Description:
TITLE OF THE INVENTION

ADHESIVE WALL FINISH USING COMPRESSED PLASTIC PANEL AND METHOD FOR

MANUFACTURING THE SAME

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive wall finish using compressed plastic panel and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive wall finish using compressed plastic panel which can be easily used as a wall finish by a consumer, is hard and therefore not easily damaged by sharp objects, is highly moisture resistant while being flexible and less prone to cracking to maintain machinability while having high strength, is environmentally friendly due to use of environmentally friendly plasticizer, is able to achieve various wall finish colors and patterns, is convenient to install by being attachable over protrusions on a wall surface and being detachable and re-attachable multiple times even if improperly attached by a consumer, and which can be produced with various thickness and width specifications for greatly improved machinability and product diversity, and a method for manufacturing the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Normally, materials that consumers can use to finish a wall surface and create an interior decoration effect are limited to paints and wallpapers. Other finish materials are either too expensive or too difficult to install, making it difficult for consumers to apply them to a wall surface.

[0003] Further, these paints and wallpapers are limited in colors or pattern, and are also limited in giving a variety of effects or a sense of depth. [0004] To solve such problems, Korean Patent No. 10-0643188 proposed“A method for producing a synthetic resin sheet wherein deco film is coated onto a thin, synthetic resin plate using an apparatus for manufacturing a synthetic resin sheet, the apparatus comprising: an extruder equipped with a plurality of heaters on its outer surface to extrude molten synthetic resin from an end opposite a first end through which it is fed synthetic resin pellets; a T-die that is connected to the opposite end of the extruder and has horizontal slits formed along a longitudinal direction, into which molten synthetic resin from the extruder is fed and where the synthetic resin is continuously extruded through the slits; a first roller and a second roller that roll the molten synthetic resin extruded continuously from the T-die into sheets with a desired thickness; a third roller that is provided above the second roller which is the higher positioned of the first roller and the second roller and which rotates by meshing with the second roller, where synthetic resin having passed between the first roller and second roller is passed between the third roller and the second roller under pressure, and; a deco film feed unit that continually feeds deco film, and characterized in that the deco film that is continually fed from the deco film feed unit passes through the first roller and the second roller together with the synthetic resin that is continually extruded from the T-die and becomes bonded to the upper face of the synthetic resin, and; that the first roller is maintained at 50 to 60°C, the second roller is maintained at 40 to 50°C, and the third roller is maintained at 80 to 100°C, where the method is characterized in that it comprises: a step of melting synthetic resin where synthetic resin in pellet form is inserted into an extruder equipped with a plurality of heaters on its outer surface; a step of extruding molten synthetic resin by continually extruding the molten synthetic resin through a T-die that is connected to the extruder and which is equipped with long horizontal slits; a step of rolling and bonding wherein the molten synthetic resin being continually extruded from the T-die and the continually fed deco film are passed together between the first roller maintained at 50 to 60°C and the second roller maintained at 40 to 50°C to roll the molten synthetic resin into a sheet of the desired thickness while simultaneously causing the deco film to bond to the synthetic resin, and; a smoothing step wherein the synthetic resin to which the deco film has been bonded and which has passed through the rolling and bonding step is passed through a third roller that rotates by meshing with the second roller and is maintained at 80 to 100°C to increase the smoothness of the synthetic resin to which the deco film has been bonded.”

[0005] However, this art relates to a thin, hard synthetic resin seat onto which deco film has been bonded, which requires a separate process of attaching the same to another wall finish and cutting. Therefore, it cannot be used firsthand by a consumer as a wall finish.

[0006] Further, Korean Patent No. 10-1561674 proposes“A method for manufacturing interior finishing materials, the method comprising: (A) a step of preparing raw materials including cross-linked foam fabric, a shape- retaining film with hard properties, and a performance-enhancing film assembly to which metal has been vacuum deposited; (B) a step of laminating and bonding the cross-linked foam fabric and the shape-retaining film by melting the shape-retaining film onto the upper surface of the cross-linked foam fabric; (C) a step of compression molding a semi-finished product that is the result of step (B); (D) a step of laminating and bonding the semi-finished product that has been compression molded in step (C) with the performance- enhancing film assembly, and; (E) a step of cutting the result of step (D) to appropriate specifications to produce a wallpaper panel or cushion tile, characterized in that: in step (C), the semi-finished product is passed through a heating chamber having infra-red heaters for pre-heating for 45±5 seconds with an upper heater at a temperature of 100±10°C and a bottom heater at a temperature of 120±10°C and then pressed for 15±5 seconds under 80±5kgf/cm2 pressure conditions using a forming roller to form embossed or engraved 3-dimensional patterns or shapes on the surface of the semi- finished product; that the cross-linked foam fabric is chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam; the shape-retaining film comprises one of PVC film, LDPE film, LLDPE film, CPE film, nylon film, and polyester film, with a pattern printed on the upper face thereof, and; that the performance-enhancing film assembly comprises a PET film, a vacuum-deposited metal layer comprising silver or aluminum which is formed on the upper face of the PET film through dry vacuum deposition, an adhesive layer that is formed on the bottom face of the PET film by applying adhesive or by attaching adhesive tape, and a release paper that covers the adhesive layer.” However, this relates to a wall paper panel or cushion type interior finish material common referred to as a “foam block”. Whereas these can be installed firsthand by general consumers as a wall finish, they are manufactured using molds for press-forming, severely limiting the size, shape and patterning of the product. Further, being a foam, they are vulnerable to heat and are easily damaged by sharp objects.

