Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for locally mattering a synthetic covering surface, more particularly a floor or wall covering based on PVC and the products obtained.
  • Said zones can for example be a pattern applied by printing on a coating or an imitation of a joint, in the case of a coating imitating a ceramic tile.
  • the matt state of the zone which is obtained by a grain-forming cylinder, disappears in any case partially, during the subsequent possibly local heating of said zone.
  • the present invention aims to provide an improved method which makes it possible to obtain a high degree of mattness on the surface of an area of a synthetic coating.
  • the object is achieved by a process in which at least one coating or impression containing at least one first polymerization initiator and, in a second zone which can be deposited on a foamable support or not, in a first zone.
  • at least one coating based on crosslinkable monomer containing at least one second polymerization initiator at least two initiators being different and triggered either by different effects, or by the same effect for different spectral zones; pre-gelation is carried out; graining is carried out at least locally; only the first zone is polymerized in order to fix its appearance and gelling which, causing the fluidifi cation of the varnish, causes the disappearance of the grainy appearance in the non-crosslinked zone, and possibly expansion and thermal crosslinking.
  • spectral zone is meant, in the broadest sense, temperature ranges, frequency ranges and other ranges capable of decomposing the initiator by forming the free radicals or ions necessary for propagation of chains in a polymerization reaction.
  • the process of the present invention therefore makes it possible to advantageously separate the polymerization initiations in the zones in question, according to the products used so that the polymerization initiation energy supplied to a first zone cannot initiate the polymerization of the other area.
  • a coating based on crosslinkable monomer which contains a thermal polymerization initiator; pregelification is carried out at a temperature such that the decomposition of the thermal initiator is zero or negligible; graining is carried out at least locally, the coating of the first zone is polymerized by initiation under UV radiation in order to fix its appearance and a gelling is carried out which, causing the fluidization of the varnish, causes the disappearance of the grained appearance in the uncrosslinked area, and possibly expansion and thermal crosslinking.
  • thermal initiators can be used at different initiation temperatures, or two UV initiators at different UV frequencies of initiation. It is also possible to combine the abovementioned initiators together or to combine them with other polymerization initiators, such as ionic initiators, these can also be combined with one another. It can therefore be seen that the method of the invention allows many variants.
  • the first zone can advantageously be a joint between two tiles in the case of a coating imitating the ceramic coating.
  • the coating or printing of the first zone can be carried out on a foamable support or on a non-expandable or slightly expandable support.
  • At least one of the zones and preferably the zone of the joint in a pattern of tiles may contain an expansion inhibitor.
  • the method of the invention also has the advantage of allowing graining of the entire surface, without having to provide a particular grain roller controlled in accordance with the pattern or the decoration of the coating, since the area which is not polymerized after graining will be fluidized during the subsequent gelation treatment and will be smoothed by surface tension.
  • Particularly preferred compounds are 1,4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate and and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate.
  • 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl hydroperoxide, cumyl hydroperoxide, 2,5-dimethylhexane 2,5-dihydroperoxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide and peroxide are preferred.
  • azo compounds of the AIBN (azo-bisisobutyronitrile) type or inorganic compounds comprising the peroxide bond are also possible to use, as initiators, azo compounds of the AIBN (azo-bisisobutyronitrile) type or inorganic compounds comprising the peroxide bond.
  • AIBN azo-bisisobutyronitrile
  • UV polymerization initiator preferably use Merck products DAROCUR ® 1173 or DAROCUR ® ll16 at a rate of 1 to 50%, preferably 20% by weight, of the ink or the cut.
  • TMA trimellitic anhydride
  • the coating containing the crosslinkable monomer as well as the initiator of the second zone, in the particular case the thermal initiator, contains 1 to 50%, preferably 11% by weight of monomer comprising at least two chain propagation sites, optionally mixed with monomers having a chain propagation site.
  • said second zone can be initiated directly or by means of a radiative energy transfer agent, so that each of the initiations can be triggered by its own physicochemical effect.
