Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a decorative sheet and a decorative board. Background Art

[0002] The decorative sheet is used by being adhered to the surface of a wooden board, a plastic board, etc. for the purpose of surface protection, decoration, etc. Further, the decorative board thus obtained is used for various purposes such as ornaments, building materials, furniture, etc.

[0003] The decorative sheet used for the above uses needs to exhibit the adhesion of the surface protective layer to the lower layer. In particular, since a film having a small number of polar groups is sometimes used for the surface of the lower layer, the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet needs to exhibit adhesion to such a film.

[0004] As a decorative sheet having a surface protective layer that exhibits adhesion to a film, a hard coat film in which at least one surface of a base film is provided with a hard coat has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

[0005] However, in the hard coat film provided with a hard coat in Patent Document 1, the adhesion between the base film and the hard coat film when used for various purposes is insufficient, and there is room for improvement.

[0006] In addition, since the decorative sheet is used by being adhered to the surface of a wooden board, a plastic board, etc., it sometimes collides with an object. For this reason, the surface of the decorative sheet needs to have surface hardness and scratch resistance.

[0007] Furthermore, since the decorative sheet is used by being adhered to the surface of an article for decorative purposes, it needs to conform to the shape of the article. Therefore, the decorative sheet needs to have processability capable of being processed to conform to the shape of the article. The hard coat film described in Patent Document 1 has not been studied for processability and has a problem of poor processability.

[0008] Therefore, it is desired to develop a decorative sheet having excellent adhesion to the lower layer, excellent surface hardness and scratch resistance, and excellent processability.

[0037] 1. Decorative sheet

[0038] The decorative sheet of the present invention is characterized in that the decorative sheet has at least a surface protective layer, the surface protective layer contains a crosslinked and cured resin, and in the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer, the peak height appearing at 855-1325 cm ﹣1 is set as A, and when the peak height appearing at 1650-1800 cm ﹣1 is set as B, the peak height ratio of A to B ((A / B)×100(%)) is 105% or more and 400% or less. In the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer, when the peak height appearing at 3200-3500 cm ﹣1 is set as C, the peak height ratio of B to C ((B / C)×100(%)) is 1000% or more and 6000% or less. Due to the above characteristics, the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet of the present invention has excellent adhesion to the lower layer, excellent surface hardness and scratch resistance, and excellent processability. Therefore, the decorative board laminated with the decorative sheet of the present invention can be used for various applications such as various building materials and furniture.

[0039] As described above, for the decorative sheet of the present invention, when the peak height appearing at 855-1325 cm ﹣1 is set as A and the peak height appearing at 1650-1800 cm ﹣1 is set as B, the peak height ratio of A to B ((A / B)×100(%)) is 105% or more and 400% or less, and in the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer, when the peak height appearing at 3200-3500 cm ﹣1 is set as C, the peak height ratio of B to C ((B / C)×100(%)) is 1000% or more and 6000% or less. Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0040] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an example of the infrared spectrum (hereinafter also simply referred to as "IR") measurement result of the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet of the present invention. In Figure 1 , A represents the peak of the ether bond, B represents the peak of the ester bond, and C represents the peak of the urethane bond.

[0041] It should be noted that in this specification, the peak height of each peak is measured as follows. That is, as Figure 2 shown, two base points b1 and b2 of each peak are taken, and a baseline bL connecting the base points with a straight line is drawn. Then, a perpendicular line is drawn vertically downward from the peak top position p to determine the intersection point bp with the baseline bL. The length h between p and bp is set as the peak height of the peak.

[0042] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, when the A peak appears as multiple peaks, the peak height is measured as described below. That is, as Figure 3 shown, when there are two adjacent peaks, when the heights h1-1 and h2-1 from the peak valley between the two peaks to the peak top are above 0.10 Abs, the sum of the peak heights h1 and h2 of the two peaks is set as the peak height. It should be noted that in Figure 3 , there are adjacent peaks on both sides of the peak with the peak top p2, and there are two heights h2-1 and h2-2 from the peak valley between the two peaks to the peak top. In this case, the shorter height h2-1 is used to determine whether it is above 0.10 Abs.

[0043] In this specification, the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer can be carried out by a commercially available measurement device for infrared spectrum measurement.

[0044] In the decorative sheet material of the present invention, in the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer, when the peak height appearing at 855-1325 cm ﹣1 is set as A and the peak height appearing at 1650-1800 cm ﹣1 is set as B, the peak height ratio of A to B ((A / B)×100 (%)) is above 105% and below 400%. When the peak height ratio of A to B is less than 105%, there are too many ester bonds in the surface protective layer, the surface protective layer becomes too hard, and the processability of the decorative sheet material becomes lower. When the peak height ratio of A to B exceeds 400%, there are too many ether bonds, the surface protective layer becomes too soft, and the surface hardness and scratch resistance of the decorative sheet material become lower. The peak height ratio of A to B is preferably above 110% and below 300%, and more preferably above 150% and below 250%.

