Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing floor coverings or wall coverings, of the synthetic coverings type, with a cracked effect. It also extends to the products obtained by this process.
  • Document FR-A-2 126 658 discloses a method for applying an emulsion coating material to produce cracking patterns.
  • a lower coating synthetic material containing a mineral material having a high swelling property is deposited, this lower coating material is dried and then a cured coating material containing a silicon dioxide sol is applied.
  • the coating material absorbs less water in the cured coating material simultaneously causing its contraction, and also jointly crazing.
  • a drawback of the process lies in the fact that there are two different layers of particular composition to be used, which require intermediate drying. This process is necessarily slow and expensive.
  • Document FR-A-2 247 494 relates to a cracked film of polymer based on PVC and at least one plasticizer distributed in a homogeneous manner. It also claims a coating consisting of a conventional support coated with such a film as well as a process for the preparation thereof.
  • the process uses a two-phase system, namely polymer / plasticizer and water. However, this process does not allow sufficient control of the formation of cracks and the opening thereof. Furthermore, this process requires high amounts of water.
  • Document US-A-2 612 456 also relates to a process for the manufacture of a decorative and protective coating which has a cracked appearance in which an organosol is used comprising particles of a copolymer of organic vinyl chloride and of acetate, dispersed in a volatile organic liquid.
  • the liquid used must have a swelling effect on the polymer particles. This process is also difficult to control and makes it difficult to obtain a dense network of cracks. Furthermore, this process also requires high amounts of solvent.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of floor coverings or wall coverings, with a cracked effect requiring only a single layer to obtain said cracked effect.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of cracked floor or wall coverings, in which the amounts of solvent or water required are significantly reduced compared to the state of the art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing deep cracked floor or wall coverings, that is to say in substantially the whole mass of at least one layer of the covering.
  • the aim is to provide a new product, that is to say a new floor or wall covering having a cracked effect, of random nature.
  • the process for the production of floor coverings or wall coverings, with a cracked effect characterized in that a plastisol coating composition containing a gel previously prepared from is deposited on a compatible support. of a couple consisting of a solid sorbent and a solvent which causes swelling by absorption of said solvent in and on the sorbent or else a dispersion in water of a dry mixture of PVC and plasticizer containing at least a gel-forming resin in water, in which a film-forming or drying heat treatment is then carried out at a temperature sufficient for an irreversible process of pregelification of the coating and the retraction of the gel by desorption to occur simultaneously of the solvent of the sorbent or by evaporation of the water, respectively, and in what is then carried out, optionally the conventional finishing operations.
  • the process of the invention makes it possible to achieve the aims of the invention and in particular makes it possible to produce a coating with a cracked effect, in which the cracks extend randomly, in depth, in the mass.
  • the invention also resides in the choice of the sorbent agent / solvent couple used under the particular conditions of the process of the invention.
  • the solvent does not disturb the plasticizing effect of the other additives of the synthetic material used for the manufacture of the coating according to the invention. It is obvious that a solvent which does not participate in the plasticization is preferably used, although the use of such a solvent cannot be excluded.
  • the absorbent agent is a silica or a silicate, preferably having a specific surface according to BET of between 250 and 700 m 2 / g, preferably of the order of 300 at 400 m 2 / g.
  • the coating composition advantageously comprises 0.5 to 15% by weight of sorbent agent.
  • a solvent is used whose vapor pressure is very high at the temperature of formation of the synthetic film, so that the sorbent agent shrinks by desorption of the solvent once the film is formed, in order to " tear "forming cracks.
  • the temperature at which the solvent has a high vapor pressure, or the boiling temperature of the solvent must be close to the film-forming temperature, because, if this temperature is too high, it does not there will be no cracking, due to the fusion and the surface tension of the synthetic coating. On the other hand, if this temperature is too low, there is evaporation before the film is formed. It is, of course, necessary to ensure that the retraction force is greater than the cohesive force of the film.
  • a solvent such as the hydrocarbon fractions and in particular white spirit is used at a rate of the order of 15 to 35% by weight of the plastisol coating.
  • the temperature for forming the plastisol coating film is chosen between 110 and 160 ° C. Subsequently coating can be subjected, for example at a temperature of about 200 ° C for 1 minute to 2 minutes 30 seconds if it is desired to change the initial opening cracks without affecting their number.
  • the gel-forming resin in the presence of water can be chosen from a wide range of commercial products.
  • a solvating agent such as ethyl glycol
  • water is particularly useful in causing the gel-forming resin to swell.
  • the additives necessary for stabilizing the aqueous dispersion are well known in the art and a large amount of commercial products are available. It will preferably be added to the preparation in addition to surface-active agents serving for the stabilization of the anti-foaming agents to facilitate the preparation of the dispersion and to be able to carry out a regular coating.
  • the preparation of the dispersion advantageously includes the presence of fillers, pigmented or not, which act in particular on the extent of the cracks or cracks observed.
