Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process of preparing a multi-layer coated wood or wood-based material substrate.
  • the invention also relates to a multi-layer coated substrate obtainable by the process.
  • US 8506742 B2 describes a method for laminating a plastic film with a wood- base substrate, in particular for producing a high-gloss surface on a wood-base substrate, in which a plastic film is laminated by means of a laminating agent, preferably an adhesive, with a wood-base substrate and permanently bonded to the wood-base substrate, the plastic film being formed so as to be transparent on its top, and the products obtainable in this manner and their use, in particular in the area of the wood and furniture industry, for example for the production of pieces of furniture and fitments of all kinds.
  • a laminating agent preferably an adhesive
  • WO 2009/103847 describes a self-adhesive material for a wood board.
  • the self-adhesive material is formed of polyolefin film containing reactive groups with -OH groups of the wood for forming self-adhesive properties.
  • the invention relates to a wood board in which the self-adhesive material is used as a coating and/or as a glue-line material.
  • WO 2008/002360 describes the preparation of a laminated composite structure having a base layer comprising a base substrate; at least one polymeric layer laminated onto a surface of the base substrate.
  • the polymeric layer is preferably bonded to the base substrate using a thermosetting adhesive interposed between the substrate surface and the polymeric layer.
  • a drawback of the methods described in these documents is that the gloss grade, colour and structure of the surface of the substrate is determined by the type of plastic film used, which limits the types of surface appearances which can be realized. Further, there is an interest in the wood industry, in particular in the furniture industry, to use low-density wood-base substrates to reduce the costs of the final products. A problem with low density wood-based substrates is that coatings cannot be directly applied onto such substrates in a satisfactory manner, generally leading to unsatisfactory finishes.
  • the application of plastic films on such profiled substrates can lead to equally unsatisfactory finishes.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a process which is very flexible in the type of surface to be achieved, and which is in particular suitable for creating a high quality finish on low density wood-based substrates and/or 3D-shaped substrates (e.g. profiled or milled substrates).
  • the invention now provides a process of preparing a multi-layer coated substrate comprising the steps, in any suitable order, of
  • a substrate which is a wooden substrate, or which is a wood-based material.
  • suitable substrates include fiberboard of low, medium, or high density, particle board, oriented strand board, plywood, or natural woods such as pine or poplar.
  • the process is of particular use for wood based substrates which are difficult to coat with liquid primer compositions, or which have a pronounced tendency to absorb liquid primer compositions.
  • the preferred wood based substrates are fiberboard and particle board.
  • the process according to the invention allows for the easy formation of high quality primers and top coats on inexpensive wood-based substrates, in particular on fiber board or particle board having a low density, such as a density in the range of 520 to 750 kg/m 3 , in particular 550 to 650 kg/m 3 .
  • Low density board is typically used for low end finishes and cheaper products. With the process of the invention it is possible to eliminate primer painting steps and also reduce the quantity of topcoat used and still achieve an excellent appearance.
  • the primer film serves as a leveling layer which covers surface imperfections in lower quality board and allows high quality finishes to be achieved on inexpensive wood-based substrates.
  • the process of the invention allows a furniture manufacturer to use lower density and inexpensive wood-based substrates for furniture making which gives them a cheaper and lower weight product that is better for transportation costs and easier to handle by consumers.
  • the process of the invention also comprises the step of providing a primer sheet comprising at least two layers, i.e. polymeric top layer and an adhesive bottom layer.
  • suitable polymers for the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet include polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin, such as polypropylene (e.g. cavitated biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)), polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, fluoropolymers (e.g. polyvinylidene fluoride), acrylics or other suitable resins. Also mixtures or hybrids of the afore-mentioned polymers can be used. Polyurethanes, fluoropolymers, polypropylenes, or polyesters, may be particularly preferred. It is preferred that the polymeric top layer has good moisture barrier properties and the ability to cover or level any surface irregularities of the wood-based substrate.
  • polymers which allow for satisfactory lamination even on 3-D shaped substrates (e.g. profiled or milled substrates).
  • monolayer or multilayer films comprising polypropylene, modified polyethylene terephthalate (e.g. with isophthalic acid (PEI) or modified with cyclohexanedimethanol, CHDM, (PET-G)), thermoplastic polyurethanes (e.g.