[0007] Further, when manufacturing these synthetic resin sheets, phthalate plasticizers, which improve the flexibility and elasticity of synthetic resin but have been identified as endocrine disruptors that cause liver and kidney disorder as well as genital deformity, whose use is restricted in wall finishes and in children’s toys in Korea, and whose use is prohibited in advanced economies, are used, leading to another problem of environmental hormones.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0038] In the following, the present invention is explained in further detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note that, in explaining the present invention, where it is judged that detailed explanation of known relevant functions or components may unnecessary obscure the subject matter of the present invention, such detailed explanation was omitted. Further, the terms used in the following are terms defined in light of their function in the present invention, and may vary depending on users’ or operators’ intentions or practices. Therefore, the terms should be defined based on the entirety of the specification.

[0039] The method for manufacturing the adhesive wall finish using compressed plastic panel of the present invention comprises: a step of using an environmentally friendly plasticizer that does not contain lead and does not contain or use phthalate plasticizer as an ingredient to produce a compressed plastic panel (10) which is about 1 to 3 mm in thickness and is a rigid vinyl chloride foam panel (100); a step of obtaining environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) laminated with various patterns (21 ); a step of laminating the environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) on one side of the compressed plastic panel (10) using an adhesive member (120); a step of obtaining a PE foam sheet (30) having a thickness of about 1 to 3 mm (130); a step of forming an adhesive face (31 ) of the PE foam sheet wherein an adhesive member (31 a) is applied on one side of the PE foam sheet (30) and the adhesive face (31 ) is finished by attaching release paper (31 b) thereto (140); a step of forming an adhesive face (32) of the PE foam sheet wherein an adhesive member (32a) is applied to the other side of the PE foam sheet (30) and the adhesive face (32) is finished by attaching release paper (32b) thereto (150); a step of laminating the other face of the compressed plastic panel (10) on one side of which the deco sheet (20) is laminated with one side of the PE foam sheet (30) through the adhesive face (31 ) form which the release paper (31 b) has been removed (160); a step of cutting the compressed plastic panel (10) laminated on one side with deco sheet (20) and laminated with PE foam sheet (30) on the other to certain size specifications (170), and; a chamfering step (180) wherein corners are sanded down to an incline or pressed so that arranging the adhesive wall finishes (1 ) side by side causes a V-shaped groove to give a sense of depth.

[0040] In the above, rigid vinyl chloride refers to vinyl chloride resin to which no plasticizer has been added or only a small amount thereof has been added. It refers to soft or plasticized vinyl chloride resin. Rigid vinyl chloride has good mechanical properties except impact resistance, and also has good chemical resistance, and is therefore used in pipes, the linings of chemical tanks or chemical engineering tanks, packings for refrigerator doors, signboards, and ice cream cups, etc.

[0041] In the step of producing a compressed plastic panel (10) that is a rigid vinyl chloride foam panel (100), ingredients including thermoplastic resin, which include vinyl chloride resin, foaming agent, foaming aid, heat stabilizer, processing aid, slip agent, impact modifier, plasticizer, dye, and filler are fed into a cylinder of an extruder, then melted from the heat of 150 to 195°C from a heated barrel and pressure from a screw; are extruded in plate form out of the extruder by passing through any one of a flat manifold die, T- die or coat hanger die, and; the extruded plates pass through a cooling water bath or two or more cooling rollers, to continually produce compressed plastic panels (10) that are rigid vinyl chloride foam panel having: evenly distributed closed cells; a smooth surface; a foaming rate of about 30 to 60%; a specific gravity of about 0.7 to 0.8 (DIN53479 testing method), tensile strength of about 150 to 170 kg/cm (DIN53455), stretch of about 30 to 40% (DIN53452), flexural modulus of about 8000 to 9000 kg/cm 2 (DIN53452), impact strength (Charpy) of about 1 1 to 19 kgf/cm 2 (DIN53453), hardness (Shore Hardness) of about 20 to 30 N/mm 2 (DIN53456), Vicat softening temperature of about 80°C (DIN53460), heat distortion temperature (HDT) of about 60°C (DIN53467), heat conduction of about 0.081 W/mK at 10 mm thickness and about 0.045 to 0.062 W/mK at 20 to 30 mm thickness (DIN52616), absorbance of about <1 % (DIN53495), flame resistance that meets the UL94V-0 standard, and sound absorption of about 31 dB at 1 1 mm and about 34 dB at 19 mm (DIN5210).

