Abstract

ABSTRACT

TITLE: WALLCOVERINGS

Pieces (15) of prepasted foamed wallcovering are made in a two-location process. At the first location a web of paper substrata (10a) with a formable coat (10b) is given a print (10c). At the second location the printed web is given a pre-paste coat (10d) with an adhesive capable of providing remoistanable features after tolera-ting heat conditions to be encountered during a subsequent foaming step, and the pasted, printed web is then given at the same location any subsequent treatment required (such as embossing) including heat-ing to generate the foam.

Description

- 1 ~ZS~g Thia invsntlon rslatas to wallcoverings.
Tha invsntion i~ concsrnsd with th~ subjact of prspastad wall-cnv~ring~ and i~ aimsd at providing apparatu~ and a proc3~s for ma~lng prspaRtsd chsmically foamed wallcovsring~.
A proca~ already ussd ~or making prspastad foamed wallcovsring involvs~ conducting sub procassas at thres location~, namsly:
Location No. 1 Un-rssl foamabl~ ~eb; print; rs-rsel and tak6 to Locatian No. 2.
Location No. 2 Un-raol printed foamabla wsb; hsat to foam;
rs-rasl.
Location No. 3 Un-rssl pri~tsd ~oamabls web; prapasts;
pisca wind.
This alrsady u~ed procsss has potantial problsm points. For example, any damage occurring aftsr printing (such a~ may ari~e in hand}ing, transport and storags o~ rssls) i3 damag~ to a product to which qignificant value, namely the printing, ha~ besn addsd. Any damage occurring aftsr foaming involves 1089 of ~vsn grsater valus.
Fùrth~r a foamad web i9 soft and bulky and i~ quscsptibla to damags and i8 not suitabla tor convsntional ~torags as a rsel fr~-Rtanding on a floor as ths ~oam in proximity to ths floor bscomss crushad.
Thus it i~ ths practica to support rael~ of ~oamsd wsb ~n csntrs ~upports mountsd on block~ which i~ mora troublssoms than fras-~tanding 4torags.
Ths invsntion disclossd in our application No. 81~7022 (G8 2110 956A) provide~ an improvsd proca~s which, whilst not removing all ths problem point~, at lea~t r~ducss them. Th~ pressnt invsntion di~closa~
a furthsr lmprov~d proca~s in which damag~ hazard3 ~uch as may ariss in .~
- 2 - ~ S~3 handling, transport and storaga of rselsd products are raducad. Tha new procass also aims gsnarally to follow ths procadura o~ printing prior to prapasting and henca problsm3 that can arise dua to adhasiva inadvar-tantly raaching tha print surfaca, disturbanca to tha printing surfaca dua to an intermadiate procsss impairing print~ and inability to sustain registsr due to prasancs o~ prepasta on the rsvarsa sida o~ tha web, ara minimisad or avoidad.
Tha procss~ according to tha presant invsntion is a procass which raq~iras at tha most, two locations with one rewind batwaan locations as follows:
Location No. 1 Unrael basa web, print, and reel.
Location No. 2 Apply prapasta with an adhasiva capabls of providing remoistenabla featuras aftar tolara-ting heat conditions to bs sncountared during a subsaquent foaming step (typically 180 22ûC for 15 to 40 seconds), complata ramain-ing treatmant of printad and prepastsd web, i~ raquirad~ foam, and pieca wind.
(For ra~3rsnca purposas tha aarly art procassas of prepasting ars sean in G8 s88 554, 605 438, 606 648, 626 290, a2s 752, 869 422.
These pr~cssses hava be~n gsnarally rsplacad with a two-ccat systsm di3closed in USP 3 122 445 which, in turn, is likely to be raplaced by prepasting with 2dhasivss derivad from invarss smulsions as disclosad in EP 0 008 213 and G3 2 054 ~28A).
Two examplas of tha invantion will now ba descriobad with .sfa_-ence to tha accompanying drawing3 which ara flow lina diagrams of two procasses according to the invention raspectivsly numbsrsd F19. 1 and 7~
