Manufacturing methods of decorative surfaces

A method for manufacturing decorative surfaces including the steps of:

• inkjet printing an image on a first thermoplastic foil by jetting and curing one or more pigmented free radical curable inkjet inks on the first thermoplastic foil;
• applying and curing a free radical curable liquid as an adhesive layer on the inkjet printed image;
• and
• heat pressing the first thermoplastic foil with a second thermoplastic foil into a decorative laminate,
• wherein at least one of the first and second thermoplastic foils is a transparent thermoplastic foil;
• wherein the one or more pigmented free radical curable inkjet inks include a colour pigment and a polymerizable composition containing 10 to 90 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds;
• wherein the free radical curable liquid includes a polymerizable composition containing 15 wt % or more of polyfunctional polymerizable compounds and 15 wt % or more of a monofunctional polymerizable compound A or B;
• wherein all weight percentages wt % are based upon the total weight of the polymerizable composition in the pigmented free radical curable inkjet ink or the polymerizable composition in the free radical curable liquid;
• wherein monofunctional polymerizable compound A is a compound according to Formula (1):
• wherein R is hydrogen or a methyl group;
• X is an oxygen or an NR′-group;
• L is a divalent linking group having no more than 10 carbon atoms;
• R′ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
• n is 0 or 1;
• and A represents a moiety according to Formula (1A):
• wherein Q represents the necessary atoms to form a five to eight membered ring and the dashed line represents a covalent bond to a carbon atom;
• and
• wherein monofunctional polymerizable compound B is a compound according to Formula (2):
• with R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group;
• L is a divalent linking group having no more than 10 carbon atoms;
• n is 0 or 1;
• and D is a five to seven membered saturated heterocyclic ring containing a single ether group.
