, if applied is far below the level that is applied in conventional laminating techniques such as DPL and HPL, for example below 20 kg/m 2 .
  • the method according to the invention provides the opportunity to laminate materials which are less compatible in conventional laminating techniques such as a PVC sheet on HDF, or a PVC sheet on a substrate including an ink pattern; it is known, for example, that conventional laminating at elevated temperature of a PVC sheet on UV curable ink may lead to inferior adherence quality.
  • the curable substance may comprise a synthetic resin which is polymerized during the radiation treatment, more specifically via free radical polymerization. Radiation generates radicals in the substance. Since the chemical affinity between a radical and oxygen is higher than the affinity of the radicals with each other inert conditions are advantageous.
  • the step of radiation may be performed by UV radiation, X-ray radiation, laser radiation, electron beam radiation, visible light, infrared, or the like. If curing is performed by means of UV light the curable substance may contain photoinitiators for initiating free radical polymerization. In particular, mercury-free UV LEDs appear to be appropriate because of their advantageous penetration characteristics into the curable substance. In case of using electron beam radiation photoinitiators are not required.
  • the transparency and/or composition of the film correspond to the type of radiation that is used.
  • the film should be transparent for electron beam radiation, but may be opaque for visible light.
  • a decorative pattern below the film should be visible the film must be transparent for visible light, as well.
  • the method has a further advantage compared to conventional laminating techniques in that a resin impregnated paper sheet or conventional glue can be omitted between the film and the substrate. Hence, any loss of transparency due to the manufacturing process, such as in case of applying a resin impregnated overlay paper, is minimized. Nevertheless, the method according to the invention may be applied for laminating a film, for example made of PVC, on a resin impregnated substrate when using a compatible curable substance between the film and the resin impregnated substrate.
  • the substance may contain additives for improving its properties during the step of applying it between the substrate and the film, for example plasticizers, fillers, or the like.
  • the substance may also have further functional properties, for example for improving acoustic characteristics of the resulting product. It may also have anti-static properties or UV-filtering properties for protecting an underlying decorative pattern, or the like.
  • the resulting product may be a panel suitable for a floor, wall or ceiling covering or alternative coverings.
  • the product may also be a panel that is suitable for furniture, or the like.
  • the transparent film may be coloured or decorated but should be sufficiently transparent to pass the radiation. It is noted that transparency is related to the type of radiation; in case of applying electron beam radiation curing the film may be opaque for visible light radiation, but must be transparent for electron beam radiation. Furthermore, the film should not be degenerated under influence of the radiation, for example becoming brittle. Of course, if additional layers are applied these should be sufficient transparent, as well.
  • a balancing layer may be applied on the substrate at the side opposite to the side which is provided with the decorative pattern.
  • the stack may be formed by first applying the substance on the substrate, and then placing the film on the substance. It is also possible to apply the curable substance first onto the film, and then laying the substrate and the film including the curable substance onto each other. Alternatively, the curable substance is applied both onto the film and the substrate, after which the substrate and the film including the curable substance are laid onto each other.
  • the contact surfaces of the film and the curable substance and/or the contact surfaces of the curable substance and the substrate should be compatible to each other.
  • the contact surfaces of the film and the substrate may be slightly rough such that the curable substance partly enters into the contact surfaces and adheres thereto upon curing.
  • one or more additional adhesive layers may be applied between the curable substance and the substrate and/or between the curable substance and the film for attaching the respective parts to each other.
  • the additional layers may be cured by other treatments than radiation, for example by thermal treatment.
  • the method may be carried out as a continuous process wherein the step of bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other is performed by means of calandering or rollers.
  • the step of bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other may be performed by a low-pressure or no pressure laminating process, wherein the pressure is lower than 20 kg/m 2 .
  • the decorative pattern may comprise an ink pattern. This may be printed on the substrate and/or the film by means of contact or non-contact printing, preferably by means of a digital printer. Alternative printing means are also possible.
  • the decorative pattern may also be printed on a separate sheet that is attached to the substrate before, after or during printing. Numerous types of patterns are conceivable, for example a wood pattern, stone pattern, etc.
  • the substrate may be pretreated for improving the adherence of the decorative pattern to the substrate, for example a surface treatment such as plasma-treatment or applying a primer, or the like.
  • the ink pattern may be dried before it contacts the substance, but not fully cured yet, for example, in case of a UV curable ink. Curing of the ink may occur at the same time as curing of the substance, but in practice the ink will be dried at least partially before contacting the substance and entirely curing the ink and the substance.
  • the transparent film may be provided with a surface texture.
  • the surface texture may be applied during the step of bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other, but it is also conceivable that a film including a surface texture is supplied. In the latter case the surface texturing can be applied in a separate process and a relatively deep and sharp embossment is possible, whereas the embossment remains stable during the method of covering the substrate. Besides, an efficient process in terms of energy consumption is provided.
  • the calander may be provided with a textured surface.
  • the method according to the invention allows a relatively simple embossing-in-register process compared to a thermal lamination process.
  • Embossing-in-register in this case can be performed more accurately than in conventional laminating processes in which a resin-impregnated paper sheet is provided with a decorative pattern, since the position of the pattern on the paper sheet varies due to the impregnation, in practice.
