Abstract

Disclosed are a multilayer coating film made from a natural material and a method of producing the same. The multilayer coating film may be produced by forming a multilayer coating film through formation of a color coating film for providing adhesion and color to a cork on the cork material and a clear coating film for realizing texture and supplementing properties on the color coating film. As such, the multilayer coating film may be made from a natural material to diversify the color and gloss of cork as a natural material, to additionally increase marketability of an interior material and provide various appearance, to prevent discoloration due to light (e.g. UV light.) and water permeation, and to enhance durability against abrasion, scratches and the like.

Claims (18)

1. A method of producing a multilayer coating film, comprising:

providing a cork layer;

preparing a color coating composition and a clear coating composition;

coating the color coating composition on the cork layer to form a color coating film; and

coating the clear coating composition on the color coating film to form a clear coating film,

wherein the color coating composition comprises an amount of about 30 to 50% by weight of a waterborne polyurethane resin, an amount of about 10 to 30% by weight of a waterborne acrylic resin, an amount of about 0.3 to 5% by weight of a coloring pigment, an amount of about 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of a wetting agent, an amount of about 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of a defoaming agent, an amount of about 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of a hardening accelerator, an amount of about 0.5 to 5.0% by weight of a first light stabilizer, an amount of about 0.1 to 3.0% by weight of a thickener, and an amount of about 5 to 30% by weight of a first solvent, all the % by weight based on the total weight of the color coating composition, and

wherein the clear coating composition comprises an amount of about 20 to 40% by weight of an acrylic resin, an amount of about 5 to 15% by weight of a polyester polyol, an amount of about 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of a reaction catalyst, an amount of about 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of a wetting additive, an amount of about 1.0 to 2.0% by weight of a second light stabilizer, an amount of about 1.0 to 5.0% by weight of a quencher, an amount of about 10 to 20% by weight of a hardener, and an amount of about 25 to 30% by weight of a second solvent, all the % by weight based on the total weight of the clear coating composition,

wherein the waterborne polyurethane resin comprises an amount of about 5 to 30% by weight of isocyanate, an amount of about 2 to 10% by weight of hydrophilic polyol, an amount of about 30 to 60% by weight of polycarbonate diol, an amount of about 5 to 25% by weight of a solvent, and an amount of about 1 to 5% by weight of a neutralizer, all % by weights based on the total weight of the waterborne polyurethane resin,

wherein the waterborne acrylic resin comprises an amount of about 50 to 80% by weight of a methacrylic monomer having an aliphatic group, an amount of about 5 to 20% by weight of a methacrylic monomer having a hydroxyl group, an amount of about 3 to 10% by weight of a methacrylic monomer having an acid radical, and an amount of about 10 to 20% by weight of an acrylic monomer, all the % by weight based on the total weight of the waterborne acrylic resin,

wherein the wetting agent is one or more selected from the group consisting of siloxane modified with polyether, a polyether-siloxane copolymer, polydimethyl siloxane, and polydimethylsiloxane modified with polyether,

wherein the hardening accelerator is one or more selected from the group consisting of trimethylene diamine, stannous octoate, dibutyltin dilaurate, and lead 2-ethylhexonate,

wherein the light stabilizer of the color coating composition is one or more selected from the group consisting of benzophenones, oxanilides, benzotriazoles, triazines, 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin, and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl-3,5-di-tert-butyl-hydroxybenzoid,

wherein the thickener is one or more selected from the group consisting of acrylic thickeners, urethane, and ethylene-vinyl acetate,

wherein the acrylic resin of the clear coating composition has an acid value of about 3 to 10 mg/KOH, comprises a hydroxyl group in a content of about 1 to 3%, and has a glass transition temperature of about 40 to 50° C. and a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of about 6,000 to 15,000,

wherein the polyester polyol comprises a hydroxyl group in a content of about 4 to 6% and has a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of about 3,000 to 10,000,

wherein the reaction catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate,

wherein the wetting additive is a polydimethylsiloxane-based material.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the color coating film is of about 5 to 10 μm and a thickness of the clear coating film is of about 25 to 35 μm.
