    Method for manufacturing a substrate for a floor panel.
    This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a substrate suitable for a floor panel, more particularly a floor panel with a substrate or substrate layer of thermoplastic material. “Thermoplastic material” is understood to mean material that comprises a thermoplastic plastic, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and optionally other components, such as an additive, for example plasticizer, and / or filler
    Such floor panels are now widely known. In the document EP 1 938 963, the thin floor panel comprises one or more substrate layers of flexible PVC. Although this floor panel is waterproof and, thanks to the PVC-based top layer, offers pleasant walking comfort, despite its limited thickness, it is not really ergonomic. It is heavy and difficult to install due to the inherent flexibility. The flexible substrate also presents a non-negligible risk of telegraphy, with unevenness in the substrate becoming visible over time on the surface of the floor panels. The floor panel from document WO 2011/141849 addresses these drawbacks by its substrate of foamed thermoplastic material and in particular of so-called “closed-cell” foam. This substrate is light and forms a barrier against telegraphy. It is formed by extrusion. However, this technique has a slow production speed and, moreover, the possible degree of filling of the obtained substrate is limited.
    The method of the invention is of the type in which thermoplastic material is spread to form a substrate layer, for example on a transport device, and this spread thermoplastic material is consolidated under the influence of pressure and / or heat, preferably in a press device. Such a method is known from document WO 2013/179261. The thermoplastic material to be spread consists of granulate. A disadvantage of this is that this material, especially if it is rigid granulate, consolidates slowly, which is ne fast for the line speed. Another drawback is that it proves difficult with the granulate to obtain an acceptable foaming in the substrate. After all, the blowing agent in the granulate appears to have partly lost its effect in the granulate
    BE2017 / 5429 granulation process. Document BE 2015/5572, also in the name of the current applicant, addresses the latter drawback by spreading dryblend material instead of granulate. This dryblend material is itself thermoplastic. It is a dry free-flowing powder mixture which may comprise other powdered ingredients in addition to the plastic powder, such as an additive, for example plasticizer, and / or filler. The blowing agent mixed in such a dryblend, unlike granulate, does retain its function, resulting in better foaming. However, it appears to be difficult with this material to obtain a high degree of filling in the substrate without this substrate becoming too brittle.
    The present invention primarily contemplates an alternative method of the aforementioned type, wherein according to various preferred embodiments solutions are offered for problems of the prior art.
    To this end, the invention, according to a first independent aspect, relates to a method of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the sprinkling thermoplastic material comprises micronized material. Micronized material means material that has undergone micronization. This is a process that reduces the particle size, often down to the micrometer range or even down to the micrometer range
    0 nanometer area. The micronized material is thus obtained by comminuting the particles of a material. The average particle size of the micronized material, expressed as the D-50 value or the median of the distribution, is preferably less than 1 millimeter (mm). The micronization step can be part of the method. In such case, the method of the invention preferably includes the
    Preliminary step of forming a granulate by separating granulate granules from an extrudate of at least one thermoplastic plastic, and optionally additives such as plasticizer and filler, and, the preliminary step of comminuting the above-mentioned granulate, preferably mechanically . Such preliminary steps preferably take place offline. For the sake of clarity, it is noted that the micronized material is a thermoplastic material and thus comprises a thermoplastic plastic, such as PVC, and optionally also an additive, such as plasticizer, and / or filler. The micronized material is quite small compared to
    BE2017 / 5429, for example, granulate or even micro-granulate. In addition, there is a certain variation in the particle size, unlike with granulate, where the granules have a nearly uniform diameter. So there are both very small and larger particles in the micronized material. It appears possible to achieve a higher line speed with this material. This is because the fine distribution in the material ensures faster fusion and consolidation. Presumably, there are also less air spaces acting as insulator between the scattered particles because the smaller particles nest between the larger ones, which may contribute to faster fusion. In this material it is also easier to achieve a high degree of filling, which is not only economically advantageous, but can also promote, for example, the stiffness of the substrate. Compared to dryblend material, better mixing of the filler can be achieved, resulting in a reduced risk of an excessively brittle substrate. The fine distribution of the micronized material also makes it possible to make the substrate layer very thin. For a given substrate thickness, this means that more substrate layers may be present in the substrate, providing greater configuration freedom, as will be described later.
    The micronized material is preferably obtained by means of a mechanical comminution, preferably a mechanical comminution of granulate. So
    For example, the micronized material can be obtained by grinding material or comminuting it by another technique. The particles of the latter material can be made to collide with each other, whereby the material is crushed by mutual friction. Or the material can be broken up in a so-called ball mill. There may be another selection
    5 made from the ground or crushed material to obtain the micronized material, which can for instance be done via sieving. The grinding or grinding process can be repeated on the non-selected material.
    Preferably, the micronized material has a particle size distribution in which the median D50 and the tenth percentile D10 have the following property: (D50-D10) / D50> 50% and preferably greater than 75%.
    BE2017 / 5429
    With such a particle size distribution it is achieved that there are sufficiently small particles that can fill in the free space between the larger particles.
