Staining resin compounds and products therefrom

摘要

A method of preparing a stainable resin material includes compounding 100 parts by weight of a resin material with from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight of a filler material being a plurality of individual filler particulate; and, heat polishing the surface of the material at a temperature sufficient to remove a portion of the material surface such that at least a portion of the filler particulate proximate to the surface is at least partially exposed. The filler material is selected from the group consisting of stainable materials. Products made using such a material may include striations to simulate the appearance of wood.
