Abstract
The invention relates to a resinous polymer sheet material having surface decorative effects of contrasting gloss and to the method of making the same. The material is made by applying to a base a printing composition layer forming a pattern with designated areas containing a photoinitiator and then applying to said printing composition layer a resinous polymer wear layer having therein an actinic radiation curable polymerizable and cross-linkable monomeric materials. The composite thus produced is exposed to actinic radiation so that the areas above where the photoinitiators were applied are cross-linked. The product is then heated to form the composition. The resulting product has a lower gloss in such areas as compared to the remainder of the surface of the sheet.
