Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dekormaterial, welches auf ein zu dekorierendes Material, z. B. Textilmaterial, applizierbar ist, mit einer Trägerfolie und einer mittels Siebdrucktechnik musteförmig aufgebrachten Schmelzklebstoffschicht. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dieses Dekormaterials.The invention relates to a decorative material, which on a material to be decorated, for. B. textile material, can be applied, with a carrier film and a patterned by means of screen printing hot melt adhesive layer. The invention further relates to a method for producing this decorative material.

Zur Dekoration von beispielsweise Textilien sind verschiedene Dekormaterialien, wie Schmucksteine, Pailetten oder Nietköpfe, die in der Regel eine Schmelzklebstoffschicht tragen, bekannt. Der Formenreichtum dieser Dekormaterialien ist jedoch beschränkt.Various decorative materials, such as gemstones, sequins or rivet heads, which usually carry a layer of hot melt adhesive, are known for decorating textiles, for example. However, the variety of shapes of these decorative materials is limited.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Dekormaterials nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Es wird dazu auf die GB-A-2 065 031 bezug genommen.A method for producing a decorative material according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the prior art. For this purpose, reference is made to GB-A-2 065 031.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die oben erwähnten Nachteile zu überwinden und ein einfaches Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Dekormaterials zu schaffen, mit dem verschiedenförmige und verschiedenartige Dekormaterialien zur Verfügung gestellt werden können.The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above and to provide a simple method for producing a decorative material with which differently shaped and different types of decorative materials can be made available.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zu Grunde, daß diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst werden kann, daß man die Siebdrucktechnik zur Herstellung der Dekormaterialien heranzieht.The invention is based on the knowledge that this object can be achieved by using screen printing technology for the production of the decorative materials.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Dekormaterial, applizierbar auf ein zu dekorierendes Material, z. B. Textilmaterial, mit einer Trägerfolie und einer mittels Siebdrucktechnik musterförmig aufgebrachten Schmelzklebstoffschicht, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß auf eine Dekorfolie, die zumindest eine Trägerfolie und eine Effektschicht umfaßt, auf der der Trägerfolie gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Schmelzklebstoffschicht musterförmig mittels Siebdrucktechnik aufgebracht ist, wobei die Effektschicht eine solche Dicke aufweist, daß sie beim Abziehen der Trägerfolie nach dem Applizieren an der Grenze zwischen Schmelzklebstoff-beschichteten Bereichen und nicht mit Schmelzklebstoff-beschichteten Bereichen reißt. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The invention relates to a decorative material, applicable to a material to be decorated, for. B. textile material, with a carrier film and a hot-melt adhesive layer applied in a pattern by means of screen printing technology, characterized in that a hot-melt adhesive layer is applied in a pattern by means of screen printing technology to a decorative film which comprises at least one carrier film and an effect layer, the effect layer being a has a thickness such that when the carrier film is peeled off after application it tears at the boundary between areas coated with hot melt and areas not coated with hot melt. Advantageous designs result from the subclaims.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Dekormaterials, wobei auf eine Dekorfolie, die zumindest eine Trägerfolie und eine Effektschicht umfaßt, auf der der Trägerfolie gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Schmelzklebstoffschicht musterförmig mittels Siebdrucktechnik aufgebracht wird, wobei die Effektschicht eine solche Dicke aufweist, daß sie beim Abziehen der Trägerfolie nach dem Applizieren an der Grenze zwischen Schmelzklebstoff- beschichteten Bereichen und nicht mit Schmelzklebstoff-beschichteten Bereichen reißt.The invention further relates to a method for producing a decorative material, a pattern of hotmelt adhesive being applied in a pattern by means of screen printing technology to a decorative film which comprises at least one carrier film and an effect layer, on the side opposite the carrier film, the effect layer having a thickness such that it when the carrier film is peeled off after application, it tears at the boundary between areas coated with hot melt and areas not coated with hot melt.

Die Siebdrucktechnik, eine einfache und ausgereifte Drucktechnik erlaubt es in einfacher Weise, die verschiedenartigsten Flächenornamente darzustellen. Es sind gleichermaßen eine Vielzahl von isolierten Teifflächen, wie Kreise, Quadrate etc. als auch beliebig gestaltete, flächig zusammenhängende Ornamente und auch figürliche Darstellungen beliebiger Form machbar. Die Siebdrucktechnik ist auf beliebige Flächenausdehnungen anwendbar und kann kontinuierlich ausgeführt werden. Eine Änderung von Motiven ist leicht möglich.The screen printing technique, a simple and sophisticated printing technique, allows the most varied of surface ornaments to be displayed in a simple manner. A large number of isolated teapot surfaces, such as circles, squares, etc., as well as arbitrarily designed, flatly coherent ornaments and figurative representations of any shape are equally feasible. The screen printing technique can be applied to any surface area and can be carried out continuously. It is easy to change motifs.

