Abstract
The present invention relates to a film in which a protective layer (100), a base material sheet (200), a UV-curable resin layer (300) having a concave-convex surface, a metallic layer (400), a primer layer (500), and an adhesion layer (600) are laminated in sequential order. Also, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing said film.
Claims12
A method for manufacturing an interior film for providing a metallic appearance, the method comprises:
- preparing a base sheet;
- forming a UV-curable resin layer on a lower surface of the base sheet, wherein the UV-curable resin layer has hairlines on a surface thereof, the hairlines have a depth ranging from 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm, and the hairlines comprise:
- hairlines extending in a length direction of the film;
- hairlines extending in a width direction of the film, wherein the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film satisfy Equation 1:
- a>b <Equation 1>
- a:
- an angle defined between a length direction (l) of the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film and a length direction of the film, and
- b:
- an angle defined between the length direction (l) of the hairlines extending in the width direction of the film and a width direction of the film;
- forming a metal layer on a lower surface of the UV-curable resin layer;
- forming a primer layer on a lower surface of the metal layer;
- forming an adhesive layer on a lower surface of the primer layer;
- and
- forming a protective layer on an upper surface of the base sheet,
- wherein forming the UV-curable resin layer comprises:
- preparing a first roll with the base sheet placed on a surface thereof;
- placing the first roll adjacent to a second roll having a convex-concave pattern on a surface thereof to form a gap between the first roll and the second roll, and placing a curing lamp in proximity to the first roll and the second roll;
- and
- supplying a UV-curable resin to the gap between the first roll and the second roll and rotating at least one of the first roll or the second roll to form the UV-curable resin layer having the hairlines on the surface thereof.
