Films expressing metallic appearance using ultraviolet curable resin and method of manufacturing thereof
The present invention relates to a film in which a protective layer ( 100 ), a base material sheet ( 200 ), a UV-curable resin layer ( 300 ) having a concave-convex surface, a metallic layer ( 400 ), a primer layer ( 500 ), and an adhesion layer ( 600 ) are laminated in sequential order. Also, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing said film.
1. A method for manufacturing an interior film for providing a metallic appearance, the method comprises:
preparing a base sheet;
forming a UV-curable resin layer on a lower surface of the base sheet, wherein the UV-curable resin layer has hairlines on a surface thereof, the hairlines have a depth ranging from 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm, and the hairlines comprise:
hairlines extending in a length direction of the film;
hairlines extending in a width direction of the film, wherein the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film satisfy Equation 1:
a>b <Equation 1>
a: an angle defined between a length direction (l) of the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film and a length direction of the film, and
b: an angle defined between the length direction (l) of the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film and a width direction of the film;
forming a metal layer on a lower surface of the UV-curable resin layer;
forming a primer layer on a lower surface of the metal layer;
forming an adhesive layer on a lower surface of the primer layer; and
forming a protective layer on an upper surface of the base sheet,
wherein forming the UV-curable resin layer comprises:
preparing a first roll with the base sheet placed on a surface thereof;
placing the first roll adjacent to a second roll having a convex-concave pattern on a surface thereof to form a gap between the first roll and the second roll, and placing a curing lamp in proximity to the first roll and the second roll; and
supplying a UV-curable resin to the gap between the first roll and the second roll and rotating at least one of the first roll or the second roll to form the UV-curable resin layer having the hairlines on the surface thereof.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base sheet has a thickness of 20 μm to 50 μm.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base sheet comprises polyester resins, acrylic resins, urethane reins, or olefin resins.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UV-curable resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 30 μm.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UV-curable resin layer is formed of a C 1 to C 12 alkyl group-containing acrylate or a urethane acrylate.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hairlines of the UV-curable resin layer is located on a side opposite to the base sheet.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protective layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 30 μm.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base sheet is placed on all or part of a surface of the first roll.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curing lamp is placed in a direction opposite a feeding direction of the UV-curable resin with respect to the first or second roll.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the convex-concave pattern of the second roll is transferred to the UV-curable resin to form the hairlines, and the UV-curable resin layer is formed on the lower surface of the base sheet at the same time.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein protrusions of the convex-concave pattern of the second roll have a height of 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein protrusions formed on the surface of the second roll have a smaller area than depressions formed thereon.