[0045] In the decorative sheet material of the present invention, when the peak height appearing at 3200-3500 cm ﹣1 in the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer is set as C, the peak height ratio of B to C ((B / C)×100 (%)) is above 1000% and below 6000%. When the peak height ratio of B and C is less than 1000%, there are too many urethane bonds in the surface protective layer, as Figure 6 shown, the hydrogen bond between the -N-H group and the -C=O group in the urethane bond increases excessively, the surface protective layer becomes too hard, and the processability of the decorative sheet material becomes lower. When the peak height ratio of B to C exceeds 6000%, there are too few urethane bonds in the surface protective layer, the surface protective layer becomes too soft, and the surface hardness and scratch resistance of the decorative sheet material become lower. The peak height ratio of B and C is preferably above 1300% and below 5500%, and more preferably above 1500% and below 5200%.

[0046] As a method for adjusting the peak height ratio of A to B and the peak height ratio of B to C to the above ranges, a method for adjusting the composition ratio of the crosslinkable and curable resin used to form the surface protective layer can be cited. In the case of a composition ratio in which the crosslinkable and curable resin contains a large amount of ether bonds and a small amount of ester bonds, the peak height ratio of A to B increases. Conversely, in the case of a composition ratio in which the crosslinkable and curable resin contains a small amount of ether bonds and a large amount of ester bonds, the peak height ratio of A to B decreases. In addition, in the case of a composition ratio in which the crosslinkable and curable resin contains a large amount of ester bonds and a small amount of urethane bonds, the peak height ratio of B to C increases. Conversely, in the case of a composition ratio in which the crosslinkable and curable resin contains a small amount of ester bonds and a large amount of urethane bonds, the peak height ratio of B to C decreases.

[0047] The respective layers of the decorative sheet of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be noted that in the decorative sheet of the present invention, the surface refers to the so-called "front surface layer". When the decorative sheet of the present invention is used by being laminated on a substrate or the like, the surface is the layer on the opposite side to the layer in contact with the substrate, and is the visible layer after lamination. In addition, in the present specification, the direction of the above-mentioned surface of the decorative sheet of the present invention is sometimes referred to as "front" or "upper", and the opposite side thereof is sometimes referred to as "back" or "lower". In addition, in the following description, the lower limit and the upper limit of the numerical range represented by "~" mean "above... and below..." (for example, "α~β" means above α and below β).

[0048] In addition, the layer thickness in the present specification is a measured value of a portion of the decorative sheet where there are no embossments, protruding fine particles, or other uneven shapes.

[0049] (Layer structure of the decorative sheet of the present invention)

[0050] The decorative sheet of the present invention only needs to have at least a surface protective layer, and preferably has the above-mentioned surface protective layer on the outermost surface of the decorative sheet. The specific structure can be appropriately set according to the use of the decorative sheet and the like. For example, a layer structure having a base sheet 11, a pattern layer 12 (solid color coating layer and / or pattern coating layer), an adhesive layer (not shown), a transparent resin layer 13, and a surface protective layer 14 in this order as shown in Figure 4 can be cited. Hereinafter, a decorative sheet having such a layer structure will be described as a representative example.

[0051] (Surface protective layer)

[0052] The decorative sheet of the present invention has at least a surface protective layer. In the present specification, the surface protective layer contains a crosslinkable and curable resin.

[0053] Examples of crosslinking and curing type resins include thermosetting resins, radiation-curable resins (e.g., electron beam-curable resins), etc. In particular, from the perspectives of scratch resistance brought by high surface hardness, excellent shape retention, productivity, etc., the surface protective layer preferably contains a radiation-curable resin, and more preferably, the resin constituting the surface protective layer is a radiation-curable resin.

[0054] Examples of thermosetting resins include, for example, unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethane resins (including two-component curing type polyurethanes), epoxy resins, amino alkyd resins, phenolic resins, urea resins, diallyl phthalate resins, melamine resins, guanidine resins, melamine-urea co-condensation resins, silicone resins, polysiloxane resins, etc.

[0055] Curing agents such as crosslinking agents and polymerization initiators, and polymerization accelerators, etc. can be added to the above resins. For example, as curing agents, isocyanates, organic sulfonates, etc. can be added to unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethane resins, etc., organic amines, etc. can be added to epoxy resins, and peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, free radical initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile can be added to unsaturated polyester resins.

[0056] Examples of the method of forming a surface protective layer with a thermosetting resin include a method of coating a thermosetting resin solution by coating methods such as roll coating method, gravure coating method, etc. and then drying and curing.

[0057] The radiation-curable resin is not limited as long as it can initiate a crosslinking polymerization reaction by irradiating ionizing radiation and change into a three-dimensional polymer structure. For example, one or more of prepolymers, oligomers, and monomers having a polymerizable unsaturated bond or epoxy group that can be crosslinked by irradiating ionizing radiation in the molecule can be used. For example, acrylate resins such as polyurethane acrylate, polyester acrylate, epoxy acrylate, etc.; silicone resins such as siloxane; polyester resins; epoxy resins, etc. can be cited.

