PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF SLABS MADE OF RESIN-BONDED MINERAL GRITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051181 titled 'PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF SLABS MADE OF RESIN-BONDED MINERAL GRITS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a process for manufacturing slabs made of resin-bonded mineral grits. The process involves several phases, including the supply of a mixture of mineral grits and resins, compaction of the mixture to obtain a compacted slab, hardening of the slab to obtain a finished slab with at least one exposed surface and intrinsic porosity, decoration of the exposed surface with ink using digital printing, and an increase in the intrinsic porosity of the finished slab to promote ink penetration.

  • The process involves supplying a mixture of mineral grits and resins.
  • The mixture is compacted to obtain a compacted slab.
  • The compacted slab is hardened to obtain a finished slab with intrinsic porosity.
  • The exposed surface of the finished slab is decorated with ink using digital printing.
  • Prior to decoration and after hardening, the intrinsic porosity of the finished slab is increased to promote ink penetration.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Manufacturing of decorative slabs for architectural purposes.
  • Production of customized slabs for interior design and home decor.
  • Creation of personalized slabs for artistic and creative applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhances the ability to decorate the surface of resin-bonded mineral grit slabs.
  • Improves ink penetration into the slabs, resulting in more vibrant and detailed designs.
  • Provides a method for increasing the intrinsic porosity of the slabs, facilitating ink absorption.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Allows for the creation of unique and visually appealing designs on slabs.
  • Provides a cost-effective and efficient process for manufacturing decorated slabs.
  • Offers customization options for customers, allowing them to choose specific designs for their slabs.


Original Abstract Submitted

a process (method, system, etc.) for the manufacturing of slabs made of resin-bonded mineral grits comprises at least the phases of: supply of at least one mixture made of mineral grits and resins; compaction of the mineral grits and resins to obtain a compacted slab; hardening of the compacted slab to obtain a finished slab provided with at least one exposed surface and having an intrinsic degree of porosity; decoration with ink by digital printing of the exposed surface according to at least one predefined design; and, prior to the decoration and subsequently to the hardening, at least one phase of increase in the intrinsic degree of porosity of the finished slab, adapted to promote the penetration of the ink in the finished slab.