Die Siebdrucktechnik an sich ist allgemein bekannt.The screen printing technique itself is generally known.

Das Aufbringen der Schmelzklebstoffschicht auf die Dekorfolie kann in verschiedener Weise erfolgen. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird eine Schmelzklebstoffdispersion musterförmig auf die Dekorfolie aufgebracht und anschließend getrocknet.The hot-melt adhesive layer can be applied to the decorative film in various ways. According to a preferred embodiment, a hot melt adhesive dispersion is applied in a pattern to the decorative film and then dried.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform wird zuerst ein flüssiges Bindemittel musterförmig auf die Dekorfolie aufgebracht und danach flächenförmig teilchenförmiger, d.h. pulverförmiger Schmelzklebstoff aufgebracht, der dann an den mit Bindemittel versehenen Bereichen haftet, während er an den nicht mit Bindemittel versehenen Bereichen nicht haften bleibt bzw. leicht entfernt werden kann, beispielsweise durch Absaugen.According to another embodiment, a liquid binder is first applied to the decorative film in a pattern and then in a more particulate, i.e. powdered hot melt adhesive applied, which then adheres to the areas provided with binder, while it does not stick to the areas not provided with binder or can be easily removed, for example by suction.

Die Effektschicht kann in jenen Bereichen, die nicht mit Schmelzklebstoff beschickt sind, entfernt werden. Dies kann beispielsweise mit galvanischen Verfahren erreicht werden. Diese Arbeitsweise hat den Vorteil, daß das Muster sichtbar wird.The effect layer can be removed in those areas that are not filled with hot melt adhesive. This can be achieved with galvanic processes, for example. This way of working has the advantage that the pattern is visible.

Der Schmelzklebstoff soll gleichmäßig flächig aufgebracht werden. Für manche Anwendungen ist es vorteilhaft, die Schmelzklebstoffschicht zu verfestigen und zu glätten. Dies erfolgt durch Schmelzen des Schmelzklebstoffs.The hot melt adhesive should be applied evenly across the surface. For some applications, it is advantageous to solidify and smooth the hot melt adhesive layer. This is done by melting the hot melt adhesive.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an Hand der Zeichnung, die eine beispielshafte Ausführungsform zeigt, näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 ein Dekormaterial von der Unterseite her gesehen und
  • Fig. 2 das Dekormaterial im Querschnitt.

In Fig. 1 ist das Dekormaterial 1 von seiner Unterseite gezeigt, die den musterförmig aufgebrachten Schmelzklebstoff 2 trägt. Es versteht sich, daß die musterförmige Anordnung des Schmelzklebstoffs frei wählbar ist. Gerade in dieser beliebigen flächigen Ausgestaltung des Dekormaterials liegt ein bedeutender Vorteil.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which shows an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 seen a decorative material from the bottom and
  • Fig. 2 shows the decorative material in cross section.

In Fig. 1, the decorative material 1 is shown from its underside, which carries the hot melt adhesive 2 applied in a pattern. It is understood that the pattern-like arrangement of the hot melt adhesive is freely selectable. There is a significant advantage in this arbitrary flat design of the decorative material.

Das Dekormaterial eignet sich besonders für Textilien. Auf Grund der möglichen sehr geringen Schichtdicke werden die Trageeigenschaften und der Fall des Textilmaterials nicht beeinträchtigt. Durch die beliebige flächige Ausgestaltung des Dekormaterials lassen sich auch großflächig bis jetzt nicht mögliche Textildekorationen vornehmen.The decorative material is particularly suitable for textiles. Due to the possible very thin layer thickness, the wearing properties and the fall of the textile material are not impaired. Due to the arbitrary flat design of the decorative material, textile decorations that were previously not possible can also be carried out on a large scale.