[0058] The radiation-curable resin preferably contains an acrylate resin having a (meth)acryloyl group. By making the radiation-curable resin contain an acrylate resin having a (meth)acryloyl group, hydrogen bonds are generated between the molecules of the radiation-curable resin, so that the surface hardness and scratch resistance of the surface protective layer can be further improved.

[0059] Ionizing radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet rays (near ultraviolet rays, vacuum ultraviolet rays, etc.), X-rays, electron beams, ion beams, etc., and among them, ultraviolet rays and / or electron beams are preferred.

[0060] As the ultraviolet light source, light sources such as ultra-high pressure mercury lamps, high pressure mercury lamps, low pressure mercury lamps, carbon arc lamps, black light fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. can be used. As the wavelength of the ultraviolet light, it is about 190 to 380 nm.

[0061] As the electron beam source, various electron beam accelerators such as Cockcroft-Walton type, Van de Graaft type, resonant transformer type, insulated core transformer type, linear type, dynamic electron type, high frequency type, etc. can be used. As the energy of the electron beam, it is preferably about 100 to 1000 keV, more preferably about 100 to 300 keV. The irradiation dose of the electron beam is preferably about 2 to 15 Mrad.

[0062] The ionizing radiation curable resin can be sufficiently cured after irradiating with an electron beam, but when curing by irradiating with ultraviolet light, it is preferable to add a photoinitiator (sensitizer).

[0063] In the case of a resin system containing a radically polymerizable unsaturated group, as the photoinitiator, at least one of, for example, acetophenones, benzophenones, thioxanthones, benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, Michler's benzoyl benzoate, Michler's ketone, diphenyl sulfide, dibenzyl disulfide, diethyl oxide, triphenyl benzimidazole, isopropyl-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate, etc. can be used. In addition, in the case of a resin system having a cationically polymerizable functional group, at least one of, for example, aromatic diazonium salts, aromatic sulfonium salts, metallocene compounds, benzoin sulfonate esters, radical oxosulfonium diallyl iodide salts, etc. can be used.

[0064] The addition amount of the photoinitiator is usually but not particularly limited to about 0.1 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the ionizing radiation curable resin.

[0065] In addition, in recent years, the use of biomass-derived resins with a small environmental load has been studied from various aspects, and the resin forming the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet of the present invention may also contain biomass-derived components, and specifically, biomass polyolefins, etc. can be used.

[0066] The surface protective layer may be one layer or two or more layers. In the present invention, when the surface protective layer is multiple layers, each layer contains a crosslinkable curable resin. In addition, when the surface protective layer is multiple layers, the infrared spectrum measurement of the surface protective layer is to measure the infrared spectrum of the laminated surface protective layer from the surface protective layer side of the outermost surface.

[0067] The thickness of the surface protective layer is not particularly limited as long as it is within the range that does not hinder the effects of the present invention, and is preferably 1 to 200 μm, more preferably 1 to 100 μm, further preferably 3 to 50 μm, and particularly preferably 4 to 40 μm.

[0068] The surface protective layer may contain fine particles. Examples of the fine particles include inorganic fillers such as silica, alumina, silicon carbide, silicon dioxide, calcium titanate, barium titanate, magnesium pyroborate, zinc oxide, silicon nitride, zirconia, chromium oxide, iron oxide, boron nitride, diamond, emery, glass fiber, etc.; organic material powders or beads such as acryloyl, crosslinked alkyl, crosslinked styrene, benzoguanamine resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, polyethylene, nylon, etc. One or more of the above fine particles can be used.

[0069] The average particle size of the fine particles is preferably equal to or greater than the thickness of the surface protective layer, and in order to exhibit scratch resistance, it is preferably less than "the thickness of the surface protective layer + 40 μm", more preferably "the thickness of the surface protective layer + 30 μm" or less.

[0070] The average particle size of the fine particles can be measured by known methods such as laser diffraction method, Coulter counter method, sedimentation method, etc. It should be noted that the above average particle size refers to the most frequent particle size.

[0071] The content of the fine particles in the surface protective layer is preferably 3 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 30 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin component forming the surface protective layer.

[0072] Silicone can be added to the surface protective layer. When adding silicone to the surface protective layer, from the perspective of having both easy erasability and non-slip properties, the addition amount of silicone is preferably 0.1 to 1 part by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 part by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin (resin component) constituting the surface protective layer.

[0073] Solvents, dyes, pigments and other colorants, inorganic fillers and other fillers, various additives such as defoamers, leveling agents, thixotropy imparting agents (thixotropic agents), flame retardants, antibacterial agents, antiviral agents, anti-allergy agents, etc. can also be added to the surface protective layer as needed.

[0074] As the inorganic filler, by making the surface protective layer contain inorganic fillers with a size larger than the layer thickness of the surface protective layer, it can be used as a means to endow the surface protective layer with a set surface property. In addition, the inorganic filler can also be used as a matting agent, and by making the surface protective layer contain the inorganic filler, it is expected to achieve the effect of suppressing the curing shrinkage of the surface protective layer. Therefore, in the present invention, the inorganic filler is preferably a filler that has been surface-treated (hydrophobized). In addition, since the effects are easily achieved, it is particularly preferred that at least one selected from antibacterial agents, antiviral agents and anti-allergen agents is contained in the surface protective layer of the outermost surface layer among these additives.