    The material that is micronized can be any thermoplastic material 5, but preferably it comprises the granulate or as a special form of granulate micro-granulate. This type of material has the advantage that a good mixing between the components can be achieved by the granulation process. As a result, a high proportion of filler can be obtained without problems in the granulate and thus also in the micronized material. The granules of the granulate may be spherical, but it is not excluded that these granules have a different shape and are, for example, disc-shaped or pyramidal. Or it is possible to start from thermoplastic regrind for the micronized material. This regrind comes from, for example, residual, waste or recycling flows. This may, for example, be scrap material obtained from, for example, profiles or pipes, such as PVC profiles or PVC pipes. Even with this regrind, a high degree of filling can be achieved without any problem.
    It cannot be excluded that the thermoplastic material to be spread is a mixture of the micronized material and another material. This other material is, for example, granulate, micro-granulate and / or dryblend. Granules are granules that
    0 are obtained by dividing an extrudate of the thermoplastic material, including any additives or fillers. The granules preferably exhibit an average particle size of less than 3 millimeters, or even better, less than 2 millimeters. A dryblend means the above-mentioned free-flowing powder mixture. The mixture of micronized material, preferably
    5 obtained by micronizing granulate or micro-granulate, and another material, such as granulate, micro-granulate and / or dry-blend, can be prepared in advance and then introduced into a spreading unit and sprinkled. Or the micronized material can be introduced into the spreading unit separately from the other material and mixed therewith with the other material and then mixed with the other material
    0 scattered. It should be noted that it cannot be excluded that the thermoplastic material to be spread consists only of the micronized material and for the
    BE2017 / 5429 form the substrate layer only this micronized material is used. This is desirable even for very rapid consolidation.
    In cases where the micronized material is used in a mixture with a granulate or micro-granulate, this granulate or micro-granulate preferably exhibits an average particle size that is at least twice the D-50 value of the micronized material. In this way, the properties of the micronized material and the granulate can be optimally combined. Preferably, the average particle size of the granulate is greater than the 90th percentile of the particle size distribution of the micronized material.
    The particle size of the micronized material is preferably not too small because it makes it difficult to consolidate the spread material into a stable whole. A good balance is achieved between obtaining a higher line speed on the one hand and a stable consolidated whole on the other hand if the average particle size of the micronized material, expressed as the D50 value or median of the distribution, lies between 100 and 750 micrometers. This particle size is preferably between 100 and 500 micrometers. An ideal value, the inventor determined, is about 300 micrometers. As explained above, a particle size distribution with a D50 of 300 microns preferably exhibits a tenth percentile less than 150 microns, or more preferably, a tenth percentile less than 75 microns. In the case where such micronized material is used in a mixture with granulate or micro-granulate, this granulate / micro-granulate preferably has an average particle size of more than 600 micrometers.
    The micronized material preferably includes PVC. This can be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible PVC. With rigid PVC, no plasticizer is present or less than 15 phr plasticizer. The latter means that the micronized material per 100 parts of PVC comprises less than 15 parts of plasticizer. When plasticizer is used with the rigid PVC, it is preferably in an amount of less than 12 phr, less than 10 phr or even less than 5 phr. With semi-rigid or flexible PVC, the amount of plasticizer is at least
    BE2017 / 5429 phr. Phthalate-based plasticizers such as diisononyl phthalate, abbreviated DINP, or di-octyl phthalate, abbreviated DOP or DnOP, or, as an alternative to phthalate-based plasticizers, di-octyl terephthalate, abbreviated DOTP, or diisononyl 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, abbreviated DINCH. Another type of plasticizer is not excluded. Despite the insight that the use of rigid PVC in the relevant substrate layer offers numerous advantages, such as the resistance to telegraphy and the possibility of producing strong coupling parts from it, it melts quite laboriously, resulting in a slow consolidation. However, due to its use in micronized form, it melts faster, allowing for quick consolidation. The invention is therefore particularly advantageous with this type of PVC and with rigid thermoplastic material in general.
    The micronized material may comprise one or more of the following plastics: PVC, polyethylene (PE), such as high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PU) and elastomer. Another plastic is not excluded.
    The micronized material can include filler and preferably in a fairly large amount. This is not only economically advantageous, but can also promote, for example, the stiffness of the substrate. The amount of filler is preferably between 20 and 70 percent by weight, or between 30 and 60 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the micronized material. With this micronized material, such a high filler proportion does not result in a brittle substrate layer because the filler can be mixed well. This is certainly the case if granulate or regrind is used for the production of the micronized material. It is clear that in such a case the granulate or regrind contains the same average amount of filler. Examples of filler types that can be used are an inorganic and / or mineral filler, such as chalk, talc, limestone and / or sand, or an organic filler, such as wood, cork and / or bamboo particles.
