A method for manufacturing slabs made of stone or stone-like agglomerate material and having decorations and/or chromatic effects, including steps of machining at least one surface of the slab by means of sizing and/or polishing, applying a dispersed ink containing pigments on the at least one machined surface, drying the dispersed ink, penetration, by means of diffusion, of the pigments of the dispersed ink into the slab following a change in state of the pigments, to realize the decorations and/or the chromatic effects, cooling the slab, removing the excess or residual dispersed ink from the at least one surface of the slab, and applying a layer of functional compound on the at least one surface of the slab. Also relating to a slab of stone or stone-like agglomerate material including at least one surface with decorations and/or chromatic effects and a working intermediate for manufacture thereof.
A method for manufacturing slabs made of stone or stone-like agglomerate material and having decorations and/or chromatic effects, the method comprising at least the following steps:
A slab of stone or stone-like agglomerate material comprising at least one surface with decorations and/or chromatic effects formed with a dispersed ink containing pigments, made by means of at least one step involving machining at least one surface by means of sizing and/or smoothing and/or polishing, a step of applying the dispersed ink onto said at least one machined surface, a step of drying said dispersed ink, a step of penetration, by means of diffusion, of the pigments of the dispersed ink into the slab by means of change of state of the pigments, a step of cooling the slab, a step of removing the excess or residual dispersed ink from the at least one surface of the slab and a step of applying a layer of functional compound on the at least one surface of the slab.
A working intermediate for manufacturing a slab of stone or stone-like agglomerate material comprising at least one surface with decorations and/or chromatic effects realized with a dispersed ink containing pigments, said working intermediate comprising a layer of dried dispersed ink on said at least one surface.