[0075] Examples of the inorganic filler include silica, alumina, silicon carbide, silicon dioxide, calcium titanate, barium titanate, magnesium pyroborate, zinc oxide, silicon nitride, zirconium oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, boron nitride, diamond, emery, glass fiber, etc.

[0076] The method for surface treatment (hydrophobization treatment) of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited and can be carried out by known methods. For example, a method of hydrophobizing the inorganic filler with a silicone oil-based treatment agent can be cited; a method of treating the inorganic filler with an alkylsilazane-based treatment agent, a trimethylsilylating agent, and / or an alkoxysilane and then hydrophobizing the inorganic filler with the above silicone oil-based treatment agent; a method of hydrophobizing the inorganic filler with a silicone oil-based treatment agent and then treating it with a trimethylsilylating agent or an alkylsilazane-based treatment agent; a method of hydrophobizing the inorganic filler with an alkoxysilane; a method of treating the inorganic filler with an alkoxysilane and then treating it with a silicone oil-based treatment agent or a combination of a silicone oil-based treatment agent and an alkoxysilane; a method of treating the inorganic filler with a dimethyl ether siloxane and / or trimethylsilanol or a cyclic siloxane, etc. In addition, as the hydrophobization treatment method, not only the above hydrophobization treatment methods can be cited, but also methods of treating with various coupling agents such as silane coupling agents, titanate-based coupling agents, and aluminate-based coupling agents; surfactants such as phosphoric acid-based and fatty acid-based surfactants; oils, stearic acid, etc. Hereinafter, the above-mentioned various products (for example, treatment agents such as silicone oil-based treatment agents, all products such as silane coupling agents and surfactants) used for hydrophobizing the untreated inorganic filler are collectively referred to as hydrophobization treatment agents.

[0077] The method for hydrophobizing the inorganic filler with a hydrophobization treatment agent is not particularly limited and can be carried out by known methods. For example, a method of adding (for example, spraying) the hydrophobization treatment agent stock solution or a dilution of the hydrophobization treatment agent diluted with water or an organic solvent to the untreated inorganic filler (dry treatment method); a method of treating (for example, impregnating) the untreated inorganic filler with the hydrophobization treatment agent stock solution, an aqueous solution containing the hydrophobization treatment agent, or an organic solvent containing the hydrophobization treatment agent and then drying it (wet treatment method), etc. Through such treatment, the surface of part or all of the inorganic filler is (a) coated with the hydrophobization treatment agent, or (b) adsorbed with the hydrophobization treatment agent, or (c) coated with the hydrophobization treatment agent and adsorbed with the hydrophobization treatment agent (a combination of (a) and (b)), etc. As a result, the hydrophobized inorganic filler is obtained. It should be noted that the hydrophobization treatment agent can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0078] As the above-mentioned antibacterial agents, there are inorganic antibacterial agents and organic antibacterial agents. In particular, inorganic antibacterial agents are generally safer, and have better durability and heat resistance than organic antibacterial agents, and thus are preferred. Inorganic antibacterial agents refer to products in which antibacterial metals such as copper and zinc represented by silver are carried on various inorganic carriers. When the antibacterial agent is contained in the surface protective layer, its addition amount is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component of the surface protective layer, and the details can be appropriately adjusted according to the type of antibacterial agent.

[0079] As the above-mentioned antiviral agents, they can generally be roughly classified into organic and inorganic types. As organic antiviral agents, there are quaternary ammonium salts, quaternary phosphonium salts, pyridine-based, pyrithione-based, benzimidazole-based, organic iodonium-based, isothiazoline-based, anionic-based, ether-based, etc. As inorganic antiviral agents, there are products in which metal ions such as silver, copper, and zinc are carried on carriers such as zeolite, apatite, zircon, glass, and molybdenum oxide. When the antiviral agent is contained in the surface protective layer, its addition amount is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component of the surface protective layer, and the details can be appropriately adjusted according to the type of antiviral agent.

[0080] Among the above-mentioned organic antiviral agents, it is particularly suitable to use benzimidazole-based antiviral agents, anionic-based antiviral agents, or ether-based antiviral agents that maintain the particle shape. Among them, maintaining the particle shape means that the preparation does not dissolve in the composition (coating before curing) of the curable resin that forms the surface protective layer and exists in a particulate state. Therefore, during the formation of the surface protective layer, imidazole-based compound particles, anionic-based compound particles, or ether-based compound particles tend to float, so that imidazole-based compound particles, anionic-based compounds, or ether-based compound particles tend to segregate on the outermost surface side of the surface protective layer. Moreover, by segregating imidazole-based compound particles, anionic-based compound particles, or ether-based compound particles on the outermost surface side of the surface protective layer, it is possible to suppress the addition amount of the antiviral agent required to obtain the set antiviral performance, and it is easy to suppress the reduction of the scratch resistance of the surface protective layer.