  • aromatic polyether or aromatic polyester urethanes based on aromatic polyether or aromatic polyester urethanes
  • acrylates such as polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
  • fluoropolymers such as polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride, fluorinated ethylene propylene, perfluoroalkoxy alkane, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene, or combination thereof.
  • polymeric primer top layer films include cavitated biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), such as those commercialized under the designation Torayfan®), thermoplastic polyurethane such as those commercialized under the designation Dureflex®, polymethylmethacrylate such as those commercialized under the designation Acrylite®, and polyvinylidene fluoride / acrylic alloys such as those commercialized under the designation Fluorex®.
  • BOPP biaxially oriented polypropylene
  • Dureflex® thermoplastic polyurethane
  • Dureflex® polymethylmethacrylate
  • Acrylite® polymethylmethacrylate
  • polyvinylidene fluoride / acrylic alloys such as those commercialized under the designation Fluorex®.
  • cavitated film such as cavitated BOPP
  • An advantage of using a cavitated film is its good results for 3D-shaped substrates and in particular its conformance to small radius curves upon 3D pressing (e.g. for profiled or milled substrates such as a profiled kitchen front).
  • the polymeric top layer may be a clear layer or an opaque layer containing pigments.
  • a white or gray pigmented polymeric top layer has been found very suitable for most top coats to be applied on the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet. If so desired, the pigmentation of the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet can be adapted to match the color of the top coat to be applied. In this case irregularities in the hiding power of the top coat will be less visible. Also minor damages or scratches occurring during use of a piece of furniture will be less visible if the color of the polymeric top layer matches the color of the top coat.
  • a polymeric top layer which has undergone an adhesion improving surface treatment.
  • adhesion improving surface treatments include corona treatment, plasma treatment, flame treatment, or chemical treatments.
  • one or both surface of the polymeric top layer may be subjected to the afore-mentioned adhesion improving surface treatment.
  • adhesion improving surface treatment is of particular importance in cases wherein the polymer used for the polymeric top layer has a low surface energy or a low surface polarity, or otherwise a surface with insufficient adhesion properties.
  • Polymeric top layers based on polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate or fluoropolymers have preferably undergone an adhesion improving surface treatment.
  • the thickness of the polymeric top layer is suitably in the range of 20 to 200 ⁇ , preferably in the range of 25 to 75 ⁇ .
  • the primer sheet further comprises an adhesive bottom layer.
  • the adhesive bottom layer suitably comprises a hot melt or pressure sensitive adhesive composition.
  • Non-reactive adhesives may be preferred.
  • a non-reactive adhesive means and adhesive which does not contain groups that chemically react with -OH groups of the wood substrate.
  • Advantages of non-reactive adhesives include low to no toxicity, excellent gap filling, high initial tack or green strength, and reprocess-ability. In particular, it is advantageous in a production environment to be able to re-process wood substrates, e.g., when they show certain coating defects.
  • the adhesive composition may be a reactive, or a thermoplastic hot melt adhesive composition, a non-reactive hot melt adhesive composition may be preferred.
  • the adhesive composition is suitably selected to allow sufficient melt-flow of the adhesive at the lamination temperature to allow the adhesive to flow into any surface irregularities of the substrate surface.
  • Non-reactive hot melt adhesive materials that are useful may contain as a major constituent an adhesive polymer such as an acrylic-type polymer; block copolymer; natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, or synthetic rubber (e.g. styrene- butadiene rubber); tackified natural or synthetic rubber; a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate; an ethylene-vinyl-acrylic terpolymer; polyisobutylene; poly (vinyl ether); aromatic polyether urethane; polyolefin (e.g. poly-alpha-olefins); and crystallizable polyesters (e.g. crystallizable thermoplastic copolyesters).
  • Other materials may be included in the adhesive such as tackifying resins, plasticizers, antioxidants, fillers, waxes, etc.
  • Pressure sensitive adhesive materials that are useful may be an acrylate or methacrylate based composition typified by low glass transition temperature acrylic esters.
  • useful acrylic esters include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutylacrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, amyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, undecyl acrylate, or lauryl acrylate. Glass transition temperatures of such acrylic esters may generally be in the range of 0 to about -80 °C.