  • the temperature of thermal drying treatment is selected between 180 and 210 ° C. can be subjected subsequently coating, for example at a temperature of about 200 ° C for 1 minute to 2 minutes 30 seconds if you want to change the initial opening of the cracks without affecting their number.
  • the support on which the plastisol coating composition containing said sorbent / solvent couple is applied or the aqueous dispersion of a dry mixture of PVC and plasticizer containing a gel-forming resin in water can consist of a conventional support which comprises possibly already one or more deposits of synthetic material, possibly provided with a print.
  • a coating of plastisol for example on the coating obtained, so as to fill the cracks with a suitable material.
  • a suitable material for example, a plastisol containing up to 30% of carbon black on the product obtained or optionally an aqueous emulsion of plasticized PVC and conductive carbon black, so as to fill the cracks by a material conducting the electric current.
  • Such a coating is particularly suitable for avoiding the formation of static electricity for coatings intended for operating rooms, computer rooms, etc.
  • the use of such a composition containing carbon black makes it possible to increase to a value of the order 10 8 ohm.cm the transverse electrical resistance of the coating obtained which is normally 10 14 ohm.cm.
  • a coating of a conventional wear layer can be deposited on the surface which further improves the service life of such a coating obtained according to the various embodiments mentioned above of the invention.
  • the shape, depth and opening of the cracks can be controlled by the temperature of the heat treatment, by the choice of the sorbent / solvent couple and of the resin forming gel in water and by the quantity of solvent used. It should be noted however that the depth and the opening of the cracks can be modified later markedly by a heat treatment in particular, unless there has been prior coating thereof.
  • Aerosil 300 ® and of solvent are respectively 2.68% and 26.31% in the coating of plastisol.
  • the coating thus obtained is applied to a conventional support having possibly already received at least one coating and / or one impression.
  • the product thus obtained is subjected to a heat treatment so as to create cracks, which advantageously consists of passing, for 2 minutes 30 seconds, at a temperature between 110 and 120 ° C, obtained by heating in particular using a forced air oven or infrared radiation or a combination of the two, for example.
  • the product obtained is then, optionally, subjected to an impression of a decoration, according to a process known per se.
  • the product can also be subjected to a second heat treatment which allows the opening of already formed cracks.
  • a heat treatment consists in passing, for 1 minute to 2 minutes 30 seconds, at a temperature of the order of 200 ° C.
  • the product is then passed under a rubber doctor blade which penetrates, inside the cracks, a pigmented fluid plastisol which then undergoes pre-gelification.
  • the whole is covered with a coating of PVC plastisol serving as a wear layer and the product obtained is subjected to a gelling operation, for 2 minutes 30 seconds, at a temperature of the order of 190 ° C.
  • crosslinkable polyurethane varnish by any suitable means, for example UV or by electron beam.
  • the rate of Barosil ® and white spirit in the coating is, respectively, 12.5% and 28.7%.
  • the coating thus obtained is deposited on a conventional support which is subjected to a heat treatment so as to create cracks.
  • Said processing thermal consists of a passage of 2 minutes at 110 - 120 * C, in an oven for example.
  • the product thus obtained is then passed under a doctor blade so as to penetrate, inside the cracks, a PVC paste containing 30% carbon black.
  • a final baking heat treatment is then carried out.
  • a so-called "homogeneous" coating is obtained, the electrical transverse surface resistance of which is lowered to a value of the order of 10 8 ohm.cm (whereas it is 10 14 ohm.cm for PVC) and which therefore allows to disperse local electrical charges.
  • Such a coating could be used in an environment with high sensitivity to local loads such as computer rooms.
  • a "compact" plastisol composition is prepared according to Example 1.
  • the annular pumping makes it possible to express the viscosity as a function of the speed gradient.
  • composition of FIG. 3 has the highest viscosity level, whereas for a composition having the same overall contents, but in which the silica and the White Spirit have not been added in the form of gel, the viscosity level is very low.
  • the White Spirit is not preferentially adsorbed by silica but is also distributed in the medium and therefore has a viscosity-lowering effect on the plastisol.
  • the solvent swelled the inert charge and remained there even after mixing in the final medium. It has not been used to lower the general viscosity of plastisol. It is only the heat treatment which will make it possible to desorb the solvent from the silica by causing it to shrink.
  • Example 6 Aqueous dispersion.
  • a dry PVC mixture is prepared consisting of:
  • An aqueous suspension prepared in a mixer (Moltini type) consists of:
  • This aqueous suspension is deposited using a doctor blade on a support composed of a glass veil coated with a PVC plastisol gelled on a drum and which has the following formulation:
  • This coating is dried and baked in a hot air oven between 180 and 210 ° C.
  • Example 2 Aqueous dispersion
  • This suspension is scraped on a support identical to that of Example 1, dried and baked in a hot air oven under the same conditions.
  • the various aqueous suspensions can be colored in the mass by adding an adequate pigment to their formulation.
