US Patent:

6613256, Sep 2, 2003

Filed:

Feb 20, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/789172

Inventors:

W. Craig Brossman - Terre Hill PA
Steven F. Hynicka - Lancaster PA
Lisa Moyer - Lititz PA
William J. Kauffman - Manheim PA

Assignee:

AWI Licensing Company - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B29C 4424

US Classification:

264 464, 156 78, 156 79, 156209, 264 458, 264 465, 264 52, 264293

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a mechanically and chemically embossed surface covering having selectively textured surfaces. The method includes forming a web coated with a wear layer. The coated web is heated to a temperature at which the wear layer is cured, the foam layer expands, and the pattern is chemically embossed to form a surface covering having foamed regions and nonfoamed regions. The temperature gradient of the surface covering is adjusted such that there is a temperature gradient difference between the foamed and nonfoamed regions. A surface texture is then mechanically embossed into the wear layer and selectively set onto the wear layer substantially overlying the non-foamed regions.

Appl. No.:

10/418015

Inventors:

Kean M. Anspach - Quarryville PA, US
William J. Kauffman - Manheim PA, US

Assignee:

AWI Licensing Company - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B32B027/20

US Classification:

428520, 428522, 428142

Abstract:

Disclosed is decorative surface covering that has a substantially non-aqueous absorptive layer and a water retentive layer. The decorative surface covering may be a vinyl-backed floor covering that can be adhered to a substantially non-aqueous absorptive subfloor with a water-based adhesive. The water retentive layer is formed from a polymer matrix and super absorbent water retentive particles. The water retentive layer may also include a hydrophilic additive to facilitate movement of water from the adhesive to the super absorbent water retentive particles. The water retentive layer may also be applied to the substantially non-aqueous absorptive subfloor.

International Classification:

B32B003/10

US Classification:

428/044000

Abstract:

A non-directional tile is obtained by surface applying and consolidating a relatively thin, non-porous, multi-colored, resin particulate decorative layer onto a backing layer. The non-directionality is the result of the proper selection of resin particle size distribution and the use of contrasting colors. The result is a tile that an ordinary observer cannot discern the machine direction and a tile floor having seams that are indiscernible by an ordinary observer.

US Classification:

428172000, 428203000

Abstract:

A method and composition for providing a colored high performance wear surface for floor coverings is disclosed. Specifically, the floor covering includes a substrate and a high performance layer comprising a radiation cured pigmented composition. The exposed surface of the floor covering has a stain resistance of less than about 150 Delta E units. A pigmented high performance wear layer can be added in register with a printed design on the substrate or in register with an embossed texture of the substrate. Additionally, a high performance topcoat wear layer may be added. The pigmented high performance layer may include a nacreous pigment.
