The present invention relates to methods of manufacturing moulded products, for example building panels, and in particular, but not exclusively, to manufacturing a panel comprising natural stone or rock set into a polymeric layer. The method of manufacturing a moulded product as described herein comprises at least one article being set into a polymeric layer, followed by placing the at least one article and particulate ferrous material in a container so that at least a portion of the or each article is embedded in the particulate ferrous material, introducing a polymeric material into the container to form the moulded product, and removing the moulded product from the container.
B29C 45/14 - Injection moulding, i.e. forcing the required volume of moulding material through a nozzle into a closed mouldApparatus therefor incorporating preformed parts or layers, e.g. injection moulding around inserts or for coating articles
B29C 44/12 - Incorporating or moulding on preformed parts, e.g. inserts or reinforcements
B29C 39/10 - Shaping by casting, i.e. introducing the moulding material into a mould or between confining surfaces without significant moulding pressureApparatus therefor for making articles of definite length, i.e. discrete articles incorporating preformed parts or layers, e.g. casting around inserts or for coating articles
B29C 70/84 - Moulding material on preformed parts to be joined
B29C 67/24 - Shaping techniques not covered by groups , or characterised by the choice of material
B29K 709/00 - Use of inorganic materials not provided for in groups , for preformed parts, e.g. for inserts
B29K 75/00 - Use of polyureas or polyurethanes as moulding material
B29C 44/40 - Feeding the material to be shaped into a closed space, i.e. to make articles of definite length by gravity, e.g. by casting
B63B 1/00 - Hydrodynamic or hydrostatic features of hulls or of hydrofoils
B29C 33/16 - Moulds or coresDetails thereof or accessories therefor with incorporated means for positioning inserts, e.g. labels against the mould wall using magnetic means
B29K 105/12 - Condition, form or state of moulded material containing reinforcements, fillers or inserts of short lengths, e.g. chopped filaments, staple fibres or bristles
E04C 2/26 - Building elements of relatively thin form for the construction of parts of buildings, e.g. sheet materials, slabs, or panels characterised by specified materials composed of materials covered by two or more of groups , , , or of materials covered by one of these groups with a material not specified in one of these groups
E04F 13/08 - Coverings or linings, e.g. for walls or ceilings composed of covering or lining elementsSub-structures thereforFastening means therefor composed of a plurality of similar covering or lining elements
E04F 13/14 - Coverings or linings, e.g. for walls or ceilings composed of covering or lining elementsSub-structures thereforFastening means therefor composed of a plurality of similar covering or lining elements of stone or stone-like materials, e.g. ceramicsCoverings or linings, e.g. for walls or ceilings composed of covering or lining elementsSub-structures thereforFastening means therefor composed of a plurality of similar covering or lining elements of glass
B29C 44/42 - Feeding the material to be shaped into a closed space, i.e. to make articles of definite length using pressure difference, e.g. by injection or by vacuum
B29C 44/08 - Shaping by internal pressure generated in the material, e.g. swelling or foaming for articles of definite length, i.e. discrete articles using several expanding steps
