Abstract
The invention relates to directly decoratable and/or printable composite materials suitable in particular as materials in interior finishing, for linings, constructions and for the manufacture of furniture and similar products.
Claims46
A composite material comprising:
- a) a carrier,
- b) at least one textile surface structure laminated on at least one of the two sides of the carrier, which textile surface structure having at least one finally hardened B-stage binder and can be optionally provided with at least one functional material,
- characterized in that the side(s) of the composite material equipped with the textile surface structure have a surface quality such that the latter can be directly printed or lacquered.
A method for manufacturing a composite material comprising the measures:
- a) Supplying of a carrier,
- b) Application of a textile surface structure onto at least one surface of the carrier, wherein the textile surface structure has at least one binder in the B-stage state and optionally at least one functional material is introduced,
- c) Lamination of the construction obtained according to step c) under the action of pressure and heat so that the binder present in the B stage receives its final hardening,
- d) Optional application of at least one additional layer and/or auxiliary layer(s) required for the direct printing or direct lacquering onto the side(s) of the composite material equipped with the textile surface structure.

Printed or lacquered composite materials comprising:
- a) a carrier,
- b) at least one textile surface structure applied onto at least one of the two sides of the carrier, which textile surface structure has at least one finally hardened B-stage binder,
- c) optionally at least one functional material that is present in the carrier and/or the textile surface,
- d) optionally one or more base coatings that are applied on the side of the textile surface structure facing away from the carrier,
- e) at least one lacquer or printed layer and/or one printed or lacquered foil,
- f) optionally further layers for the protection of the lacquer- or printed layer as well as of the printed or lacquered foil,
- characterized in that the layer according to e) is applied directly on the textile surface structure without primer layers being used between the layer according to e) and the textile surface or according to c) or the base coating applied on the textile surface structure according to d).

A method for printing or lacquering composite materials, characterized in that a composite material comprising
- a) a carrier,
- b) at least one textile surface structure applied on at least one of the two sides of the carrier, which textile surface structure has at least one finally hardened B-stage binder,
- c) optionally at least one functional material present in the carrier and/or in the textile surface,
- d) optionally one or more base coatings applied on the side of the textile surface structure facing away from the carrier,
- is directly printed or lacquered without primer layers being used on the textile surface or between the textile surface and the base coating optionally applied according to d).
