Abstract
The invention relates to a floor or wall panel and a method for producing such panel. The panel according to the invention comprises a core layer comprising at least one composite material, said composite material comprising at least one inorganic material, and at least one polymeric binder, wherein a weight ratio of the inorganic material to the polymeric binder is at least 2.4:1. The core layer further comprises an additive which is configured to improve the properties of the core layer.
Claims20
A floor or wall panel comprising:
- a) at least one core layer comprising at least one composite material, said composite material comprising:
- • at least one inorganic material, and
- • at least one polymeric binder,
- wherein a weight ratio of the inorganic material to the polymeric binder is at least 2.4:1, and wherein the core layer further comprises at least one hyperbranched polymer.
A method of producing a floor or wall panel, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one inorganic material, at least one polymeric binder and at least one hyperbranched polymer, wherein a weight ratio of the inorganic material to the polymeric binder is at least 2.4:1;
- b) feeding a mixture of the at least one inorganic material, the at least one polymeric binder and the at least one hyperbranched polymer to an extruder;
- and
- c) extruding the mixture such that an extruded core layer is formed.