Das Dekormaterial wird mit der Schmelzklebstoffschicht nach unten auf das Textilmaterial gelegt und der Schmelzklebstoff durch Wärmezufuhr, beispielsweise durch Heißpressen, aktiviert, so daß sich dieser mit dem Textilmaterial verbindet. Anschließend wird die Folie abgezogen und es verbleiben nur jene Effektbereiche auf dem Textil, die durch den Schmelzklebstoff fixiert werden. Die Dekorationsflächen entsprechen somit dem mit der Siebdrucktechnik musterförmig aufgebrachten Schmelzklebstoff.The decorative material is placed on the textile material with the hotmelt adhesive layer facing downward, and the hotmelt adhesive is activated by the application of heat, for example by hot pressing, so that it bonds with the textile material. The film is then peeled off and only those effect areas remain on the textile that are fixed by the hot melt adhesive will. The decorative surfaces thus correspond to the hot melt adhesive applied in a pattern using screen printing technology.

In Fig. 2 ist eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Dekormaterials illustriert.A preferred embodiment of the decorative material produced according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2.

Für die Schmelzklebstoffschicht 2 eignen sich sämtlich bekannte Schmelzkleber, die eine gute Haftung zwischen dem Dekormaterial und den Gegenständen, auf die es aufgebracht werden soll, gewährleisten. Beispiele für solche Schmelzkleber sind Polyamide, Polyvinylacetat, Polyesterharze, Epoxydharze, Isocyanate und Aminoplaste. Besonders bevorzugt werden Schmelzklebstoffe auf der Basis von thermoplastischen Polyamidharzen. Die Dicke der Schmelzklebstoffschicht kann je nach Anwendung in weiten Grenzen variieren. Sie liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen 10 und 200 m, insbesondere bei etwa 100ujn.All known hotmelt adhesives which guarantee good adhesion between the decorative material and the objects to which it is to be applied are suitable for the hotmelt adhesive layer 2. Examples of such hot melt adhesives are polyamides, polyvinyl acetate, polyester resins, epoxy resins, isocyanates and aminoplasts. Hot melt adhesives based on thermoplastic polyamide resins are particularly preferred. The thickness of the hot melt adhesive layer can vary within wide limits depending on the application. It is preferably in the range between 10 and 200 m, in particular around 100ujn.

Zwischen Schmelzklebstoffschicht 2 und Effektschicht 6 liegt gegebenenfalls die Bindemittelschicht 7. Diese Schicht 7 soll sich durch Temperaturbeständigkeit und Formbeständigkeit auszeichnen. Die Temperaturbeständigkeit muß ausreichend hoch sein, damit bei Aktivierung der Schmelzklebstoffschicht diese Schicht nicht beeinträchtigt wird und ihren Glanz beibehält. Die Formbeständigkeit ist deshalb von Bedeutung, damit beim Applizieren des Dekormaterials auf das Textil die Struktur des Gewebes nicht durchgedrückt wird. Diese Funktion der Bindemittelschicht kann auch eine Aluminiumfolie erfüllen. Vorzugsweise werden als Bindemittel Epoxydharze oder 20 Polyester eingesetzt. Die Stärke liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von 10 bis 200 pm, insbesondere bei etwa 100 pm.Binder layer 7 is optionally located between hot melt adhesive layer 2 and effect layer 6. This layer 7 should be distinguished by temperature resistance and dimensional stability. The temperature resistance must be sufficiently high so that when the hot-melt adhesive layer is activated, this layer is not impaired and maintains its gloss. The dimensional stability is therefore important so that the structure of the fabric is not pushed through when the decorative material is applied to the textile. An aluminum foil can also perform this function of the binder layer. Epoxy resins or 20 polyesters are preferably used as binders. The thickness is preferably in the range from 10 to 200 pm, in particular around 100 pm.

Im allgemeinen wird die Gesamtstärke des Dekormaterials so dünn wie möglich gewählt, um die Eigenschaften des Textils und dessen Trageigenschaften möglichst wenig zu beeinträchtigen.In general, the overall thickness of the decorative material is chosen to be as thin as possible in order to impair the properties of the textile and its wearing properties as little as possible.

Zwischen der Bindemittelschicht 7 und der Effektschicht 6 kann gegebenenfalls eine weitere Schmelzklebstoffschicht vorgesehen sein, um eine bessere Verbindung der erstgenannten Schichten sicherzustellen.A further hot melt adhesive layer can optionally be provided between the binder layer 7 and the effect layer 6 in order to ensure a better connection of the first-mentioned layers.

