High-Quality Flame-Retardant Decorative Finish for Interior Panels

摘要

A high-quality, fire-resistant, decorative finish for panels made of composite material, such as aircraft interior panels. Starting with a flat or complex contoured panel, a flame-retardant filler primer is applied to the panel surface. This filler primer is then sanded to a very smooth solid surface. In a separate process, a polymeric film is printed with a desired pattern or image. The polymeric film is then bonded to the primed panel surface using an adhesive. The non-printed side of the polymeric film is bonded to the panel. A thin highly durable polymeric coating (clear or tinted) is then applied to the exposed printed side.

主权项

1. A finished panel comprising a panel having a surface and a finish applied on said surface of said panel, wherein said finish comprises:
a filler material comprising one or more flameproofing agents applied on said surface of said panel to form a filled panel surface, said filler material being smoother on a side facing away from said panel than on a side in contact with said panel; a polymeric film comprising a first polymeric material, said polymeric film comprising a first side facing said smoothened side of the filler material and a second side facing away from said smoothened side of the filler material; ink on said second side of said polymeric film, said ink forming a pattern or an image; a layer of adhesive disposed between and in contact with said smoothened side of said filler material and said second side of said polymeric film; and a polymeric coating covering said second side of said polymeric film, said polymeric coating comprising a second polymeric material.