  • a radiative energy transfer agent so that each of the initiations can be triggered by its own physicochemical effect.
  • the initiation of polymerization of the second zone by direct radiative route or by means of an energy transfer agent can be carried out by X-ray, an electron beam or by t-radiation.
  • the energy transfer agent In order for the energy transfer agent to be able to fully exert its effect, it must act on a product for which sufficient mobility of the crosslinkable monomer is ensured.
  • This condition is best achieved from the hot industrial point of view by subjecting the product to an oven, preferably the oven in which gelation and / or possible expansion is carried out in a conventional manner or immediately upon leaving this oven when the product is still at a sufficient temperature.
  • an oven preferably the oven in which gelation and / or possible expansion is carried out in a conventional manner or immediately upon leaving this oven when the product is still at a sufficient temperature.
  • the polymerization can be brought about in the first zone by the techniques described above, and then the polymerization in the second zone by the appropriate physicochemical means, and this without significant modifications to the production lines of flooring. existing.
  • the different initiation effects used in the respective zones will of course be chosen so as to have sufficiently different initial effects to obtain the desired effect. For example, it might be difficult to master an operation in which two different UV initiators, i.e. triggered by different UV radiation ranges, would be used because the separation of the effects in the UV spectrum would be difficult to achieve.
  • the support consists of a substrate 1 and a coating at the rate of 50D g / m 2 of a foamable plastisol 2.
  • a foamable plastisol 2 On this coating of foamable plastisol, one deposits ( Figure 2), in one or more stages, in a first zone, according to a decoration imitating the design of a tiling joint 3, a conventional ink containing an expansion inhibitor and approximately 20% of a UV initiator DAROCUR @ 1173 or 1116 and, according to a decorative pattern any 4, an ink containing a UV initiator
  • the ink can be replaced by a cut, that is to say a solution without dye or pigment, depending on the decorative effects which it is desired to obtain.
  • This deposit is advantageously done by a gravure printing technique.
  • FIG. 4 represents the graining step by means of a graining cylinder, over the entire surface, at a temperature which does not allow the polymerization of the plastisol, that is to say at a temperature higher than 100 ° C, under a pressure depending on the degree of matte desired.
  • the pre-gelation and graining steps can be carried out in a single step, using an adequately heated graining cylinder.
  • Passage under a UV lamp 7 makes it possible to crosslink the area containing the U.V. initiator so that the (grained) state of this area is fixed by the crosslinking.
  • the product obtained is passed, for one minute to two minutes and thirty seconds, in an oven at approximately 200 ° C., intended to expand the foamable coating 2 in places which do not contain an expansion inhibitor and to polymerize the area containing the thermal initiator.
  • the zone which has not been polymerized during the UV initiation undergoes during gelling, a fluidification which has the effect of smoothing the grained surface, while the grained and crosslinked zone during the initiation UV maintains its grainy (mat) state.
  • the product shown in FIG. 6 is obtained.
  • Example 2 The procedure is as in Example 1, with the difference however that the ink used contains 1 to 20% of benzoyl peroxide dissolved in the minimum amount of ether or methyl ethyl ketone.
  • the coating deposited on the entire surface contains, as in Example 1, the other thermal initiator: cumyl hydroperoxide and the desired effect will in this case be caused by varying the initiation temperatures different from the initiators used.
  • a first heat treatment (pre-gelling) is indeed carried out at 120 ° C, followed by graining and finally a gelling and expansion step at 180-200 ° C which can be accompanied by mechanical smoothing .
  • Example 2 The procedure is as in Example 2, using 1 to 20% of azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) dissolved in the minimum amount of methyl ethyl ketone and added to the ink.
  • AIBN azoisobutyronitrile
  • Example 2 The procedure is as in Example 1, replacing the PVC with a copolymer of PVC (95%) and polyvinyl acetate (5%), all the other parts remaining equal.
  • the pregelling is advantageously carried out on a cylinder at 130 ° C., this temperature can even be exceeded as a function of the running speed of the product.
