Estimating the term…
The present invention is enclosed in the area of panels for structural and decorative surfaces, in particular panels containing polymer-based materials, suitable for the coating of surfaces, for example, and containing such polymer-based materials in the respective layers. The present invention may relate to the integration of polymer granules, recycled or unrecycled, being particularly relevant when the granules are obtained from end-of-life polymer-based materials, for instance obtained from car tires into the core of compact laminate boards. It is therefore an object of the present invention a composite panel (100) for structural and decorative surfaces wherein it comprises a core panel, the core panel (10) comprising a mixture of granules of a polymeric material and a bonding element (1), the bonding element providing for the bonding of the granules of a polymeric material.
A composite panel for structural and decorative surfaces wherein the composite panel comprises
A method for obtaining a composite panel for coating of a surface comprising forming a core panel from a mixture of granules of a polymeric material and a bonding element, the bonding element providing bonding of the granules of the polymeric material, wherein forming of the core panel is obtained by pressing the mixture of granules of the polymeric material and the bonding element against at least one sheet of paper and thereby obtaining the core panel, and further arranging a décor layer on such core panel, and the at least one sheet of paper consists of dry or resin impregnated kraft paper, the method further comprising pressing a high pressure laminate (HPL) layer against the core panel, the HPL comprising the décor layer.