[0081] As the above-mentioned anionic-based antiviral agent, a preparation containing, for example, a styrene resin, a styrene polymer derivative compound, and an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative compound is preferred. In addition, the above-mentioned styrene polymer derivative compound and unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative compound preferably contain at least one structure among the structures of styrene, sodium sulfonate, acrylic acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid, and more preferably contain all the structures. This is because based on the presence or absence of an envelope, there are generally two types of viruses, and the structures of antiviral agents that can effectively inhibit the activity of each virus are different. For this reason, for example, if it is expected to be effective only against the influenza virus, a non-enveloped virus, it may be sufficient to contain only the styrene polymer derivative compound, and in some cases, sufficient effects can be achieved by containing only the styrene resin monomer.

[0082] As the above-mentioned inorganic antiviral agent, from the perspective of having no biological toxicity and good safety, a silver-based antiviral agent is preferably used. Among them, since a phosphoric acid-based glass-silver supported compound, a silver zeolite compound, and a silver molybdenum oxide double salt compound can exhibit antiviral performance even in small amounts and the addition amount can be controlled, they are more preferred.

[0083] When the above-mentioned silver-based antiviral agent is contained in the surface protective layer, it will change color along with the surface protective layer (in the case of changing color due to heat / light based on the state of the added coating, or changing color due to heat / light after the surface protective layer is formed). However, in this case, it can be improved by adding an ultraviolet inhibitor, a light stabilizer, etc. in a timely manner. For example, when using a benzotriazole-based compound relative to the above-mentioned silver molybdenum oxide double salt compound, an effect of improving color change is expected.

[0084] The above-mentioned anti-allergen agent contains either an inorganic compound or an organic compound, and each compound can be used alone, or two or more different types can be mixed and used. As the inorganic compound, a material formed by supporting a metal is preferably used. When contained in the surface protective layer, the addition amount of the anti-allergen agent is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the resin component of the surface protective layer, and the details can be appropriately adjusted according to the type of the anti-allergen agent.

After adding a dispersion liquid containing additives, it is hydrated and dispersed using a vortex mixer to obtain vesicles; the extrusion method is a method in which a phospholipid solution for preparing a film is used, and the mixer used as an external perturbation in the Bangham method is replaced by a filter to obtain vesicles; the hydration method is almost the same as the preparation method of the Bangham method, except that it is a method in which dispersion is carried out by gently stirring without using a mixer to obtain vesicles; the reverse phase evaporation method is a method in which phospholipids are dissolved in ether or chloroform, etc., a solution containing additives is added to make a W / O emulsion, and after removing the organic solvent from this emulsion under reduced pressure, vesicles are obtained by adding water; the freeze-thaw method is a method in which cooling / heating is used as an external perturbation, and vesicles are obtained by repeatedly performing this cooling / heating.

[0160] Hereinafter, the supercritical reverse phase evaporation method will be described in detail. The supercritical reverse phase evaporation method is a method in which an aqueous phase of various additives as water-soluble or hydrophilic encapsulants is added to a mixture obtained by uniformly dissolving a substance forming an outer membrane of vesicles in carbon dioxide under supercritical state or temperature or pressure conditions above the supercritical point, to form a capsule-shaped vesicle containing various additives as encapsulants with a single-layer membrane. It should be noted that carbon dioxide in the supercritical state refers to carbon dioxide in the supercritical state above the critical temperature (30.98 °C) and critical pressure (7.3773 ± 0.0030 MPa), and carbon dioxide under temperature or pressure conditions above the critical point refers to carbon dioxide under conditions where only the critical temperature or only the critical pressure exceeds the critical conditions. By this method, single-layered vesicles with a diameter of 50 to 800 nm can be obtained. Generally, vesicles are a general term for small vesicles with a membrane structure closed in a spherical shell shape and containing a liquid phase inside, and in particular, vesicles whose outer membrane is formed of biological lipids such as phospholipids are collectively referred to as liposomes.

[0161] As the above-mentioned phospholipids, glycerolipids such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin, egg yolk lecithin, hydrogenated egg yolk lecithin, soybean lecithin, hydrogenated soybean lecithin, etc., and sphingomyelins such as sphingomyelin, amide phosphoethanolamine, and ceramide phosphoglycerol can be cited.

[0162] As the substance constituting the outer membrane, a dispersant such as a nonionic surfactant or a mixture thereof with cholesterols or triacylglycerols can also be used.

[0163] As the above nonionic surfactant, one or more of polyglycerol ethers, dialkyl glycerols, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymers, polybutadiene-polyoxyethylene copolymers, polybutadiene-poly-2-vinylpyridine, polystyrene-polyacrylic acid copolymers, polyoxyethylene-polyethyl ethylene copolymers, polyoxyethylene-polycaprolactam copolymers, etc. can be used.

[0164] As the above cholesterols, one or more of cholesterol, α-cholestanol, β-cholestanol, cholestane, desmosterol (5,24-cholestadien-3β-ol), sodium cholate, cholecalciferol, etc. can be used.

