Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of softwood printing method, and particularly relates to a process method for printing white color and color on softwood. The softwood substrate is soaked in a preservative treatment solution, so that the preservative components are dispersed in the voids of the softwood substrate, so that the prepared preservative softwood after treatment has relatively stable preservative performance and is not easily corroded by acid and alkali. In addition, the soaking in the preservative treatment solution can fill the pore size on the surface of the softwood substrate, so as to prevent the phenomenon of pigment penetration after subsequent color printing. The white ink and color ink are printed on the softwood after the preservative treatment in a spraying manner, so as to improve the adhesion performance of the pigment and prevent the pigment from falling off. Finally, a transparent protective solution is prepared by using modified silicon dioxide and water-based fluorocarbon emulsion resin as raw materials, so as to play a role of color fixing and wear resistance, and prevent the sprayed pigment from falling off from the softwood.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cork printing methods, and in particular to a process for printing white and colored images on cork. Background Art

[0002] Cork, also known as cork, is a parenchyma tissue that develops from the cork cambium of the trunks and branches of Quercus variabilis and Castanopsis variabilis trees. Cork products are increasingly used in industries ranging from furniture to construction to aerospace, and from indoor to outdoor applications. The demand for their performance is also increasing. Currently, many cork-based crafts are available on the market. During the production process, different colors of pigments are applied to the cork surface. However, the surface painting of cork crafts is mostly handmade, which is labor-intensive. If different colors could be applied to the surface of pre-cut cork using a printing-like method, it would save labor and time.

[0003] Because cork is soft and susceptible to corrosion and wear, it needs to be treated with an anti-corrosion treatment before painting, and then different types of pigments need to be spray-printed on the cork surface. The existing process of treating cork with an anti-corrosion treatment before spray-printing is not mature enough. Therefore, how to design a process for printing white and colored on cork so that the printed pigments are not easy to fall off has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Technical problems solved

[0030] 1. The present invention prepares nano-modified components using basic copper carbonate and basic zinc carbonate as raw materials through a wet ball grinding method, and then mixes the nano-modified components with a silicon-containing acrylate emulsion for modification, thereby obtaining an anti-corrosion treatment solution with stable anti-corrosion performance. Immersing a cork substrate in the anti-corrosion treatment solution can disperse the anti-corrosion components in the gaps of the cork substrate, so that the anti-corrosion cork obtained after treatment has relatively stable anti-corrosion performance and will not be easily corroded by acids and alkalis. Moreover, after being immersed in the anti-corrosion treatment solution, the pores on the surface of the cork substrate can be filled, thereby preventing the phenomenon of pigment bleeding after subsequent printing and coloring.

[0031] 2. The present invention first uses propylene glycol methyl ether propionate as a solvent to mix vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate copolymer to prepare a homemade ink solvent, and then adds pigments of different colors and corresponding dispersants to prepare white ink and color ink. The white ink and color ink are then printed on cork after anti-corrosion treatment by inkjet printing, which can improve the adhesion performance of the pigment and prevent it from falling off easily. Finally, a transparent protective solution made of modified silica and water-based fluorocarbon emulsion resin as raw materials is applied to the surface of the pigment, which can play a role in color fixation and wear resistance, and prevent the printed pigment from falling off the cork.