    The micronized material may comprise a copolymer, such as a vinyl acetate based copolymer, for example vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate, preferably in a
    BE2017 / 5429 quantity between 20 and 40 phr. This means that per 100 parts of plastic there are between 20 and 40 parts of copolymer. Through the copolymer, the melting temperature of the micronized material can be adjusted, further increasing the consolidation rate. Its use is also useful if the spread material is foamed, as will be apparent from the further description.
    The micronized material can include an impact modifier, a Stabilizer, such as a Ca / Zn Stabilizer, and / or a color pigment, such as carbon black.
    It should also be noted that the micronized material preferably has one or more of the aforementioned characteristics, such as those regarding the type of plastic, the type and amount of filler, the presence of a copolymer or the types of additives, in that the material to be micronized , for example the granulate or regrind, also exhibits these characteristics globally.
    As already noted, due to the fine distribution of the micronized material, it is possible to make the respective substrate layer very thin. Its thickness after consolidation can be, for example, less than 1 mm or even less than 0.75 mm, for example between 0.4 and 0.6 mm. It follows that for a given substrate thickness, this substrate can be built up from a larger number of substrate layers, which provides a greater freedom of configuration. The substrate layers can be designed differently, for example in terms of density, rigidity, filling and / or foaming degree. It is not excluded that the substrate layer is made thicker. Its thickness is preferably between 0.4 and 6 mm, between 0.4 and 4 mm or between 0.4 and 3 mm.
    Consolidation can be further accelerated, the inventor found, by heating the thermoplastic material to be spread, including the micronized material, before or during the spreading. After all, this allows for faster melting and thus faster consolidation. A uniformly elevated temperature is achieved in the spread material. Or, whether or not in combination with the previous one, the spread material can be heated before it is consolidated or before any
    BE2017 / 5429 press device starts. Preferably, the preheating, before, during and / or after spreading, leads to a temperature of 30 ° C or more at least on the surface of the spread material.
    The thermoplastic material to be spread, including the micronized material, can be spread on a reinforcement layer or a reinforcement layer can be applied to the spread, but preferably not yet consolidated, thermoplastic material. The reinforcement layer is preferably a glass fiber layer, such as, for example, a glass fiber fleece, a glass fiber cloth or a glass fiber net. The reinforcement layer acts as a support during the spreading and consolidation process. In addition, it increases the dimensional stability of the substrate at fluctuating temperature. Also, the reinforcement layer, if it is between the above-mentioned substrate layer and the sprinkled thermoplastic material of a second substrate layer, prevents a mutual mixing of the spread materials, which is certainly important if the spread materials differ, for example in terms of plastic, rigidity. , plasticizer, filling degree, density, blowing agent and so on. The reinforcement layer is preferably impregnated with the sprinkled thermoplastic material or at least with a part of this material, for example with a part of the micronized material. Certainly the impregnation with the micronized material
    0 is very smooth due to the fine distribution. Moreover, a very good embedding of the reinforcement layer is obtained, which reduces the risk of delamination and ensures an extremely stable substrate. The use of a glass fiber fleece ensures an even smoother and better impregnation. The impregnation is preferably obtained during the consolidation of the spread thermoplastic material. Optionally, the
    Reinforcement layer, whether or not in combination with the foregoing, be impregnated with thermoplastic material, for example with a plastisol, such as with a plastisol, separately and prior to sprinkling the thermoplastic material on the reinforcement layer or prior to applying the reinforcement layer to the spread substrate layer. a PVC plastisol. The weight of the reinforcement layer is preferably less than 65 grams per square meter or even at most 50 grams per Square meter, but it is not excluded that a heavier reinforcement layer is used. A light reinforcement layer is impregnated faster, which improves the
    BE2017 / 5429 consolidation speed can continue to increase. This light reinforcement layer is especially useful with rigid PVC to compensate for its more difficult melting. This also applies to rigid thermoplastic material in general. It is further noted that it cannot be excluded that more than one reinforcement layer is present in the substrate. Preferably, each of the reinforcement layers present has a weight of less than 65 grams per square meter.
    The substrate layer may or may not be foamed. If the substrate layer is not foamed, it has a very good resistance to telegraphy and indentation because it is very dense. Its density is preferably between 1300 and 2000 kg per cubic meter or more preferably between 1500 and 2000 kg per cubic meter. If the substrate layer is foamed, this provides, among other things, an increased dimensional stability at fluctuating temperatures. The foaming preferably produces a density reduction of at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30% or even at least 40% relative to the non-foamed thermoplastic material.
    In the case of foaming, the thermoplastic material to be spread also includes a blowing agent. The thermoplastic material to be spread is preferably a mixture of this blowing agent and the micronized material. The micronized material can
    0 are mixed with the blowing agent beforehand, after which this mixture is introduced into a spreading unit and sprinkled. Or they can be separately introduced into the spreading unit and mixed therein and then sprinkled. The fine distribution of the micronized material makes the blowing agent easy to mix with it. Moreover, the blowing agent is not damaged and thus remains
    5 effective. The micronized material also proves to be very easy to foam. Due to the micronized material, the consolidation is still quite fast despite the insight that the foam can act as an insulator during consolidation. In addition, a high filler content can easily be achieved with the micronized material. This is in contrast to when working with dryblend
    0 material.
