Simulated wood product manufacturing method and simulated wood product

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a simulated wood product which has not only a texture similar to wood, but also exhibits a pattern similar to the grain of natural wood depending on molding conditions, and such a simulated wood product itself. Specifically, pulverized dust 102 obtained by pulverizing a cellulose material as raw materials is subjected to a trituration process to produce powdery particles 111, 121 having an increased bulk specific gravity, surface particles 112, 122 smaller in size and harder than the powdery particles are fixed to outer circumferential surfaces of the powdery particles to produce fixed particles 110, 120, a resin and a pigment are mixed with the fixed particles, and a resultant mixture is melted to be later or simultaneously molded into the desired shape by extrusion or injection molding.
