Abstract
The present invention relates to a panel, in particular a floor panel or wall panel, comprising a core layer comprising a mineral filler, a polymeric binder, and optionally a plasticizer; and a coating layer located on a bottom surface of the core layer. The invention further relates to a composition for forming a coating layer. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a panel, comprising providing a core layer comprising at least one mineral filler and at least one polymeric binder, applying a composition to at least part of a bottom surface of the core layer, and at least partially crosslinking the composition to obtain a coating layer.
Claims20
A floor panel or wall panel, comprising:
- at least one core layer comprising at least one mineral filler, at least one polymeric binder, and at least one plasticizer;
- at least one decorative top layer located on a top surface of the at least one core layer, said at least one decorative top layer comprising at least one printed layer, at least one wear layer and at least one top coating layer;
- and
- at least one bottom coating layer located on a bottom surface of the at least one core layer;
- wherein the at least one printed layer is at least partially digitally printed;
- wherein the at least one wear layer has a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm and comprises one or more transparent layers of a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin;
- wherein the at least one top coating layer comprises at least one viscoelastic coating layer, at least one thermoset coating, at least one acrylic coating layer, at least one excimer cured coating layer or any combination thereof, and comprises at least partially a tactile texture provided thereon by chemical or mechanical means;
- and
- wherein the at least one bottom coating layer comprises an at least partly crosslinked polymer impermeable to the at least one plasticizer.
A method of manufacturing a floor panel or wall panel, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one core layer comprising at least one mineral filler, at least one polymeric binder, and at least one plasticizer;
- providing at least one decorative top layer to a top surface of the at least one core layer, said at least one decorative top layer comprising at least one printed layer, at least one wear layer and at least one top coating layer;
- and
- providing at least one bottom coating layer to a bottom surface of the at least one core layer;
- wherein the at least one wear layer has a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm and comprises one or more transparent layers of a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin;
- wherein the at least one top coating layer comprises at least one viscoelastic coating layer, at least one thermoset coating, at least one acrylic coating layer, at least one excimer cured coating layer or any combination thereof, and comprises at least partially a tactile texture provided thereon by chemical or mechanical means;
- and
- wherein the at least one bottom coating layer comprises an at least partly crosslinked polymer impermeable to the at least one plasticizer.
