ACROTECH Wood Grain Membrane Systems use vacuum membrane technology
to apply realistic wood grain patterns on 3D profiles, panels and complex-shaped
workpieces. This technology provides natural wood appearance on MDF, chipboard
and other board materials with high precision and durability.
How Does the Membrane System Work?
The vacuum membrane process starts with placing the workpiece on the membrane press table.
A decorative foil (PVC, acrylic or melamine film) with wood grain pattern is placed over
the workpiece. The membrane press creates vacuum, pulling the foil tightly over all
surfaces including complex 3D profiles, edges and corners. Heat and pressure ensure
perfect adhesion between the foil and the substrate.
Process Stages
- Surface Preparation: Sanding and cleaning of substrate material
- Adhesive Application: PUR or EVA hot-melt adhesive applied uniformly
- Foil Placement: Decorative film positioned over the workpiece
- Vacuum Press: Membrane creates vacuum for tight foil adhesion
- Heating: Controlled heat activates adhesive and softens foil
- Cooling & Trimming: Excess foil trimmed, quality inspection
