Polymeric foam compositions and method of making substrates made from such compositions and method of making products made from such substrates and method of making

摘要

A polymeric foam composition is provided for use as a substrate (1) in decorative compositions having at least one decorative layer (2) on the substrate (1), wherein the substrate is prepared eg. by foaming a composition made of (i) a resin matrix of one or more polymers selected from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers, polycarbonates, polystyrenes, polyphenylene oxide ad polyvinyl chloride polymers, preferably obtained from recycled plastics. The resulting foam composition has physical and mechanical properties sufficient for its use in place of fiberboard or particle board in the preparation of various decorative products such as decorative laminate, microveneer decorative laminate, metal films, metal foils, metal sheets, solid surface materials, solid surface veneer, solid surface laminate, and solid surfacing dimensional laminate.