  • Particularly preferred adhesive materials for flat line or 3D press lamination include acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives such as those commercialized under the designation Aroset®, aromatic polyether urethanes such as those commercialized under the designation Macroplast®, crystallizable thermoplastic copolyesters such as those commercialized under the designation Dynacoll® S, and poly-alpha-olefins (APAO) such as those commercialized under the designation Vestoplast®.
  • acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives such as those commercialized under the designation Aroset®
  • aromatic polyether urethanes such as those commercialized under the designation Macroplast®
  • crystallizable thermoplastic copolyesters such as those commercialized under the designation Dynacoll® S
  • APAO poly-alpha-olefins
  • the adhesive composition can be applied to the polymeric top layer as an organic solvent-based composition, a water-based composition, or as a composition without volatile diluents.
  • the adhesive layer is a non-pigmented clear layer. If so desired, the adhesive comprises pigments or filler particles to adapt color and opacity properties.
  • a suitable manufacturing process for the primer sheet is to solvent cast the adhesive onto one surface of a pre-formed polymeric sheet in a web process or roll to roll process and force dry the applied adhesive layer in a multistage continuous oven.
  • Suitable application methods include slot die, roll coating, reverse roll coating, gravure coating, or other roll casting methods well known to the art.
  • a preferred application method is slot die or roll coating.
  • the dry thickness of the adhesive layer is suitably in the range of 5 to 50 ⁇ , preferably in the range of 12 to 40 ⁇ .
  • the layer thickness of the polymeric top layer and the adhesive bottom layer may be adapted so as to achieve the required quality of lamination and adhesive flow during the lamination process. It is preferred to select a hot-melt adhesive which is sufficiently non-tacky at ambient temperature to allow winding up the primer sheet in a roll without blocking for storage and transportation of the primer sheet. Adhesives which are sufficiently non-tacky can be selected by testing. Generally, suitable adhesives are those having a softening point or the beginning of the melt range above a temperature of 60°C, preferably above 80°C. When adhesives are used which can crystallize or partly crystallize, it is generally beneficial to allow the adhesive to crystallize or partly crystallize after application in order to minimize tackiness.
  • the process further comprises the step of laminating the adhesive bottom layer of the primer sheet to at least a part of the surface of the substrate of wood or wood-based material.
  • a suitable lamination process of the primer sheet to wood substrate involves heat laminating the sheet to the substrate.
  • the substrate may be an essentially flat or board like substrate.
  • the substrate may be a 3D-shaped substrate such as a substrate having three dimensional surface contours (e.g. a profiled or milled substrate) to which the primer sheet is laminated such that the primer sheet adopts the surface contour of the substrate. If so desired, the primer sheet may be wrapped around the edges of the substrate where needed.
  • Lamination temperature and pressure required depend on line speed and wood substrate type.
  • the lamination can be done on a flat surface profile or a 3D surface profile such as a milled or profiled surface profile of the wood substrate, e.g., by 3D-pressing.
  • the primer sheet is laminated to a flat and formable wood based substrate, and subsequently the wood based substrates and the layers already applied to it are together subjected to a shaping process so as to create a three-dimensional shape.
  • the shaping process can be carried out before or after application of the top coat on the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet.
  • the process further comprises the step of applying a top coat on the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet.
  • the top coat is applied as a liquid coating composition to the polymeric top layer of the primer sheet.

  • a laminated wood sample was prepared according to the process set forth in Example 5 except an additional transparent, low gloss 38 ⁇ top coat sheet containing a soft touch tactile sensation was thermally laminated on top of the clear PVDF/acrylic top coat sheet with the wood grain pattern. This multilayer top coat sheet was then thermally laminated to the polyester primer sheet. The resulting laminated MDF substrate has the appearance and tactile sensation of soft, stained real wood.
  • Example 7
  • a laminated wood sample was prepared according to the process set forth in Example 3. After application of the topcoat, the laminated wood sample was reprocessed by heating the sample with IR heat to 120 °C in order to sufficiently soften the hot melt adhesive allowing the primer sheet with topcoat to be removed from the wood substrate. The wood substrate was lightly sanded and brushed and then prepared again with primer sheet and topcoat as above. It is advantageous in a production environment if wood substrates can be reprocessed when they show certain coating defects. With heat reactive hot melt adhesives it is difficult to remove the laminated primer sheet without significant destruction of the surface of the wood substrate making reprocessing impossible.