    BE2017 / 5429
    The mixture preferably includes the micronized material and a dryblend material with the blowing agent. This blowing agent is preferably premixed with the dryblend material, the term "premixed" indicating that the blowing agent is mixed with the dryblend before mixing with the micronized material. In the dryblend, the blowing agent optimally retains its effectiveness. In addition, the dryblend is very easy to mix with the micronized material, which ensures very efficient and homogeneous foaming. For the sake of clarity, it is noted that the dryblend material is also a thermoplastic material. To promote the affinity between the two materials, the dryblend preferably comprises the same plastic as the micronized material, for example PVC. The rigidity is also preferably the same or almost the same. For example, if rigid PVC is used for the micronized material, this is preferably also the case for the dryblend. The same applies to semi-rigid or flexible PVC. The dryblend material preferably has only a small filler content or may even be free of filler. When filler is used, the amount of filler in the dryblend is preferably less than 20, less than 15 or even less than 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the dryblend material provided with the blowing agent. This reduces the risk of an excessively brittle substrate layer. The micronized material, on the other hand, can easily have a larger filler proportion, which means that the substrate layer, despite the presence of the dryblend
    0 can still be highly filled and sufficiently ductile, so not too brittle. To achieve the desired foaming, for example with the aforementioned density reductions, only a small amount of the dryblend material has to be used. The weight percentage of the dryblend material provided with the blowing agent relative to the total weight of the mixture is preferably between 1% and
    25% or more, preferably between 5% and 15%. The amount of micronized material is preferably larger, for instance in order to obtain a high proportion of filler in the substrate layer. The weight percentage of the micronized material relative to the total weight of the mixture is preferably between 75% and 99% or more, preferably between 85% and 95%. The aforementioned mixture can consist exclusively of the micronized material and the dryblend provided with the blowing agent. The micronized material itself is preferably free of blowing agent or if it is
    BE2017 / 5429 blowing agent preferably comprises in a smaller amount than in the dryblend. The dryblend material preferably exhibits one or both of the following characteristics:
    the dryblend material comprises PVC, preferably with a K (Fikentscher) value of at most 60;
    the dryblend material comprises a copolymer, preferably a vinyl acetate based copolymer, such as vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate, which preferably has a K (Fikentscher) value of at most 60 or at most 58; and the copolymer is present in an amount between 30 and 50 phr.
    These characteristics ensure that a fairly good mixing is achieved between the components of the dryblend. Also particularly advantageous, according to the inventor, is the use in the dryblend of PVC obtained by emulsion polymerization, abbreviated as E-PVC. Compared to S-PVC, such PVC allows the dryblend material to be finer, for example with an average particle size of less than 100 micrometers or less than 10 micrometers. This allows a better mixing of the EPVC granules with the additives or any filler. As a result, the risk of a substrate layer that is too brittle is further reduced. Due to the E-PVC, a higher amount of filler may also be present in the dryblend material. For example, its weight percentage relative to the total weight of the dryblend material can be at least 20%.
    It is also possible that the blowing agent has been mixed with the micronized material and is therefore not premixed or the like in dryblend or other material.
    The blowing agent may be a chemical blowing agent, such as azo isobutyronitrile and / or azodicarbonamide, and / or expandable microspheres, which are known from document WO 2013/178561.
    Foaming of the spread thermoplastic material preferably takes place during the consolidation of this material. Thus, if a pressing device is used for this consolidation, foaming preferably takes place in this pressing device. In this case, no additional device is required for the foaming process. However, it is desirable that the foam and consolidation parameters are coordinated. For example, it is useful
    BE2017 / 5429 that the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent is equal to or nearly equal to the melting temperature of the micronized material and / or the dryblend material. The use of the aforementioned copolymer in one or both of these materials is useful here, since the melting temperature can be matched, or matched, with the decomposition temperature via this copolymer.
    The press device is preferably a double belt press. This double belt press preferably comprises a heating zone, a cooling zone and between them a forming zone where the actual formation of the substrate layer takes place. In the heating zone, the scattered thermoplastic material is heated to achieve the melting temperature. The cooling zone ensures that the substrate can be processed further quickly, if necessary. The forming zone preferably comprises a so-called S-roll, namely a press roll which has extensive contact with the substrate layer to be pressed, for example a contact over more than 30 ° of the circumference of the roll concerned. Such a roller ensures good calibration of the substrate. Also advantageous is the use of an isochore press section in the double belt press, for example in the cooling zone, in which the substrate is calibrated. Such calibration is certainly useful if the substrate layer is foamed.
