Abstract
A process for the manufacturing of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer and a decorative upper surface. A radiation curing lacquer is printed in a predetermined pattern as an uppermost layer on the decorative upper surface. The radiation curing lacquer covers only parts of the decorative upper surface whereby the lacquer is exposed to radiation whereby it cures. A surface structure is hereby achieved.
Claims18
A process for the manufacturing of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer and a decorative upper surface, the decorative upper surface comprises a decor layer and a wear layer, which wear layer is applied on top of the decor layer, wherein lacquer curable by radiation is printed in a predetermined pattern as an uppermost layer on the decorative upper surface, the lacquer curable by radiation covering only parts of the decorative upper surface, leaving a portion of the decorative upper surface uncovered by the lacquer curable by radiation, whereby the lacquer is exposed to radiation whereby it cures whereby a surface structure is achieved.
A process for the manufacturing of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer and a decorative upper surface wherein a lacquer curable by radiation is printed by means of an inkjet printer in a predetermined pattern as an uppermost layer on the decorative upper surface, the lacquer curable by radiation covering only parts of the decorative upper surface whereby the lacquer is exposed to radiation whereby it cures whereby a surface structure is achieved, the lacquer curable by radiation includes hard particles with an average particle size in the range 50 nm-150 μm;
- and the main part of the hard particles are, optionally, selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, α-aluminium oxide and silicon carbide while a smaller amount of the hard particles consisting of diamond.
A process for the manufacturing of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer and a decorative upper surface wherein a lacquer curable by radiation is printed by means of an ink-jet printer in a predetermined pattern as an uppermost layer on the decorative upper surface, the lacquer covering only parts of the decorative upper surface whereby the lacquer is exposed to radiation whereby it cures whereby a surface structure is achieved, and the lacquer curable by radiation is applied by means of an ink-jet printer.
