Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a natural cork film, which includes forming a thin cork layer by slicing a prepared natural cork material, forming a fiber layer by attaching a fiber sheet to one surface of the cork layer formed in the forming a thin cork layer, pre-treating a lamination of the cork layer and the fiber layer formed in the forming a fiber layer, for preventing discoloration of the cork layer, and forming a resin layer by attaching a resin sheet to the fiber layer passing through the pre-treating a lamination of the cork layer and the fiber layer. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the manufactured cork film from naturally discoloring due to light and to significantly reduce a phenomenon such as brittleness or wrinkling caused when the cork layer is decolorized alone.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing a natural cork film, comprising:
- forming a cork layer by slicing a prepared natural cork material;
- forming a fiber layer by attaching a fiber sheet to one surface of the cork layer;
- pre-treating a lamination of the cork layer and the fiber layer for preventing discoloration of the cork layer;
- and
- forming a resin layer by attaching a resin sheet to the fiber layer during the pre-treating a lamination of the cork layer and the fiber layer step;
- wherein the pre-treating a lamination of the cork layer and the fiber layer step comprises decolorizing the cork layer of the lamination with a decolorant,
- wherein the decolorizing is performed by impregnating the lamination with decolorant and agitating, and
- wherein the decolorant is a hydrogen peroxide dilute solution comprising 20 wt. % to 50 wt. % of hydrogen peroxide with respect to a total weight of the hydrogen peroxide dilute solution wherein the hydrogen peroxide solution further comprises ammonia, and wherein a weight ratio ammonia to hydrogen peroxide is 1:20 to 1:5.
