Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a transparent colored acrylic serving as a color standard, a method for producing the same, and a mirror using the transparent colored acrylic, and more particularly, to a transparent colored acrylic serving as a color standard that allows a color standard applied to colored acrylic, such as Pantone color, to also be applied to transparent colored acrylic, a method for producing the same, and a mirror using the transparent colored acrylic. BACKGROUND ART

[0002] In general, acrylic refers to acrylic acid or acrylic resin. The material is colorless and transparent, or can be produced in various colors using pigment paints, and has excellent processability, so it is an industrial material used in all fields required for upgrading product quality.

[0003] Acrylic, which is used as a processed material for various applications, is accurately referred to as an acrylic sheet when described as a solidified raw material. That is, acrylic is a general term for acrylic resin plates, and the official name is methacrylic resin plate. It is colorless and excellent in transparency, has abundant color types, is lightweight and robust, has excellent surface gloss, good moldability, and excellent processability.

[0004] Acrylic is broadly classified into cast acrylic and extruded acrylic.

[0005] Cast acrylic is produced by a cell casting (pouring into a mold) method in which liquid resin [Methyl Meth Acrylate (MMA)] as a raw material is poured into two glass sheets, and includes vertical casting in which a glass mold is vertically stood and cured, and horizontal casting in which the glass mold is laid horizontally and cured.

[0006] Vertical casting undergoes a curing process in high-temperature water, while horizontal acrylic is produced through special equipment such as a large drying furnace capable of high-temperature heat treatment.

[0007] Horizontal acrylic is dried while maintaining its horizontal orientation, resulting in minimal thickness variation in the finished product. Vertical acrylic, on the other hand, exhibits thickness variation. Furthermore, vertical acrylic, which incorporates some recycled materials, has slightly lower transparency and strength compared to horizontal acrylic, which is made from 100% pure raw materials. Therefore, horizontal acrylic is preferred for the production of high-quality processed products.

[0008] Extruded acrylic is produced by extruding acrylic resin between two rollers that form the thickness. Compared to cast acrylic, extruded acrylic has less thickness variation and superior smoothness of the base sheet. However, its surface strength is weaker than that of cast acrylic, so scratches and cracks may occur.

[0009] Thus, a technology for manufacturing acrylic sheet material is proposed in Korean Published Patent No. 2010-0125535.

[0010] However, unlike colored acrylics, Patent Document 1 has the problem that there is no standard for the color of transparent acrylic sheets, making it difficult to systematize the colors of transparent acrylic sheets. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0011] [Patent Document 1] Korean Published Patent No. 2010-0125535 (2010.12.01) [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0012] The present invention was devised in consideration of the above points, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a transparent acrylic that can serve as a color standard for transparent acrylic, a method for manufacturing the same, and a mirror using transparent acrylic, which can create a color standard for transparent acrylic by matching the color that appears when transparent acrylic is placed on a colorless sheet with the color of colored acrylic to which Pantone colors have been applied. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] A method for manufacturing transparent acrylic that serves as a color standard according to the present invention to achieve the above objective may be characterized by including: a first step of molding transparent acrylic of a specific color; a second step of positioning the transparent acrylic on a colorless sheet; a third step of matching the color that appears when the transparent acrylic is placed on the colorless sheet with the color of a standard color acrylic; and a fourth step of setting the color standard of the transparent acrylic based on the color of the color acrylic that has been matched with the transparent acrylic.

[0014] The third step can be characterized by using a white sheet as the achromatic sheet.

[0015] During the implementation of the third stage, the color of the colored acrylic can be characterized by being realized based on Pantone colors.

[0016] Furthermore, it can be equipped with transparent acrylic that serves as a color standard, manufactured using a method for producing transparent acrylic that serves as a color standard.

[0017] Furthermore, the method may be characterized in that a mirror layer is formed by vapor-depositing aluminum or chromium onto either the front or back surface of the transparent acrylic used as a color standard, which is manufactured using a method for manufacturing transparent acrylic used as a color standard.