[0042] Here, the vinyl chloride resin may be a vinyl chloride homopolymer; the foaming agent may be azodicarbonamide; the foaming aid may be para toluene zinc sulfate; the heat stabilizer may be zinc stearate; the slip agent may be high molecular weight polyethylene wax added for synergistic effects with dibasic red stearate; the processing aid may be methyl methacrylate; the impact modifier may be acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene copolymer; the polymer may be not a phthalate plasticizer but either epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) which has been approved by the FDA for use in food or the environmentally friendly plasticizer DOTP (dioctylterephthalate); the dye may be the rutile type white titanium dioxide dye, and; the filler may be calcium carbonate.

[0043] Further, in the step of producing a compressed plastic panel (10) that is a rigid vinyl chloride foam panel (100), flame retardant agent may be added to produce flame retardant (Flame retardant Class 3) products which may be used as a flame retardant wall finish.

[0044] Epoxidized linseed oil (W-109, Oxirane oxygen: 4.8%) is an epoxy plasticizer. Epoxy plasticizers having an epoxy group generated by reacting the double bond of linseed oil or ester compounds thereof with peracetic acid or performic acid have superior heat and cold resistance, while functioning as a stabilizer. They are highly compatible with PVC, and are being used widely in applications that require non-toxicity as an indirect food additive.

[0045] Products known as environmentally friendly plasticizers are products that do not contain or use as an ingredient phthalate, which is a suspected environmental hormone. Representative environmentally friendly plasticizers available domestically include NEO-T, NEO-T3, NEO-S, PYROCIZER, OLICIZER-10N, OLICIZER-20N, and OLI-3 from Aekyung Petrochemical, GL-100, GL-300, EBN and BET from LG Chemicals, EASTMAN KODA’s DOTP, Songwon Industrial Group’s P series, as well as WRAPCIZER (Aekyung Petrochemical), CITROCIZER-A(ATBC) (Aekyung Petrochemical), CITROCIZER-W (Aekyung Petrochemical), NEO-A (Aekyung Petrochemical), NEO-E(Aekyung Petrochemical), LGflex EBN-W(N) (LG Chemicals), AMG (Aekyung Petrochemical, llshin Wells, Riken (Japan)), among others.

[0046] Among these, the greatest advantage of DOTP (dioctyl terephthalate), whose use as an environmentally friendly plasticizer is increasing, is its environmental friendliness. In various toxicity testing data announced until now, DOTP has been found to have no toxic effect on the human body, including carcinogenicity. Also, its boiling point, freezing point and density, etc. are similar to those of DOP (dioctyl phthalate; synonymous with polychloride vinyl plasticizer not only in Japan and the US, but globally; causes substances suspected to be environmental hormones), and therefore it exhibits advantages in volatility and electrical insulation.

[0047] The compressed plastic panels (10) of about 1 to 3 mm in thickness produced through the step (100) of producing a compressed plastic panel (10) have a specific gravity of about 0.7 to 0.8 (DIN53479 testing method), about 150 to 170 kg/cm (DIN53455) tensile strength, about 30 to 40% (DIN53452) stretch, flexural modulus of about 8000 to 9000 kg/cm 2 (DIN53452), impact strength (Charpy) of about 1 1 to 19 kgf/cm 2 (DIN53453) and hardness (Shore Hardness) of about 20 to 30 N/mm 2 (DIN53456). Compared to conventional PVC tile products whose flexibility was high but had low hardness and were prone to thermal expansion and contraction, they are highly moisture resistance and suitably flexible to allow for processability while maintaining hardness.

[0048] The present invention is manufactured through: a step of producing a compressed plastic panel (100); a step of obtaining environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) laminated with various patterns (21 ), and; a step of laminating the environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) on one side of the compressed plastic panel (10) using an adhesive member (120).