    It is further noted that the spreading of a mixture of a blowing agent provided with a blowing agent and another material is an inventive idea, without this other material necessarily having to be micronized. It allows to obtain a well-foamed product, while the other material, preferably granulate and / or micro-granulate, can be used to set other properties, such as the
    5 degree of filling and / or stiffness. The invention therefore relates, according to an independent second aspect, to a method of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the spread thermoplastic material is foamed and the thermoplastic material to be spread is therefore a mixture of at least one dryblend material provided with blowing agent and other material. The blowing agent is preferably
    0 premixed with the dryblend. The other material does not have to be micronized. Preferably the granulate and / or micro-granulate. The other material may exhibit one or more of the characteristics of the aforementioned micronized material or
    BE2017 / 5429 the material that forms the basis of the micronised material. The second aspect may have one or more of the features of the first aspect, without the thermoplastic material to be spread necessarily comprising micronized material.
    What is still advantageous is the use of E-PVC in dryblend material. It allows a better mixing of the E-PVC granules with the additives or the optional filler. Hence, according to an independent third aspect, the invention relates to a method of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the thermoplastic material to be spread comprises a dryblend material with E-PVC. In particular, a blowing agent may be present in this dryblend to foam the spread thermoplastic material. This third aspect may have one or more of the features of the previous aspects, without the thermoplastic material to be spread necessarily comprising micronized or other material. In particular, the thermoplastic material to be spread can consist entirely of the aforementioned dryblend material with E-PVC and only this material can be used to form the respective substrate layer.
    Heating the thermoplastic material to be spread also forms an inventive idea before or during the spreading. It allows faster melting and thus faster consolidation. A uniformly elevated temperature is achieved in the scattered substrate layer. Therefore, according to an independent fourth aspect, the invention relates to a method of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the thermoplastic material is pre-sprinkled and / or heated during spreading. This heating preferably results in a temperature of 30 ° C or more at least on the surface of the spread substrate layer. This fourth aspect can further exhibit one or more of the features of the previous aspects, without the thermoplastic material to be spread necessarily comprising micronized material, dryblend material or blowing agent.
    It is further noted that the substrate layer is preferably a layer with a substantially homogeneous, or completely homogeneous, composition. Preferably, no separating layer or the like, such as a reinforcing layer, is embedded in this layer.
    BE2017 / 5429
    The aforementioned substrate is a single or multilayer substrate. With a multilayer substrate, at least one of the substrate layers according to the invention is made. The other layers in the substrate may exhibit one or more of the previous features, but this is not necessarily the case. They do not even have to be produced through a spreading and consolidation process. Other techniques are possible, such as a calender or coating technique. The multiple substrate layers may or may not differ from each other, for example in terms of plastic, rigidity, plasticizer, degree of filling, density, foaming and so on.
    A decor, such as a wood or stone decor, can be applied to the substrate, as well as optionally a transparent or translucent wear layer and / or a transparent or translucent lacquer layer, preferably after the aforementioned consolidation. This is especially useful in the manufacture of a decorative floor panel, i.e. a floor panel with decor.
    The decor is preferably a printed decor. For example, the decor can be printed on a decor support, preferably on a thermoplastic film or film, such as a film or film of PVC, PE, PP, PU or PET. Or the decor can be printed directly on the substrate, which may be provided with a primer or primer. Or the decor can be printed on the underside of any wear layer.
    The wear layer preferably comprises thermoplastic material, this material, such as thermoplastic plastic, comprising PVC, PE, PP, PU and / or PET. The wear layer can be a film or foil. The thickness of the wear layer is preferably between 250 and 750 micrometers.
    The lacquer layer is preferably based on urethane acrylate, polyester acrylate and / or epoxide acrylate. The lacquer layer is preferably curable via UV or excimer radiation.
    Coupling parts can be manufactured from the substrate, or from the aforementioned substrate layer, or at least a part of these coupling parts, which allow a
    BE2017 / 5429 to provide mechanical locking between two such panels. Such coupling parts are known, for example from document WO 97/47834. The mechanical locking is preferably active in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the coupled floor panels and / or in the direction in the plane of the floor panels and perpendicular to the coupled edges. Cutting tools, such as milling tools, can be used to make the coupling parts.
    It is also noted that the substrate preferably forms a continuous material web which, after consolidation and preferably after the provision of decor, wear and / or lacquer layer, is divided into smaller pieces, for example by cutting and / or sawing operations, the size of panels. The provision of any coupling parts is preferably done after the division.
    The thickness of the entire floor panel is preferably relatively small, i.e. located between 2 and 10 mm or between 2 and 8 mm or between 3 and 8 mm. Not only does this yield material savings, it is also useful in certain applications, such as renovation works, where the floor panel can be installed on an existing floor without any problem. From the foregoing it is clear that the invention lends itself excellently to the manufacture of such thin floor panels, since it is possible to make the substrate very thin.
    It is noted that in the case of a decorative floor panel, the substrate forms the part of the floor panel that is under the decor or any decor support.
    The invention is not limited to Substrates suitable for floor panels, but can also be used advantageously in the manufacture of Substrates suitable for any panels, such as wall, ceiling or door panels. More generally, the invention can be applied to the manufacture of any substrate or plate.
