Polyolefin foam composite material

A composite material comprising

• a polyolefin foam base layer;
• a printed layer overlying said base layer and comprising a polyolefin film with printing on at least one surface thereof, said film being fusion bonded to said polyolefin foam base layer;
• and
• a top layer overlying said printed layer and comprising an extrusion coating of a transparent thermoplastic polymer fusion bonded to said printed layer with said printing being visible therethrough.

A composite material comprising

• a polyethylene foam base layer;
• a printed layer overlying said base layer and comprising a polyethylene film with printing on at least one surface thereof, said film being fusion bonded to said polyethylene foam base layer;
• a scrim stiffening layer between said base layer and said printed layer;
• and
• a top layer overlying said printed layer and comprising an extrusion coating of a transparent thermoplastic polymer fusion bonded to said printed layer with said printing being visible therethrough.

A method for producing a composite material suitable comprising:

• providing a polyolefin foam base layer;
• positioning a printed layer over a surface of the polyolefin foam base layer;
• and
• extruding a top layer onto the printed layer with sufficient heat energy that the layers are fusion bonded together in the absence of adhesives to form a composite material.