[0049] This is followed by a step of obtaining a PE foam sheet (30) having a thickness of about 1 to 3mm(130); a step of forming an adhesive face (31 ) of the PE foam sheet wherein an adhesive member (31 a) is applied on one side of the PE foam sheet(30) and the adhesive face (31 ) is finished by attaching release paper (31 b) thereto (140), and; a step of forming an adhesive face (32) of the PE foam sheet wherein an adhesive member (32a) is applied to the other side of the PE foam sheet (30) and the adhesive face (32) is finished by attaching release paper (32b) thereto (150).

[0050] Next are a step of laminating the other face of the compressed plastic panel (10) on one side of which the deco sheet (20) is laminated with one side of the PE foam sheet (30) through the adhesive face (31 ) form which the release paper (31 b) has been removed (160); a step of cutting the compressed plastic panel (10) laminated on one side with deco sheet (20) and laminated with PE foam sheet (30) on the other to certain size specifications (170), and; a chamfering step (180) (270) wherein corners are sanded down to an incline or pressed so that arranging the adhesive wall finishes (1 ) side by side causes a V-shaped groove to give a sense of depth. This yields adhesive wall finishes of various sizes having deco sheet (20) laminated with patterning (21 ) on one side. [0051] By forming, as described in the above, a deco sheet (20) laminated with patterning (21 ) on one side of a compressed plastic panel (10), an adhesive wall finish (1 ) where bending of the compressed plastic panel (10) in one direction can be prevented beforehand is obtained.

[0052] The adhesive wall finish (1 ) may be installed by a user by removing the release paper (32a) of the PE foam sheet (30) beneath the compressed plastic panel (10) to expose the adhesive face (32), then attaching the wall finishes on the desired indoor wall surface of a building, firmly securing the adhesive wall finishes (1 ).

[0053] Here, the adhesive face (32) of the adhesive wall finish (1 ) allows easy detaching and re-attaching if improperly attached by the consumer.

[0054] Further, by virtue of the PE foam sheet (30), the adhesive wall finish can be easily attached and fixed to wall surfaces with bumps.

[0055] Another method for manufacturing the adhesive wall finish using compressed plastic panel of the present invention comprises: a step of producing a compressed plastic panel (10) which is about 1 to 3mm in thickness and is a rigid vinyl chloride foam panel (200); a step of obtaining environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) laminated with various patterns (21 ) (210); a step of laminating the environmentally friendly deco sheet (20) on one side of the compressed plastic panel (10) using an adhesive member (220); a step of obtaining a PE foam sheet (30) having a thickness of about 1 to 3mm (230); a step of applying an adhesive member (31 a) to the opposite side of the compressed plastic panel (10) on one side of which deco sheet (20) is laminated, then laminating one side of the PE foam sheet (30) thereonto (240); a step of forming an adhesive face (32) by applying an adhesive member (32a) to the other face of the PE foam sheet (30) laminated onto the other face of the compressed plastic panel (10) and finishing the adhesive face (32) by attaching release paper (32b) (250); a step of cutting the compressed plastic panel (10) laminated on one side with deco sheet (20) and laminated with PE foam sheet (30) on the other to certain size specifications (260), and; a chamfering step (180) (270) wherein corners are sanded down to an incline or pressed so that arranging the adhesive wall finishes (1 ) side by side causes a V-shaped groove to give a sense of depth.

[0056] The adhesive wall finish (1 ) of the present invention described above, by using environmentally friendly plasticizers that do not contain phthalates suspected to be environmental hormones or do not use them as ingredients, being an environmentally friendly product, does not cause any problems to the human body with respect to environmental hormones even when used as a finish for building wall surfaces. Further, it has strong moisture resistance, flexibility and sound insulation, while maintaining processability and high strength to allow for easy firsthand cutting and processing by consumers and make possible great savings in the overall cost of production.

[0057] The physical properties of the adhesive wall finish (1 ) of the present invention and conventional PVC tile are compared in Table 1 below:

[0058] That is, in the adhesive wall finish (1 ) of the present invention, use of a rigid vinyl chloride foam board ensures strength, flexibility and processability of the product. Whereas the material is rigid, being a foam, it can be easy cut as needed by a consumer using a box cutter or scissors. Also, while flexible, the material is not soft, and is able to maintain a flat surface.

[0059] Further, the adhesive wall finish (1 ) of the present invention is a sticker type product which can be installed quickly and conveniently firsthand by a consumer at a low cost. By using PE foam on the rear adhesive face, the wall finish adheres well even to uneven wall surfaces. Also, as the finished product is in the shape of a panel or tile, it is possible to give a 3D effect.

[0060] Additionally, the adhesive wall finish (1 ) of the present invention, being made of synthetic resin material, has high moisture resistance, and, being a foam product, has a certain noise proofing effect. By laminating the surface with synthetic resin, it is possible to realize various colors and patterns.