    It is noted that the Value Intervals set forth herein include their stated limits, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
    BE2017 / 5429
    With the insight to better demonstrate the features of the invention, a number of preferred embodiments have been described herein, by way of example without any limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    figure 1 shows in top view a floor panel obtained by means of a method according to the invention;
    figure 2 represents a cross-section according to line II-II in figure 1;
    figures 3 and 4 show how several of the floor panels of figure 1 can be coupled;
    figure 5 is an enlarged representation of what is indicated by frame F5 in figure 2; figure 6 represents an alternative to figure 2; and figure 7 represents some steps in the method with which the floor panel of figure 1 is manufactured.
    Figure 1 shows a floor panel 1 in top view. It is a decorative floor panel 1 with a wood decor 2. The panel 1 is rectangular and elongated and thus has a few long sides 3-4 and a few short sides 5-6. The long sides 3-4 are provided with coupling parts 7-8 which enable a mechanical locking between two such panels 1 to be effected. Their structure is further described in figure 2. The short sides 5-6 can also be provided with such coupling parts.
    The structure of the floor panel 1 is clear from Figure 2. The panel 1 comprises a multilayer substrate 9, a decor support 10 with the decor 2, a transparent or translucent wear layer 11 and a transparent or translucent lacquer layer from bottom to top
    12.
    The substrate 9 consists of four substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D. Each of the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D has a substantially or completely homogeneous composition. The substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D are alien constructed of thermoplastic material. However, while the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C consist of rigid PVC, the substrate layer 9D is semi-rigid or flexible PVC. The composition of the thermoplastic material is described in more detail in figure 7. The fact that the substrate 9 is partly made of rigid PVC brings about
    BE2017 / 5429 several advantages with it. The rigid PVC, due to its inherent rigidity, forms a barrier against telegraph. Due to its rigid character, the panel 1 as a whole can also be installed more smoothly. After all, it bends less easily than flexible LVT (“Luxury Vinyl Tile”) panels. Strong coupling parts 7-8 can be milled from the rigid part of the substrate 9. These ensure a firm mechanical interlock between mutually coupled panels 1. In addition, the more flexible substrate layer 9D ensures pleasant walking comfort. It also dampens the noise that is created when walking over panels 1. The rigid substrate layers 9A-9B-9C are all non-foamed. This is also called “compact” layers. Because they are non-foamed, they offer good resistance to telegraph and indentation. The density of the layers 9A-9B-9C is between 1500 and 2000 kg per cubic meter. The more flexible substrate layer 9D is also non-foamed. The thicknesses of the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D meet the following:
    the thickness T1 of the substrate layer 9A is between 0.5 and 1.5 mm; the thickness T2 of the substrate layer 9B is between 1.35 and 2.65 mm; the thickness T3 of the substrate layer 9C is between 0.4 and 0.6 mm; and the thickness T4 of the substrate layer 9D is between 0.4 and 0.9 mm.
    The total thickness TS of the substrate 9 is between 2.65 and 5.65 mm.
    Two light glass fiber webs 13A-13B are present in the substrate 9. They each weigh less than 65 grams per square meter. The glass fleeces 13A-13B are located from the center of the panel 1, one 13A in the lower half and the other 13B in the upper half. Each of the glass webs 13A-13B is enclosed between rigid substrate layers. The bottom glass web 13A is sandwiched between layers 9A and 9B and the top glass web 13B between layers 9B and 9C. This provides a particularly stable sandwich structure with a reduced risk of warping.
    The decor carrier 10 is a PVC film printed with the wood decor 2. Its thickness is about 0.1 mm. The wear layer 11 is a PVC film. The thickness T5 of the wear layer 11 is between 0.25 and 0.75 mm and here about 0.55 mm. The lacquer layer 12 is based on a UV-curable PU lacquer. It is not excluded more than one
    BE2017 / 5429 paint layer. This is described in document BE 2016/5732, also from the current applicant, but not yet published when submitted.
    The thickness T of the entire panel 1 is between 3 and 6.5 mm and here about 4.5 mm.
    The panel 1 is provided with a chamfer or bevel 14 along the top edge of the long sides 3-4. The bevels 14 do not extend deeper than the wear layer 11. In a variant, the bevels 14 can extend into the substrate 9. These deeper commands are preferably decorated. This can be done, for example, by providing a separate layer of paint on it.
    The coupling parts 7-8 are mainly manufactured from the rigid substrate layers 9A-9B-9C. This ensures that they are strong and thus provide a firm mechanical interlock between mutually coupled panels 1. The coupling parts 7-8 consist of a tooth 15 and a groove 16. The groove 16 is bounded by an upper lip 17 and a longer lower lip 18. The cooperation between the top of the tooth 15 and the underside of the upper lip 17 in the coupled state effects the locking in the direction V. There are also locking elements 19-20 which counteract the movement of the tooth 15 and the groove 16 in the direction H. The locking elements 19-20 are provided on the underside of the tooth 15 and the top of the lower lip 18. The lower glass web 13A is located in the lower lip 18 and extends continuously therein. This ensures a sturdy lip. This strength is advantageous since this lip 18 is bent during coupling and is therefore subject to a fair amount of load. Even after the coupling, the lip 18 can still be bent to provide a tension force which presses the coupled panels 1 together. In this case, one speaks of "bias", as known from document WO 97/47834.
