Photocurable compositions

A method for preparing tiles with a 3D texture, comprising:

• forming the tiles employing a mould equipped with a die prepared by a process
• comprising the steps of:
• I) providing a photocurable composition containing:
• a) from 70 to 99% by weight (% wt) of at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound;
• and
• b) from 1 to 12% wt of at least one photoinitiator;
• II) applying the photocurable composition onto the surface of a base-die to form a film with a three dimensional pattern;
• and
• III) photocuring the photocurable composition by exposing the surface of the base-die to light having a wavelength of from 200 to 600 nm to provide the 3D texture on the die for tile forming;
• with the proviso that the film, obtained by photocuring 200 g/m2 of the photocurable composition on a steel plate, has an elastic hardness of from about 50 to about 300 sec determined according to the standard method ISO 1522:2006.
