Decorative floor covering production method

A method of producing a decorative floor covering, comprising:

• providing a wear layer;
• providing an adhesive, the adhesive being a radiation-curable composition;
• forming a core structure, the formation of the core structure comprising at least one of:
• a. extrusion of a single plastic layer, the plastic layer being compatible with said adhesive;
• b. coextrusion of at least two adjacent plastic layers, at least one of at least two adjacent plastic layers being compatible with said adhesive;
• c. extrusion of a plastic layer or coextrusion of at least two plastic layers, followed by application of a plastisol coating thereon, the plastisol coating being compatible, after curing, with said adhesive;
• and
• d. extrusion of a plastic layer or coextrusion of at least two plastic layers, followed by application of a primer layer thereon, the primer layer being compatible with said adhesive;
• digitally printing the adhesive on a printing substrate thus generating an adhesive layer forming an at least one-dimensionally patterned decorative motif, the adhesive being a radiation-curable composition, the printing substrate including one of the core structure and the wear layer;
• contacting the adhesive layer on the printing substrate with the other one of said core structure and said wear layer;
• and
• attaching the printing substrate and the other one of said core structure and said wear layer to each other by electron-beam curing said adhesive layer.