Die Effektschicht 6 ist vorzugsweise eine Metalleffektschicht. Sie besteht insbesondere aus einer Metallaufdampfschicht. Die Herstellung von solchen Überzügen aus Metallen, Metalloxyden oder Metallsalzen, die beispielsweise durch thermisches Verdampfen im Vakuum, Elektronenstrahl- oder Kathodenzerstäubung erfolgen kann, ist bekannt. Diese Schichten sind im allgemeinen sehr dünn und liegen in der Größenordnung von 0,5 bis 5 µm, insbesondere 2 bis 4 .m. Durch Verwendung geeigneter Materialien bzw. einer Mehrschichtenbedampfung kann der Aufdampfschicht eine bestimmte Farbe, und zwar insbesondere die charakteristischen Interferenzfarben, verliehen werden. Durch diese Ausgestaltung können besondere ästhetische Effekte erzielt werden.The effect layer 6 is preferably a metal effect layer. It consists in particular of a metal vapor deposition layer. The production of such coatings from metals, metal oxides or metal salts, which can be done for example by thermal evaporation in a vacuum, electron beam or cathode sputtering, is known. These layers are generally very thin and are of the order of 0.5 to 5 μm, in particular 2 to 4 .m. By using suitable materials or multi-layer vapor deposition, the vapor deposition layer can be given a certain color, in particular the characteristic interference colors. This design enables special aesthetic effects to be achieved.

Alternativ kommen als Effektschichten Metallfolien, insbesondere Aluminiumfolien, in Betracht.Alternatively, metal foils, in particular aluminum foils, can be used as effect layers.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Metallschicht aus einer Blattgoldschicht. Damit lassen sich besonders wertvolle Dekormaterialien, insbesondere für Textilien aber auch Lederwaren und anderes schaffen. Anstelle von echtem Blattgold kann auch Schlagmetall Verwendung finden.According to a preferred embodiment, the metal layer consists of a gold leaf layer. This makes it possible to create particularly valuable decorative materials, especially for textiles but also leather goods and other items. Instead of real gold leaf, impact metal can also be used.

Als Effektschichten eignen sich auch Farbschichten, insbesondere Kunststofflackschichten und Acrylfarbschichten.Color layers, in particular plastic lacquer layers and acrylic color layers, are also suitable as effect layers.

Auf die Effektschicht 6 wird vorzugsweise eine Schutzschicht 5 aufgebracht. Diese Schutzschicht ist meist ein transparenter Schutzlack. Dieser hat zum einen die Funktion, die Effektschicht zu schützen, insbesondere das Dekormaterial beständig gegen Waschen und Reinigen zu machen.A protective layer 5 is preferably applied to the effect layer 6. This protective layer is usually a transparent protective lacquer. On the one hand, this has the function of protecting the effect layer, in particular of making the decorative material resistant to washing and cleaning.

Anstatt einer Schutzschicht kann vorzugsweise auch eine Farblackschicht aufgebracht werden, um der Effektschicht 6 eine bestimmte Farbe zu geben. Die Schutzschicht darf nicht thermisch aktivierbar sein, d. h. bei der Aktivierung der Schmelzklebstoffschicht darf die Schutzschicht nicht beeinträchtigt werden. Es eignen sich insbesondere Epoxylacke.Instead of a protective layer, a colored lacquer layer can preferably also be applied in order to give the effect layer 6 a specific color. The protective layer must not be able to be activated thermally, i. H. the protective layer must not be impaired when the hot-melt adhesive layer is activated. Epoxy paints are particularly suitable.

Effektschicht sowie Schutzschicht bzw. Farblackschicht sind dünn, damit sie beim Abziehen der Trägerfolie nach dem Applizieren an der Grenze zwischen schmelzklebstoffbeschichteten Bereichen und nicht mit Schmelzklebstoff beschichteten Bereichen reißen, so daß schließlich nur die gewünschten musterförmigen Bereiche auf dem Substrat verbleiben.The effect layer and protective layer or colored lacquer layer are thin so that when the carrier film is peeled off after application, they tear at the boundary between areas coated with hot melt adhesive and areas not coated with hot melt adhesive, so that ultimately only the desired pattern-shaped areas remain on the substrate.

Zwischen den einzelnen Schichten können gegebenenfalls Primerschichten vorliegen, die insbesondere zum besseren Verbund der Schichten beitragen.Primer layers may be present between the individual layers, which in particular contribute to the better bonding of the layers.

Die Trägerfolie 3 ist im allgemeinen eine Selbstklebefolie mit Haftschicht 4. Es eignen sich übliche Selbstklebefolien. Transparente Polyesterfolien einer Stärke von 10 - 20 um werden bevorzugt.The carrier film 3 is generally a self-adhesive film with an adhesive layer 4. Conventional self-adhesive films are suitable. Transparent polyester films 10-20 µm thick are preferred.
