Abstract
A method to produce a wear resistant foil, including providing a first foil including a first thermoplastic material, applying wear resistant particles and a second thermoplastic material form on the first foil, and adhering the first foil to the second thermoplastic binder and the wear resistant particles to form a wear resistant foil.
Claims36
A method to produce a wear resistant foil, comprising:
- providing a first foil comprising a first thermoplastic material,
- applying wear resistant particles and a second thermoplastic material on the first foil, the second thermoplastic material being applied in powder form;
- and
- adhering the first foil to the second thermoplastic material and the wear resistant particles and adhering the wear resistant particles to the second thermoplastic material to form the wear resistant foil, wherein
- the adhering of first foil to the second thermoplastic material and the wear resistant particles and the adhering of the wear resistant particles to the second thermoplastic material are by pressing, and
- the wear resistant particles have an average particle size larger than a thickness of the second thermoplastic material after the pressing of the second thermoplastic material.

A method to produce a building panel, comprising:
- providing a core,
- applying a first foil comprising a first thermoplastic material on the core,
- applying wear resistant particles and a second thermoplastic material on the first foil, the second thermoplastic material being applied in powder form, and
- adhering the core to the first foil and to the second thermoplastic material and the wear resistant particles collectively to one another to form a building panel by pressing the core, the first foil, the wear resistant particles, the second thermoplastic material together, wherein
- the wear resistant particles protrude into the first foil of the formed building panel due to the pressing.
