A COMPOSITE PANEL FOR STRUCTURAL AND DECORATIVE SURFACES

The present invention is enclosed in the area of panels for structural and decorative surfaces, in particular panels containing polymer-based materials, suitable for the coating of surfaces, for example, and containing such polymer-based materials in the respective layers. The present invention may relate to the integration of polymer granules, recycled or unrecycled, being particularly relevant when the granules are obtained from end-of-life polymer-based materials, for instance obtained from car tires into the core of compact laminate boards. It is therefore an object of the present invention a composite panel (100) for structural and decorative surfaces wherein it comprises a core panel, the core panel (10) comprising a mixture of granules of a polymeric material and a bonding element (1), the bonding element providing for the bonding of the granules of a polymeric material. The panel solution (100) of the present invention can be applied to structural and decorative surfaces which have to be resistant to high moisture, such as walls, ceilings or floors of bathrooms, kitchens, locker rooms in public pools and schools, or others, in which prior art boards are over performing and require the use of more complex components.
