Definitions
- This invention relates to a surface finish manufacturing system and process and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a contrast surface finish manufacturing system and process for producing boards with a wood texture finish.
- Such articles include cladding boards, floorboards, deck boards and the like. Whilst a natural, wood-like finish is desired, it is not always easy to achieve.
- the characteristics of natural wood influences the appearance of planks or boards that are cut from logs. These characteristics include summer and winter growth rings which differ both in thickness and colour; sap wood and core or hardwood also have colour as well as texture differences; natural flaws or injuries and branching locations along a log, show up in planks cut from a log.
- planks from a log also influences the appearance of planks.
- figure 1 which shows flat sawing
- figure 2 which shows quarter sawing.
- rift sawing An alternative, which is quite similar to quarter sawing is rift sawing. These sawing methods will obviously influence the visual appearance and finish of planks.
- An example of a wooden plank is shown in figure 3.
- a log can also have colour, thickness and texture differences along the length of the log. All of these factors contribute and make it difficult to imitate a natural wood finish.
- Natural wood planks thus have different colours, textures and patterns.
- the transition from one colour, texture and/or pattern can be gradual or abrupt, in the same plank. It has been found that an abrupt change in colour, texture and/or pattern in a plank or an abrupt change in colour, texture and/or pattern together with gradual changes of these qualities, in other areas of the same plank, is the most difficult to emulate. Colour contrasts can also change gradually and/or abruptly in the same plank. This is also an important characteristic to imitate.
- a surface finish manufacturing system comprising a top layer and a bottom layer where part of the top layer is removed to expose part of the bottom layer.
- part of the top layer and/or part of the top layer and part of the bottom layer to be planed and/or brushed off and/or sanded off and/or burned away and/or embossed.

- a further step of the above process includes part of the top layer or part of the top layer and part of the bottom layer to be removed by planing and/or brushing and/or sanding and/or burning and/or embossing.
- a further step of the above process includes exposing a contrast in colour and/or a contrast in material when part of the top layer and/or part of the top layer and part of the bottom layer is removed.
- a further step of the above process includes the contrast defining an abrupt change from one colour to another or a gradual change from one colour to another or a combined colour when part of the bottom layer is visible through part of the top layer.
- a further step of the above process includes exposing a pattern when part of the top layer and/or part of the top layer and part of the bottom layer is removed.
- a surface finish manufacturing system comprising a foamed base formed of a resin and having a block structure, and a hard skin layer integrally connected with the foamed base and covering at least one side thereof, the hard skin layer including a first exposed face formed of a first colour resin parallel to one side of the foamed base, and a second exposed face formed of a second colour resin; the second exposed face being at a smaller distance from the surface of the foamed substrate covered than the first exposed face; the first exposed surface is composed of a plurality of exposed units in the same plane, the second exposed surface is composed of a plurality of sunken units, and the exposed units and the sunken units are arranged in a staggered mode; the hard surface layer further comprises a connecting unit between the adjacent exposed units and the sunken units, wherein the connecting unit comprises a connecting substrate which is formed by first colour resin and is integrally connected with the first exposed surface and a connecting surface material which is covered on the connecting substrate and is formed by second colour

- the hard surface layer (2000) is made of ASA non-foaming material.
- first exposed surface to have a thickness of not less than 0.1mm
- second exposed surface to have a thickness of not less than 0.05 mm.
- the foamed base of the floor to be fed from a main extruder, the first exposed surface formed by the first colour resin, the connecting substrate and the base layer are fed from one sub-extruder, and the second exposed surface formed by the second colour resin and the connecting surface material are fed from the other sub extruder.
- the floor precursor structure has a foamed substrate, a first skin layer and a second skin layer, the second skin layer being disposed between the first skin layer and the foamed substrate;
- a further step of the above process includes the temperature of the first skin layer to be controlled within 250 °C during surface heating.
- a further step of the above process includes heating by adopting a tunnel type drying oven during surface heating, controlling the temperature in the drying oven to be 150-250 °C and controlling the time to be 3-20 s.
- a further step of the above process includes the embossing roller to be a cold roller during the embossing treatment of the embossing roller.
- a further step of the above process includes polishing by using a sander.

- the post processing is realized based on two surface layers.
- the floor based on the two surface layers can be respectively processed by using different colours for the two surface layers, for example, the surface layers are embossed, and the surface layers are partially removed after embossing so that the surface of the floor has two layers, and the floor is expressed from the angles of solid (embossing depth), colour difference, light and shade and the like, thereby realizing the vivid effect of the texture.
- the invention described herein will be convenient to use to achieve different finishes on products such as cladding boards, floorboards, deck boards and the like.
- the invention specifically facilitates creating an enhanced wood-grain finish on such products resulting in a more natural appearance.
- the invention allows for more control over the colours of the board, including the pattern that the colours form.
- the control includes the ability to create an abrupt change from one colour to another, a gradual change from one colour to another or a combination of colours of different layers depending on how much the colour of a bottom layer is visible through a top layer i.e. how much of a top layer is removed so that the colour of the bottom layer influences the combined colour visible from above.
- the layers can completely envelope a board, in other words, cover all or part of the surfaces of a board and need not only cover an upper surface of a board.
- the core can be the bottom layer.
- the top layer will the be co extruded over the core.
- the invention herein described may be used to create any pattern or abstract design on a surface by way of a contrast in colours, for example, the pattern embossed in the layers may be a logo in. The top layer is then removed to display the logo.
- the layers may also be injection moulded.
