Process for manufacturing inlaid types of sheet materials

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, An improved process particularly adapted for making, that type of sheet vinyl covering materials known as inlaids by first depositing resinous particles on a wet ungelled layer of PVC plastisol or organosol and then passing the sheet between a heated, cylindrical surface and a means for gradually and uniformly increasing the contact pressure between the cylindrical surface and the coated surface of the sheet. Upon completion of the step a, substantially uniformly, gelled matrix layer is produced with the resinous particles embedded therein and having a, smooth and firm surface of uniform thickness.
