Abstract

Disclosed is a projection and communication board, having a double-sided enamelled steel plate with an enamel undercoat, on which a second white enamel coat is laid on the writing side, which after annealing presents a roughness defined by Ra =0.6-1.2 μm, Rz =3.0-8.0 μm, and R3z =3.0-8.0 μm. On this a third thin finishing coat is applied consisting of enamel powder, more than 90% of which consists of grains of less than 15 μm, and which after annealing presents a roughness defined by Ra =0.4-1.4 μm, Rz =2.0-6.0 μm, and R3z =2.0-6.0 μm.

Claims (25)

1. Projection and communication board, characterised in that it consists of a double-sided enamelled steel plate with an enamel undercoat, on which a second white enamel coat is laid on the writing side, which after annealing presents a roughness of:

Ra =

0.6-1.2 μm

Rz =

3.0-8.0 μm

R3z =

3.0-8.0 μm

and on which a third thin finishing coat is applied consisting of enamel powder, more than 90% of which consists of grains of less than 15 μm, and which after annealing presents a roughness of:

Ra =

0.4-1.4 μm

Rz =

2.0-6.0 μm

R3z =

2.0-6.0 μm.

2. Projection and communication board according to claim 1 , characterised in that the enamel undercoat has a thickness of 30 to 50 μm, the second white enamel coat has a thickness of 50 to 70 μm and the third finishing coat has a thickness of 5 to 10 μm.

3. Projection and communication board according to claim 1 , characterised in that the composition of the enamel undercoat, the second white enamel coat and the third thin finishing coat contains silicon oxide, boron oxide, aluminium oxide, potassium oxide and lithium oxide, and in addition cobalt oxide and nickel oxide are also present in the enamel undercoat, and titanium oxide and zirconium oxide are present in the second white enamel coat, and titanium oxide is present in the third thin finishing coat.

4. Projection and communication board according to claim 1 , characterised in that the gloss measurements of the ready-to-use projection and communication board indicate a gloss tolerance of 7.5+/−1.5 GU or less at a measurement angle of 20°, and a gloss tolerance of 40+/−5 GU or less at a measurement angle of 60°.

5. Method for manufacturing the projection and communication board of claim 1 , characterised in that it consists of the following steps:

the double-sided application of the enamel undercoat by wet coating an aqueous mixture on a steel support;

the annealing of the enamel undercoat at a temperature of more than 800° C., such that the undercoat with the steel support is fused and attached thereto;

the application of the second white enamel coat on the writing side of the board by wet coating an aqueous enamel mixture on the already annealed and cooled enamel undercoat;

the annealing of the second white enamel coat at a temperature of 800° C., such that it adheres to the undercoat;

the application of a third thin finishing coat on the second enamel coat by screen-printing, whereby a printing paste consisting of approximately two thirds enamel powder and one third screen printing medium is used, whereby at least 90% of the enamel powder grains are smaller than 15 μm, spread through a screen with a calibre of 57 μm, whereby a printing paste volume of 15 to 25 cm 3 /m 2 is produced;

the annealing of the third thin finishing coat at a temperature of 600° C. to 700° C., whereby the finishing coat is attached to the second white enamel coat;

the cutting of the projection and communication board to the desired dimensions.
