The invention can be used in the manufacture of building materials, the furniture industry, in the production of elements of architectural and landscape design, and can be used in the automotive and shipbuilding. The hallmark method is that the formation of multi-layered decorative layer is carried out, wherein each layer is formed by independently applying successive transparent binder spray (ticking) for which the material is applied to a fraction, each fraction differs in color from the material applied to the previous layer. This method provides a variety of drawing on the surface of the stone, its richness, depth and complete simulation of the natural "wild" stone.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The proposed method relates to the production of building materials, elements of architectural and landscape design, interior, etc.

The closest analogue of this method is a method of manufacturing decorative articles based binder, the binder comprising mixing solutions of dyes of at least two colors, the formation of the granulated mass, mixing it with a binder. After these operations, the mixture is applied to the molding surface layer of 3-5 mm and is subjected to mechanical stress, the binder solution and shuts each dye separately, simultaneously mixture was stirred to form granules which are then assembled together in layers by adding cement mixing and after the mechanical action on this layer different size plates alter form granules, flattening them. After application of the top of the base layer and curing rasformovyvayut product, and the front side cover with a transparent adhesive. Russian Patent №2005632, cl. B 44 F 9/04, 1993.

This method has the disadvantages that it can not provide a molding of arbitrary shape with small texture, such as cobblestone, cleaved "wild" stone because necessary to change the shape of pellets by using a flattening mechanical impact - pressure so that they had a flat front surface. But a disadvantage is that the parallel mixing binder, mixing a solution of each of the dye does not provide a definition of borders colored granules on the surface of the drawing items, also it entails the appearance of stains on the drawing surface, the colors produced by the partial mixing dye colors that contributes to the appearance and streaks. Furthermore, the liquid solution that is applied onto the mold surface ~5 mm thick, vertical surfaces drains, which limits the use of the known method.

The proposed method for forming a decorative layer in the manufacture of artificial stone provides a complete simulation of the surface of natural stone with a rich pattern with given sizes and stone configurations.

This method is implemented as follows.

In the mild form, size and configuration of the stone, the first separating layer is applied, the thickness of which ~0,3 mm, separating the inner surface of the mold from the surface of the manufactured artificial stone, such as wax, liquid soap, etc., which should be dry after spraying. Next, a transparent binder layer applied ~0,5 mm thick, for example, polyester resin, any manner and allowed to dry so it will not adhere to the crumb of a hard material such as quartz, marble, dolomite, etc. Moreover, this thin layer of binder closely follows the relief features of natural stone surfaces (tiny cavities, overhangs, cracks). After that, they begin to form a decorative layer. This formation is as follows. On the layer above the binder is sprayed droplets, uneven specks transparent binder having adhesion to the already applied adhesive layer. Thereafter nepodsohshuyu surface specks caused raznofraktsionnye sprayed binder particles selected one from natural or artificial materials (marble, quartz, river sand, crushed glass, etc.). In the liquid droplets of binder material particles adhere, and that is not associated with the binder is removed by blowing or turning forms (ie, pour out), or removed somehow different. Wait until the previous coat dries decor to him did not stick the particles of solid material of the next layer. Thereafter applied in the same manner decor layer, with the only difference being that the particulate material fractions taken a different color or a different material (for example, in the 1st layer as fraction used marble chips, and the 2nd layer of dolomite powder, and so on. d.). By the same method is applied to the required number of decoration layers. After applying the desired number of layers formed obtain the decorative layer of natural stone pattern. Due to the different size and layering and bonding the associated factions material surface droplets obtain pellets of different sizes and colors with sharp boundaries, simulating inclusions. Constructed in this manner provides a variety of decorative layer pattern on the surface of a predetermined shape and a stone relief, richness and depth.

After the formation of the decorative layer is applied by applying a layer of reinforcing material layer (e.g., fiberglass, glass mat or the like) impregnated with a binder (e.g., polyester resin, epoxy resin, etc.). After curing, the reinforcing layer rock removed from the mold to obtain an artificial stone with a surface having a saturated color pattern of "wild" natural stone.

Soft shape is negative and provides accurate simulation of the surface of the "wild" natural stone, as made by molding in the natural stone or group of stones. The particles of the material accurately replicates the relief surface of the stone, as they are mixed with a binder strongly associated with a protective layer.
