Benefits of technology

The present invention provides alternative panels and methods that are smoother and / or more economical than those of the state of the art. The panels show improvements in mechanical and optical properties, such as better sound when used as floor panels and a more comfortable, warm feeling.

Problems solved by technology

Such wear-resistant particles, however, lead to a reduced transparency of the material layer concerned.
However, the water-based inks are less resistant against UV radiation, for example, as a consequence of sunlight, than UV-based inks.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]To this aim, the invention, according to its first independent aspect, relates to a panel of the type which comprises at least a substrate and a top layer provided on this substrate, wherein said top layer comprises a motif printed directly on the substrate and a transparent or translucent synthetic material layer, which is provided above said printed motif, with the characteristic that said transparent or translucent synthetic material layer comprises vinyl and that a primer is provided between the printed motif and the vinyl-containing synthetic material layer. Preferably, said translucent synthetic material layer substantially consists of vinyl and / or plasticizer. In that vinyl is applied on the surface, an agreeable feeling is created on the surface of the panels. Said primer allows obtaining in an economic manner an adherence of the vinyl-containing synthetic material layer on an underlying layer, for example, on the inks of the printed motif. The inventors have found tha...

Abstract

A panel may include at least a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may include a vinyl-based synthetic material layer. The substrate may be a wood-based substrate. A primer may be provided between the substrate and the vinyl-based synthetic material layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field[0002]This invention relates to panels and methods for manufacturing panels.[0003]More particularly, the invention relates to panels of the type which is at least composed of a substrate and comprises a top layer provided on this substrate, wherein said top layer comprises a printed motif and a transparent or translucent synthetic material layer, which is provided above said printed motif. Herein, this may relate, for example, to furniture panels, ceiling panels, floor panels or the like, which substantially consist of an MDF or HDF (Medium or High Density Fiberboard) basic panel or substrate and a top layer provided thereon. According to a first possibility, it relates to panels obtained by means of a method wherein one or more material layers are provided on the substrate, wherein at least one of these material layers is provided by means of a print which is performed directly on the substrate, wherein this print then forms at least a porti...