[0165] The outer membrane of the above liposome can be formed of a mixture of phospholipids and a dispersant. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, by making the outer membrane a liposome formed of phospholipids, the compatibility between the resin composition as the main component of each layer and various additives can be improved.

[0166] (Manufacturing method of decorative sheet)

[0167] The decorative sheet of the present invention is obtained by forming at least a surface protective layer on the outermost surface. For example, it can be obtained by laminating a pattern layer, a transparent adhesive layer, a transparent resin layer, and a primer layer on a base sheet and then forming a surface protective layer on the outermost surface.

[0168] In addition, when embossing is applied to the decorative sheet, it can be either after forming the surface protective layer or before forming the surface protective layer. For example, as a specific embodiment, it can be: 1) After sequentially forming a pattern layer, a transparent resin layer, and a primer layer on a base sheet, forming a surface protective layer, and finally performing embossing; or as another specific embodiment, it can also be: 2) After sequentially forming a pattern layer, a transparent resin layer, and a primer layer on a base sheet, performing embossing, and finally forming a surface protective layer; additionally, as yet another specific embodiment, it can be: 3) After sequentially forming a pattern layer and a transparent resin layer on a base sheet, then performing embossing, then setting a primer layer, and finally forming a surface protective layer. When adjusting the Sm, Rz, and the area ratio of the portion from the surface to a depth of 30 μm of the surface protective layer by embossing, it is preferable to perform embossing after forming the surface protective layer.

[0169] Embossing can transfer an uneven pattern to the patterned printing surface side of the decorative sheet at a sheet temperature of 120°C to 160°C and a pressure of 10 to 40 kg / cm 2 of pressure.

[0170] 2. Decorative board

[0171] The decorative panel of the present invention is a decorative panel having the above-mentioned decorative sheet on a base material. As long as the decorative sheet can be laminated on the base material so that the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet is the outermost surface layer.

[0172] The base material (coated object member) is not limited, and the same base materials as those of known decorative panels can be used. For example, wood materials, metals, ceramics, plastics, glass, etc. can be cited. The decorative sheet of the present invention can be particularly suitable for wood materials. As wood materials, specifically, various materials such as cypress, hinoki, beech, pine, lauan, teak, white lauan, etc. can be cited to make raised panels, wood veneers, plywood, fiberboard, particle board, medium density fiberboard (MDF), etc.

[0173] The lamination method can be but is not limited to, for example, a method of bonding the decorative sheet to the base material using an adhesive, etc. The adhesive can be appropriately selected from known adhesives according to the type of the base material, etc. For example, in addition to polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene / acrylic acid copolymer, ionomer, etc., butadiene / acrylonitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, natural rubber, etc. can also be cited. These adhesives can be used alone, or two or more of them can be used in combination.

[0174] The decorative panel manufactured in this way can be used for, for example, interior building materials such as walls, ceilings, and floors, surface decorative panels for building components such as window frames, doors, and handrails, surface decorative panels for furniture or cabinets of weak current and OA equipment, etc. In particular, the decorative panel of the present invention can be suitably used as a decorative material for floors.

[0176] Examples and comparative examples are given below to more specifically illustrate the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.

[0177] Example 1

[0178] (Preparation of Decorative Sheet)

[0179] A primer layer (back primer layer) was provided on the back of a 60-μm-thick colored polypropylene film base material sheet. Subsequently, a pattern layer was formed on the surface of the base material sheet by printing, and then an adhesive layer was formed on the pattern layer. A transparent polypropylene-based resin (transparent random polypropylene-based resin) sheet was laminated on the adhesive layer by extrusion lamination to form a 80-μm-thick transparent resin layer. Subsequently, after corona discharge treatment was performed on the surface of the transparent random polypropylene-based resin sheet on the adhesive layer, a primer layer was formed by coating a two-component curable polyurethane resin.

[0180] An ionizing radiation-curable resin containing a polyurethane acrylate oligomer was used. By means of gravure coating, it was coated on the surface of the above primer layer at a coating amount of 15 μm over the entire surface. Then, in an environment with an oxygen concentration of 200 ppm or less, an electron beam was irradiated using an electron irradiation device under the conditions of an acceleration voltage of 165 keV and 5 Mrad, thereby forming a surface protective layer. Subsequently, the side of the surface protective layer was heated with an infrared non-contact heater to soften the base sheet and the transparent resin layer, and then embossing was performed using hot pressing.

[0181] It should be noted that as the polyurethane acrylate oligomer contained in the ionizing radiation-curable resin for forming the surface protective layer, a product in which the following polyurethane acrylate oligomers were mixed in the following ratio was used.

First, 100 parts by mass of methanol, 82 parts by mass of a metal salt of phosphoric acid ester-based nucleating agent (ADEKASTAB NA-11, manufactured by ADEKA Corporation), and 5 parts by mass of phosphatidylcholine were added to a high-pressure stainless steel container maintained at a temperature of 60 °C and sealed. Carbon dioxide was injected until the pressure reached 20 MPa to form a supercritical state. Then, 100 parts by mass of ion-exchanged water was injected under a state of vigorous stirring and mixing, and stirred for 15 minutes while maintaining the temperature and pressure inside the container. Then, carbon dioxide was discharged to return to atmospheric pressure, and a nucleating agent vesicle having a phospholipid outer membrane encapsulating the nucleating agent was obtained.