  • the air-tight transparent film can be aligned with the substrate on which the decorative pattern is applied.
  • the transparent film may be made of PVC or an alternative wear-resistant material. This means that the resulting product may be a panel that is suitable as a floor panel. Additionally, the film may contain anti-wear particles such as corundum particles, glass beads, silica or the like.
  • the curable substance may be applied by means of screen printing, roller printing, spraying, curtain coating or the like.
  • the thickness of the substance may be in a range from 20 to 500 ⁇ m, but a larger or smaller thickness is conceivable.
  • the viscosity may be within a range from 150 centipoise to 500 poise at 20°C and more preferably within a range from 10 to 50 poise at 20°C.
  • the substance may be a pasty liquid.
  • the thickness of the transparent film may be in a range from 5 to 1000 ⁇ m, but a larger or smaller thickness is conceivable.
  • the substrate may be rigid or flexible such that the resulting product may comprise a panel which is rigid or flexible, respectively. It may be made of wood-based material like MDF, HDF, WPC, or vinyl, metal, glass, stone, ceramic, textile, non-woven fabric, polymeric composite or the like. Furthermore, the substrate may be a flexible thin sheet such that the resulting product itself can be an intermediate product that can be attached to a second substrate.
  • the resulting product forms a so-called hybrid product, wherein the substrate is rigid and the film and/or the cured substance is/are elastic or reversed.
  • Conventional laminating techniques including relatively high pressure and temperature are less suitable for manufacturing such hybrid products.
  • a sublimation agent can be applied on the side of the air-tight transparent film which is directed to the curable substance. Then, the film can be pressed at a low pressure level on the curable substance and heat can be supplied so as to transfer the sublimation agent towards the substrate.
  • a calander it may comprise a heated roller or a heated engraved cylinder.
  • the curable substance can be cured by means of radiation as described above.
  • the film can be made of PVC on which the sublimation can be printed at a relatively low resolution. Upon the step of sublimation the agent slightly diverges during travelling towards the substrate. Consequently, the printed pattern is smoothened after sublimation.
  • the decorative pattern may be applied on a side of the film facing the substrate. Additionally, the opposite side of the film may be provided with a layer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The latter layer may be applied before or after the step of bringing the film, the substance and the substrate in close contact to each other.
  • TPU belongs to a class of polyurethane plastics with many useful properties, including elasticity, transparency and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. Technically, they are thermoplastic elastomers consisting of linear segmented block copolymers composed of hard and soft segments.
  • the substrate may comprise a decorative sheet, such as a paper sheet, on which the decorative pattern is applied, wherein the decorative sheet absorbs at least a part of the substance.
  • the absorption properties of the decorative sheet and the material properties of the curable substance can be selected such that a desired level of penetration of the substance into the decorative sheet can be achieved before the step of curing the substance.
  • the number of layers of the stack may be extended.
  • a second radiation-curable substance and a second substrate is supplied, wherein the stack is extended by the second substrate and a layer of the second substance which is sandwiched between the substrate and the second substrate, wherein the substances are cured by means of radiation through the transparent film and the substances are fixed to the film, the substrate and the second substrate.
  • the second radiation-curable substance between the substrate and the second substrate may be the same as the curable substance between the transparent film and the decorative sheet.
  • the second substrate may be rigid or flexible and/or thicker than the substrate, for example a board of HDF, but numerous other types of substrates are conceivable.
  • the decorative sheet can absorb the curable substance at its side facing the transparent film, whereas the opposite side facing the second substrate can absorb the second curable substance before the step of curing and fixing.
  • the material properties of the layers can be selected such that the radiation for curing reaches both substances. For example, electron beam radiation can penetrate relatively deeply such that both substances can be cured synchronously which appears to provide a surprisingly advantageous method of covering a substrate.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
  • the method is performed as a continuous process.
  • a substrate 1 in the form of a continuous sheet is supplied at the left side in Fig. 1 and transported from left to right.
  • the substrate 1 passes a printing station 2 where a decorative pattern 3 is printed on the substrate 1. This may be performed by means of contact printing, non-contact printing, roller printing, inkjet printing, or the like.
  • a curable substance 5 in the form of a (pasty) liquid is applied onto the substrate 1 including the decorative pattern 3.
  • an air-tight transparent film 6 is supplied and placed on the layer of curable substance 5 and pressed at a low pressure level thereon by means of a calander 7.
  • the curable substance 5 is still in a liquid and non-cured or partly-cured state.
  • the curable substance 5 is cured by means of radiation which is transferred through the transparent film 6. It is also possible to apply the curable substance 5 onto both the substrate 1 and the film 6 or onto the film 6 only.
  • an upper surface of the substrate 1 on which the decorative pattern 3 is printed may be pre-treated, for example by means of applying a primer.
  • the calander 7 may have a textured surface such that the resulting product obtains an embossment. Such a texture may coincide with the decorative pattern 3 in order to achieve embossing-in-register. Alternatively, the film 6 has already a textured surface before it is supplied to the calander 7.
  • the resulting product at the end of the illustrated method in Fig. 1 is a large board which is cut in separate panels. Subsequently, the edges of the separate panels may be provided with locking means, for example tongues and grooves, in order to create a covering by locking similar panels to each other.
