Abstract

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.
