PVC-plastic panel

1. A method for manufacturing a panel, particularly a wall, ceiling or floor panel, comprising following steps:

(i) Providing a carrier layer made of plastic material, in particular based on polyvinyl chloride;

(ii) Applying a priming coat;

(iii) Imprinting a decorative pattern onto the priming coat, wherein printing ink is used for printing the decorative pattern that includes N-vinylcaprolactam or a polymerizable acrylate and N-vinylcaprolactam;

(iv) Applying at least a first polymer layer onto the priming coat;

(v) Optional: Applying at least a second liquid polymer layer onto the still moist first polymer layer, such that a partial mixing of the polymer layers takes place; and

(vi) Curing the polymer layer(s), wherein at least the printing ink and the applied polymer layer are jointly cured.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step (v) and (vi) are conducted, such that the cured polymer layer provides a hardness gradient, wherein the hardness of the coating decreases with increasing depth seen from the surface of the resulting coating.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the printing ink includes: a) a polymerizable acrylate; and also b) N-vinylcaprolactam with a weight rate (%) in the printing ink of 2 to 50.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the printing ink and the applied polymer layer are jointly cured by radiation.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the primer of step (ii) is applied by means of a curtain coating method.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after step (ii) the primer is dried before step (iii).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the décor layer is imprinted by digital printing.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the printing ink includes: a) a polymerizable acrylate; and also b) N-vinylcaprolactam with a weight rate (%) in the printing ink of 10 to 30%.
