Flexible and extensible material for decorating (non)metallic surface has a layer of high ultimate elongation material and another layer obtained by immersing the first layer on a plastic, pigmentable material

摘要

A flexible and extensible material has sheet/layer of high ultimate elongation material by spreading on a support, and second sheet/layer obtained by immersing the first layer in a material having high plastic elongation, is pigmentable, has low friction coefficient, and is selected from polyvinyl butyraldehyde, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane, polyethylene, or polyamide. Independent claims are also included for: (a) A method of decorating (non)metallic surface comprising preparing a flexible and extensible sheet/tape material having a pigmented and/or coated side; uniformly applying its side to the surface of any configuration of object(s) to be decorated, utilizing the extensibility of the material under pressure and/or suction; heating the object(s) in contact with the material to 100-230 [deg]C, thus causing pigmentation or coating material to transfer to the surface of the object(s); (b) an apparatus for producing flexible and extensible material comprising a first spreading station (3) to spread a first material that is 10-2000 mu m thick on a ribbon support (1) having a preset roughness and/or marking and withstanding at least 220 [deg]C; first drying oven(s) (8) for the first spread material, which operates at less than 240 [deg]C; a second spreading unit (10) for spreading a second material, with a thickness of 10-100 mu m, onto a second support; and second drying and/or stabilization oven(s) (12) at 100-200 [deg]C; (c) a method for producing silicone film comprising preparing a supporting layer of paper, polyolefin, or metal; optionally applying a release agent coating one support layer rubber to obtain a composite multiple layer film (18) to one side of the support layer by using a rotogravure or flexographic printing machine; baking the composite film at 10 s to 10 min; and cooling the film in air or by air convection.