[0190] (Formation of the transparent resin layer, the pattern layer, and the color masking layer)

[0191] The polypropylene-based resin (transparent random polypropylene resin) containing the nucleating agent vesicles obtained as described above was extrusion molded into a thickness of 80 μm to form a transparent resin layer. A pattern was printed on one surface of the transparent resin layer using a two-component curable polyurethane coating (V351, manufactured by Toyo T&I Co., Ltd.) to form a pattern layer. Then, a two-component curable polyurethane coating having a masking property (V351, manufactured by Toyo T&I Co., Ltd.) was applied on top of the pattern layer at a coating amount of 6 g / m 2 to form a color masking layer.

[0192] (Formation of the primer layer)

[0193] A two-component curable polyurethane coating (PET-E, reducer, manufactured by Dainichi Seika Co., Ltd.) as a primer was applied on top of the color masking layer at a coating amount of 1 g / m 2 to form a back primer layer.

[0194] (Formation of the embossed pattern)

[0195] Subsequently, an embossed pattern was formed by embossing on the other surface of the transparent resin layer using an embossing die roll.

[0196] (Formation of the surface protective layer)

[0197] A surface protective layer including a surface protective layer 1 (lower layer) and a surface protective layer 2 (upper layer) was formed by sequentially laminating the following surface protective layer forming composition 1 (coating amount after drying (described by film thickness after drying), the same below) 5 μm) and surface protective layer forming composition 2 (coating amount after drying 10 μm) on the surface of the embossed pattern.

[0223] Example 4

[0224] Except that the polyurethane acrylate oligomer contained in the ionizing radiation-curable resin forming the surface protective layer was a mixture of the following polyurethane acrylate oligomers according to the following ratio, the same procedures as in Example 1 were carried out to produce decorative sheets and decorative boards.

[0227] · Ratio (mass ratio) A : B = 65 : 35

[0228] Comparative Example 1

[0229] As the resin for forming the surface protective layer, the polyurethane acrylate-based ultraviolet curable resin composition "TOMAX FA-3246" (solid content: 40%, manufactured by Nippon Chemical Coating Co., Ltd.) and the polyurethane acrylate-based ultraviolet curable resin "ART RESIN UN-904" (solid content: 100%, number of (meth)acryloyloxy groups: 10, manufactured by Negami Kogyo Co., Ltd.) were used as the main components, and TOMAX FA-3246 and UN-904 were mixed at a solid component ratio (mass ratio) of 80 / 20. After adding IRGACURE 184 (photoinitiator, manufactured by BASF Co., Ltd.) at a dosage of 3 parts by mass relative to the solid components of the resin composition, it was diluted with butyl acetate until the solid component concentration in the coating for forming the surface protective layer reached 30%, and it was sufficiently stirred to prepare the coating for forming the surface protective layer. On the surface of the primer layer, the prepared coating for forming the surface protective layer was coated with a doctor blade coater and hot air dried in a drying oven at 80°C for 1 minute to form a coating with a film thickness of 5.0 μm. Subsequently, a UV irradiation device installed at a height 60 mm higher than the coating application surface was used to perform UV irradiation under the condition of a UV irradiation dose of 250 mJ / cm 2 and the surface protective layer was cured and formed. In addition, the decorative sheet and decorative board of Comparative Example 1 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0230] The following measurements were carried out using the decorative sheets prepared in the examples and comparative examples.

[0231] [IR peak height ratio]

[0232] The infrared spectrum of the surface of the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet was measured using an infrared spectrometer (IR Affinity-1A, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). When the peak height appearing in the wavenumber range of 855 - 1325 cm ﹣1 is set as A, the peak height appearing in the wavenumber range of 1650 - 1800 cm ﹣1 is set as B, and the peak height appearing in the wavenumber range of 3200 - 3500 cm ﹣1 is set as C, the ratios (A / B)×100 and (B / C)×100 are defined as the peak height ratios.

[0233] As the method for measuring the peak height, a baseline was drawn in each wavelength range, and the length connecting from the peak apex parallel to the vertical axis to the baseline was measured. It should be noted that when there are multiple peaks in each wavelength range, if the difference between the peak apex and valley of adjacent peaks is 0.010 Abs or more, they are regarded as "two peaks", and the sum of the heights of each peak is regarded as the "peak height".

[0234] [Adhesion]

[0235] According to the test method of JIS-K5600-5-6, under the conditions of 25°C and 50% RH in a JIS environment, a cross-cut peel test was conducted on the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet. Specifically, a cutter was used to make scratches on the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet at intervals of 1 mm, forming a cross-cut pattern with 11 vertical and 11 horizontal scratches, creating 100 square cross-cuts. On this, tape No. 252 manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. was pasted, and after evenly pressing it with a spatula, peeling was carried out along the 60° direction. After 5 times of pressing and peeling at the same position, the number of remaining surface protective layers (cross-cuts) was measured and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. It should be noted that in the case of evaluating adhesion after environmental testing, after placing the decorative sheet in a damp heat environment of 60°C and 90% RH for 3 weeks, the above-mentioned adhesion evaluation was carried out at an environment of 25°C. It should be noted that the longitudinal direction of the decorative sheet refers to the winding direction of the raw material roll of the decorative sheet (MD direction of the manufacturing device), and the transverse direction of the decorative sheet refers to the width direction of the raw material roll of the decorative sheet (TD direction of the manufacturing device).