    The coupling parts 7-8 are of the "revolving type". This means that they can be joined together by a movement W as illustrated in figure 3. The locking elements 19-20 are brought one behind the other by a rotary movement.
    BE2017 / 5429
    Moreover, they are also of the “snap type”. That is, the coupling parts 7-8 can be joined together by a movement S as illustrated in figure 4. The locking elements 19-20 are brought one behind the other by a translation movement substantially or completely parallel to the plane of the panels 1 There is hereby a snap effect due to the elastic movement of the lower lip 18.
    It is also noted that 5-6 coupling parts may also be provided on the short sides. They can be of the same type or the same shape as the coupling parts 7-8, but this is not necessarily the case. They can be of the revolving and / or snap type. However, they can also be of the "push-lock" type. Such coupling parts can be joined together via a translating movement substantially or completely perpendicular to the plane of the floor panels. In this case, the panel 1 can also be coupled in one and the same revolving movement both on its long side and on its short side with adjacent panels 1. This is referred to as a "folddown" panel, as known from document WO 01/75247 .
    Figure 5 is an enlarged representation of what is indicated by frame F5 in Figure 2. It is clear that a relief 21 is present in the top surface of the panel 1. This relief 21 is used to simulate a wood texture. It is formed by mechanical embossing. A roller can be used for this. The relief 21 consists of several indentations 22. The relief 21 may or may not be in register with the wood decor 2. The relief 21 does not extend deeper than the wear layer 11. In a variant, a deeper relief can be applied. For this purpose the substrate 9 can be deformed. The use of the more flexible substrate layer 9D is hereby advantageous because, due to the inherent flexibility, it can be easily pressed by, for example, the roller.
    Figure 6 shows an alternative substrate structure. The substrate 9 consists of five substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D-9E. Each of these substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D9E also has a substantially or completely homogeneous composition. All the substrate layers 9A9B-9C-9D-9E are constructed from thermoplastic material. As in Figure 2, some of these layers are made of rigid PVC and are not foamed. These are the substrate layers 9A and 9C. The substrate layer 9B also consists of rigid PVC, but it is
    BE2017 / 5429 foamed. The advantage of this is that the entire panel 1 can be made thicker without being much heavier. Such a layer also appears to be more stable under the influence of temperature variations than non-foamed layers. The substrate layer 9D again consists of semi-rigid or flexible PVC. The substrate layer 9E consists of XPE foam and is glued to the substrate layer 9A. This mainly provides sound attenuation. In a variant, this layer 9D can be constructed from another sound-damping material, such as cork or the like. The thicknesses of the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C-9D-9E meet the following:
    the thickness T1 of the substrate layer 9A is between 0.5 and 1.5 mm and in particular here about 0.9 mm;
    the thickness T2 of the substrate layer 9B is between 2.35 and 3.15 mm and in particular here about 2.8 mm;
    the thickness T3 of the substrate layer 9C is between 0.4 and 0.6 mm, and here in particular about 0.5 mm;
    the thickness T4 of the substrate layer 9D is between 0.4 and 0.9 mm; and the thickness T5 of the substrate layer 9E is between 1 and 2 mm.
    The total thickness TS of the substrate 9 is between 4.65 and 8.15 mm.
    Two light glass membranes 13A-13B are again present in the substrate 9. They each weigh less than 65 grams per square meter. They enclose the foamed substrate layer 9B and on their other side they are bounded by the substrate layers 9A and 9C, respectively. This again provides a very stable sandwich structure.
    The decor carrier 10, the wear layer 11 and the lacquer layer 12 are similar or identical to those in Figure 2.
    The thickness T of the entire panel 1 is between 5 and 9 mm and here about 7 mm.
    Orders 14 are also provided. Also in the top surface of the panel 1 there is a relief, which is not shown.
    BE2017 / 5429
    The coupling parts 7-8 are similarly designed to the one in figure 2. They are also of the revolving and snap type.
    It is further noted that the panel and substrate structure shown in Figures 2 and 6 is known from documents BE 2016/5868 and BE 2016/5869, both from the same applicant, but not yet published upon submission. Variants described therein can also be used here.
    Figure 7 shows how the substrate 9 of Figures 2 and 6 can be manufactured. Thermoplastic material 23A is sprinkled to form the substrate layer 9A. This material 23A is spread on the conveyor belt 25 via the spreading unit 24A. The material 23A consists entirely of micronized material. This micronized material has the following characteristics:
    the micronized material includes rigid PVC and at most 10 phr plasticizer; the micronized material includes filler, such as chalk, talc and / or limestone, having a weight percentage of between 30% and 60% of the total weight of the micronized material and here having a weight percentage of about 45%; and the micronized material comprises between 20 and 40 phr vinyl chloride vinyl acetate and here about 30 phr of this copolymer.
