Abstract
Highly flexible finished wood laminate, formed by several substrates that include a transparent plastic film finish, a layer of pre-varnished sanded wood, a plastic film with corona treatment on both faces and a flexible substrate. It is easy to affix using glue on straight and shaped surfaces and even adapts to acute corners without cracking; manufacturing process for the laminate.
Claims11
Highly flexible finished wood laminate consisting of three materials (i), (ii), and (iii), which is easy to affix on straight and shaped surfaces and adapts to acute corners without cracking, with the materials set out in an order consisting of:
- (i) wood veneer comprising a sanded and varnished face and a transparent plastic film finish applied to the sanded and varnished face to form a wood veneer having a single finished face, said veneer having a grain and being flexible in the direction of the grain;
- (ii) plastic film with corona treatment on both faces of the plastic film;
- and
- (iii) flexible substrate consisting of cellulose paper, synthetic paper, or fabric, wherein the plastic film affixes the veneer to the flexible substrate with the varnished face of the veneer being opposite the plastic film.
A manufacturing process for highly flexible finished wood laminate, said process comprising:
- affixing a wood veneer having a grain and being flexible in the direction of the grain onto a flexible substrate using only a polyethylene film with corona treatment on both faces between the wood veneer and the flexible substrate by applying pressure and heat, wherein the flexible substrate consists of cellulose paper, synthetic paper, or fabric;
- winding the veneer affixed onto the flexible substrate into a roll;
- sanding a face of the wood veneer opposite the polyethylene film;
- and
- varnishing the face of the wood veneer.
