ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the process for producing a decorative surface covering having a multilevel embossed wear surface wherein, a layer of vinyl chloride resin dryblend which may be foamable or unfoamable, and which contains a polymerizable monomer having at least two olefinically unsaturated sites is formed. After sintering to achieve a solid but porous layer having substantial voids throughout, a plurality of resinous ink compositions, formulated to produce varying degrees of elevation in the final product, are applied in a design. Among the inks used are non-monomer-containing ink compositions which may include foamable and non-foamable inks and which may or may not include a catalyst for the monomer in the dryblend. The improvement of this invention comprises the inclusion in the plurality of inks printed in a design on the monomer-containing dryblend layer of an ink containing the same polymerizable monomer as that in the dryblend, and a catalyst for the monomer. Upon subsequent heat and fusion, the areas to which the inks containing the monomer and/or the catalyst for the monomer were applied will have a different height and surface texture from those produced by the other inks and from that of surrounding regions where no ink was applied; thus producing an embossed textured effect.
