摘要：
A three-dimensional printed ceiling board facing material is disclosed in which a greige, foam-coated fabric is selectively printed with an expandable print paste or foamable plastisol. Upon heating, the expandable or foamable coating is substantially increased in size and bonded to the coated substrate. Novel and attractive architectural effects and hand are achieved while the facing meets commercial requirements of light fastness, heat stability and flame resistance. The printed fabric is useful as a ceiling board facing when a highly visible three-dimensional appearance is required.
技术功效语段：
It is an object of the present invention to produce an improved flame-retardant fabric for ceiling board facing by printing a suitable base fabric with an expandable or foamable print paste resulting in a textured, three-dimensional appearance.
It is another object of the present invention to develop improved fabric for ceiling board facing which exhibits flame resistance, color stability (light fastness) and heat stability.
It is a further object of the present invention to develop improved fabric for ceiling board facing which exhibits distinct and varied surface three-dimensional features that are architecturally pleasing and commercially accepable.
These and other objects are achieved by selectively applying to a suitable base fabric, either woven or non-woven, an expandable or foamable print paste in areas where the raised three-dimensional pattern is desired and causing the print paste to expand or foam to the requisite height under controlled drying and/or curing conditions. The three-dimensional fabric of the present invention has a highly visual three-dimensional look and has a coarse, rough and pebbly architectural hand. Various effects are readily obtained, both visually and spacially, by employing different print patterns, controlling the degree of foaming and hence the height of the print from the substrate surface. Dyes or pigments may be added to the print paste before expansion or the basic fabric may be colored or dyed before expansion of the print paste.
权利要求：
What is claimed is:
1. A process of manufacturing a cellular foam coated three-dimensional fabric useful as a ceiling board facing and the like comprising the steps of:
applying a foamable, expandable print paste on at least one surface of a fabric in an irregular architectural pattern said print paste including an pigment and a flame retardant wherein said print paste is applied in a discontinuous architectural pattern, and
expanding and curing the thus applied print paste to form raised areas on said fabric at the deposition points of said print paste to provide on said fabric a three-dimensional printed ceiling board facing material.
2. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said fabric is a texture glass fabric.
3. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said print paste includes titanium dioxide as the pigment and antimony oxide as the flame retardant.
4. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said print paste also includes fillers that impart a dry, raspy hand to the expanded print paste.
5. The process as in claim 1 wherein said flame retardant includes a mixture of antimony oxide and decarbromobiphenyl oxide.
6. A process of manufacturing a cellular foam-coated fabric having a three-dimensional pattern printed thereon useful as a ceiling board facing and the like, said process comprising the successive steps of:
(1) forming on at least one face of a fabric a uniform layer of cellular foamed latex containing vinyl chloride polymer, a cell producing surfactant, a powdered pigment and a flame retardant;
(2) passing said fabric coated with a uniform layer of cellular foamed latex thereon between gapped means for removing foam and sculpturing said uniform layer of cellular foamed latex,
(3) drying and curing said cellular foam coated fabric;
(4) printing a foamable, expandable print paste onto the thus formed cellular foam coated surface of the fabric in a discontinuous predetermined architectural pattern, said print paste containing a pigment and a flame retardant; and thereafter
(5) expanding and curing the thus applied print paste to form raised areas on said fabric at the print paste deposition areas to provide a fabric having cellular, foam-coated, sculptured surface with a three-dimensional pattern thereon.
7. The process as claimed in claim 6 wherein the pigment applied in step (1) is different from the pigment applied in step (4).
8. The process as claimed in claim 6 wherein the foam layer applied in step (1) and step (4) both contain fillers that impart a dry, raspy hand to the expanded print paste.
9. A decorative ceiling board facing fabric including on one surface thereof a uniform cellular layer of foamed and cured material having had printed thereon a foamable, expandable printing paste in a discontinuous predetermined architectural pattern, the foamable printing paste having been expanded and cured.
10. A decorative acoustical wall or ceiling surfacing fabric comprising a fibrous glass fabric having had foamable printing paste printed on one side thereof in a discontinuous predetermined architectural pattern, the foamable printing paste having been expanded and cured.