[0018] Furthermore, the present invention comprises a first step of forming a transparent acrylic of a specific color by injecting acrylic raw material between upper and lower glass plates and then curing it; a second step of positioning the transparent acrylic on a grayscale sheet having a certain standard brightness; a third step of matching the color of the transparent acrylic that is visible through the grayscale sheet when the transparent acrylic is placed on the grayscale sheet with the color of a standard color acrylic to which Pantone colors are applied; and when the colors of the transparent acrylic and the color acrylic are matched, the transparent acrylic and the matched The method includes a fourth step of setting a color standard for the transparent acrylic based on the color of the colored acrylic, wherein the color of the transparent acrylic is not determined solely by the transparent acrylic itself, but rather, when the transparent acrylic and an achromatic sheet to which an objectively standard Pantone color is applied are placed together, the saturation and lightness of the color of the transparent acrylic that is visible through the achromatic sheet are matched to be the same as the saturation and lightness of the color of the colored acrylic, and after the step of setting a color standard for the transparent acrylic is performed, a step of displaying color information on the transparent acrylic is performed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, after molding transparent acrylic of a specific color, the transparent acrylic is placed on a grayscale sheet, and the color that appears when the transparent acrylic is placed on the grayscale sheet is matched with the color of a reference colored acrylic. By setting a color standard for the transparent acrylic based on the color of the colored acrylic matched with the transparent acrylic, a color standard for the transparent acrylic can be created, thereby enabling the systematization of the colors of transparent acrylic sheets. Furthermore, by forming a mirror layer on the transparent acrylic, it can also be used as a mirror. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2]It is a schematic diagram showing the process of color reference performed by the method for producing reference transparent-colored acrylic according to the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] The above-described objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a transparent-colored acrylic serving as a color reference, a method for producing the same, and a mirror using the transparent-colored acrylic according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0022] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a method for producing reference transparent-colored acrylic according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the process of color reference performed by the method for producing reference transparent-colored acrylic according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a side view showing a mirror using reference transparent-colored acrylic according to the present invention.

[0023] Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the method for producing a transparent-colored acrylic serving as a color reference of the present invention comprises: a transparent-colored acrylic molding step (S100), a step of placing the transparent-colored acrylic on an achromatic sheet (S110), a matching step with the color of colored acrylic (S120), and a color reference setting step of the transparent-colored acrylic (S130).

[0024] The transparent-colored acrylic molding step (S100) is a step of molding colored transparent-colored acrylic (100).

[0025] At this time, although not shown in the drawings, the transparent-colored acrylic molding step (S100) is implemented as follows: packing is provided at edge portions of opposing faces of upper and lower glass plates serving as a glass mold, a liquid material of MMA (Methyl Methacrylate), which is an acrylic raw liquid, is injected between the upper and lower glass plates, and then the liquid material is cured.

[0026] The step of positioning the transparent acrylic on the achromatic sheet (S110) is the step of positioning the transparent acrylic (100) on the achromatic sheet (110).

[0027] On the other hand, when performing the step of positioning transparent acrylic on a grayscale sheet (S110), the grayscale sheet (110) is provided to have a certain standard of brightness, and a white sheet is used as an example. In this case, it is preferable that the white sheet is a white from the Pantone color family that is the same as white paper.

[0028] The color matching step (S120) involves placing a transparent acrylic (100) on a white achromatic sheet (110) and matching the color (C1) of the transparent acrylic (100) that is visible through the achromatic sheet (110) with the color (C2) of the reference color acrylic (120).

[0029] In other words, the transparent acrylic (100) has its own color (C1), and when the transparent acrylic (100) is placed on the achromatic sheet (110), the color (C1) of the transparent acrylic (100) that appears when viewed from above will differ in saturation and brightness from the color (C1) of the transparent acrylic (100) itself, thereby matching the color (C1) of the transparent acrylic (100) that appears when placed on the achromatic sheet (110) with the color (C2) of the colored acrylic (120).

[0030] In this way, the saturation and brightness of the transparent acrylic (100) for color (C1) are matched to be the same as the saturation and brightness of the colored acrylic (120) for color (C2).

[0031] Here, during the color matching stage (S120) with the colored acrylic, the color (C2) of the colored acrylic (120) is determined using Pantone colors, which are systematized as a global color standard. In this case, Pantone colors are formed by mixing them with an opaque base obtained by mixing white during color manufacturing.

[0032] Furthermore, during the color matching stage (S120) with the colored acrylic, the transparent acrylic (100) and the colored acrylic (120), which are placed on a grayscale sheet (110), are compared visually under illumination. However, the color (C1) of the transparent acrylic (100) can also be matched with the color (C2) of the colored acrylic (120) using a spectrophotometer, chromometer, color tester, etc.

[0033] The color standard setting stage for transparent acrylic (S130) is the stage in which the color standard (brightness, saturation, etc.) of the transparent acrylic (100) is set based on the color of the colored acrylic (120) that is matched with the transparent acrylic (100).

[0034] At this time, after the step of setting the color reference for the transparent acrylic (S130) is performed, the step of displaying color information on the transparent acrylic (100) can be performed.

[0035] Therefore, the transparent acrylic (100) produced by the method for manufacturing transparent acrylic that serves as the color standard of the present invention can have its color standard set by matching the color that appears when the transparent acrylic (100) is placed on a white achromatic sheet (110) with the color of a colored acrylic (120) to which Pantone colors have been applied.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3, the standard mirror using transparent acrylic according to the present invention includes a mirror layer (102) formed on either the front or back surface of the transparent acrylic (100). In this way, the mirror layer (102) laminated on the transparent acrylic (100) makes it usable as a mirror.

[0037] In this case, the mirror layer (102) is formed by thinly depositing aluminum or chromium onto transparent acrylic (100).

[0038] The configurations included in each of the embodiments described above can also be implemented as various other modified combinations not illustrated above, as long as they are not clearly mutually exclusive from an implementation standpoint. [Explanation of symbols]