    Micronization has taken place offline. In the micronization, granulate with the same characteristics as mentioned above is ground. The granules of the granulate were disc-shaped. From this crushed granulate, the micronized material was selected by sieving. The unselected and thus coarser material was recycled and sent back to the grinding process. The D50 value of the micronized material is between 100 and 750 micrometers and here about 300 micrometers.
    The thermoplastic material 23A is preheated in the spreading unit 24A. This is possible by thermally irradiating this material 23A therein. A variant is possible if a rotating metering roller is present in the spreading unit 23A. Then this dosing roller can be used
    BE2017 / 5429 is heated and material 23A is heated while being transported through this roller.
    The glass fleece 13A is applied to the scattered substrate layer 9A. This glass web 13A is unwound from the roll 26A.
    Thermoplastic material 23B is sprinkled to form the substrate layer 9B. This material 23 B is sprinkled via the spreading unit 24B on the conveyor belt 25 and in particular on the glass fleece 13A. This material is also preheated in the spreading unit 24B. In the substrate layer 9B of Figure 2, the material 23B exhibits the same characteristics as mentioned above for the material 23 A. Thus, it consists entirely of micronized material produced in the aforementioned manner. This is different for the substrate layer 9B of figure 6. Here the material 23B is a mixture of micronized material and dryblend material. The mixture is prepared before being introduced into the spreading unit 24B. The dryblend material contains a blowing agent for foaming the material 23B. It is a chemical blowing agent, namely azodicarbonamide. The blowing agent is premixed in the dryblend material. The micronized material has the same characteristics as mentioned above for material 23A. It is also similarly manufactured by grinding offline granulate. The micronized material itself is free from blowing agent. The dryblend material has the following characteristics:
    the dryblend material includes rigid PVC and here about 12 phr plasticizer; the PVC has a K (Fikentscher) value of at most 60;
    - the PVC is S-PVC;
    the dryblend material comprises vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate with a K (Fikentscher) value of at most 58 and in an amount between 30 and 50 phr and here in an amount of about 40 phr; and the dryblend material includes filler, such as chalk, talc and / or limestone, with a weight percentage relative to the total weight of the dryblend material of less than 10% and here with a weight percentage of about 7% to 8%.
    BE2017 / 5429
    The mixture consists of about 90% of the micronized material and about 10% of the dryblend material provided with the blowing agent.
    The glass fleece IB is applied to the scattered substrate layer 9B. This glass web 13B is unwound from the roi 26B.
    Thermoplastic material 23C is spread to form the substrate layer 9C. This material 23 C is sprinkled via the spreading unit 24C on the conveyor belt 25 and in particular on the glass fleece 13B. The material 23C has the same characteristics as mentioned above for the material 23A. It therefore consists entirely of micronized material produced in the aforementioned manner. This material 23C is also preheated in the spreading unit 24C.
    The consolidation of the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C takes place in the heated pressing device 27. It is a double belt press with heating elements 28, an S-roller 29 and cooling elements 30. In this pressing device, the glass membranes 13A-13B are also impregnated with the thermoplastic material of the substrate layers 9A-9B-9C. This goes very smoothly because they are quite light and because of the use of the micronized material. Foaming of the scattered material of the substrate layer 9B of figure 6 also takes place in this pressing device 27.
    Once out of the pressing device 27, the substrate 9 can be further processed. The more flexible substrate layer 9D is applied to the substrate layer 9C. This is done via the calender device 31. The substrate layer 9D is applied as a liquid mass by means of at least two calender rolls 32 to the consolidated substrate layer 9C.
    Then the decor carrier 10 provided with the decor 2 and the wear layer 11 can be applied to the substrate layer 9D. This can be done, for example, via a thermal laminating process. The decor carrier 10 and the wear layer 11 can herein be applied as a continuous film. They may or may not be applied together.
    BE2017 / 5429
    The lacquer layer 12 is then provided on the wear layer 11. This is preferably done by means of a roller. The UV curable PU lacquer 12 can be applied before or after mechanical embossing of the relief 21. If the lacquer 12 is applied in advance, the curing is preferably done afterwards. It is not excluded that the paint
    12 is already partially cured before embossing. The lacquer 12 is cured with UV lamps.
    Afterwards, the continuous web is divided into smaller pieces to form the panels 1. This can be done by means of a sawing or cutting process.
    The substrate layer 9E of figure 6 is glued to the substrate layer 9A. This gluing takes place, for example, after the division of the material web, but can also be done for this. A waterproof glue is preferably used for gluing. The substrate layer E is extruded. In a variant, the layer 9E can also be spread and consolidated together with the other spread layers 9A-9B-9C. For this purpose, for example, an additional spreading unit can be provided upstream of the spreading unit 24A.
    After the division, the coupling parts 7-8 can be milled from the substrate 9. Rotary milling tools are preferably used for this purpose. This is known from the
    0 document WO 97/47834.
    The present invention is by no means limited to the above-described embodiments, but such floor panels and substrates can be realized according to different variants without departing from the scope of the present
    5 invention.