[0236] (Evaluation criteria)

[0237] ++: 100

[0238] +: More than 95 and less than 99

[0239] -: More than 80 and less than 94

[0240] ――: 79 or less

[0241] [Scratch resistance]

[0242] Steel wool (No. 0000 manufactured by BON STAR) was brought into contact with the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet and a load of 300 g / m 2 was applied, and a friction test was carried out under the condition of reciprocating 300 times. According to the test method of JIS-K5600-5-10, steel wool (No. 0000 manufactured by BON STAR) was used to reciprocate 100 times with a load of 1 kg on the surface of one side of the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet, and the evaluation of the scratch situation was carried out according to the following evaluation criteria.

[0243] (Evaluation criteria)

[0244] ++: No scratches appeared

[0245] +: A small number of scratches appeared

[0246] -: A large number of scratches appeared

[0247] [Pencil hardness]

[0248] The pencil hardness was measured according to the test method of JIS K5600-5-4. The hardness at which no scratch appeared on the surface was taken as the pencil hardness.

[0249] [Bending whitening]

[0250] The decorative sheet was cut into a test piece of 10 cm × 10 cm. This test piece was sharply bent 180 degrees in the longitudinal and transverse directions (both vertical and horizontal directions) in such a way that the surface protective layer side bulged into a mountain shape, and evaluation was carried out according to the following evaluation criteria. It should be noted that the longitudinal direction of the decorative sheet refers to the winding direction of the raw material roll of the decorative sheet (MD direction of the manufacturing apparatus), and the transverse direction of the decorative sheet refers to the width direction of the raw material roll of the decorative sheet (TD direction of the manufacturing apparatus).

[0251] Evaluation criteria

[0252] ++: No whitening appeared at all

[0253] +: Although there was some whitening, it was not obvious

[0254] -: Whitening and obvious

[0255] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0256] [Table 1]

[0257]

[0258] From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that: since the peak height ratios of A to B in Examples 1 and 2 were 221 and 116, and there were appropriate amounts of ester bonds, the surface protective layer had moderate hardness, excellent evaluation in scratch resistance, pencil hardness, and bending whitening, and these properties were excellent at the same time. Moreover, since the peak height ratios of B to C in Examples 1 and 2 were 1723 and 5057, and there were appropriate amounts of urethane bonds, the inventors believe that as Figure 6 shown, ester bonds and hydrogen bonds were formed in the surface protective layer, the adhesion reached the ++ rating, and since hydrolysis was inhibited, the adhesion after the environmental test reached the ++ rating.

[0259] In addition, based on the results in Table 1, it can be seen that: compared with the surface protective layers of Examples 1 and 2, the surface protective layer of Example 3 was a relatively soft surface protective layer. That is, since the peak height ratio of A to B in it increased relative to Examples 1 and 2 and there were fewer ester bonds, the surface protective layer was softer, and the scratch resistance and pencil hardness were slightly inferior to those of Examples 1 and 2, but the bending whitening was further inhibited. In addition, in Example 3, since the peak height ratio of B to C in it increased relative to Examples 1 and 2 and there were fewer urethane bonds, the adhesion was slightly inferior to that of Examples 1 and 2, and it was more prone to hydrolysis, so the adhesion after the environmental test was slightly inferior.

[0260] Moreover, it can be seen that in Table 1, compared with the surface protective layers of Examples 1 and 2, the surface protective layer of Example 4 becomes a relatively harder and more brittle surface protective layer. That is, since the peak height ratio of A to B is smaller than that of Examples 1 and 2 and there are more ester bonds, the surface protective layer is harder, with a pencil hardness rating of H, but the bending whitening rating is +. In addition, in Example 4, since the peak height ratio of B to C is smaller than that of Examples 1 and 2 and there are more urethane bonds, as Figure 6 shown, ester bonds and hydrogen bonds are formed in the surface protective layer, the adhesion reaches a ++ rating, and due to the inhibition of hydrolysis, the adhesion after environmental testing reaches a ++ rating.

[0261] Example 5

[0262] Except that 3 parts by mass of a phosphoric acid-based glass silver carrier compound (PG-711 manufactured by Koa Glass Co., Ltd.), which is an antiviral agent, was added to 100 parts by mass of the radiation-curable resin for forming the surface protective layer, the same procedures as in Example 1 were carried out to produce a decorative sheet and a decorative board. It should be noted that the peak height ratio of A to B and the peak height ratio of B to C in the surface protective layer are the same as those in Example 1.

[0263] The following evaluations were carried out using the decorative sheets prepared according to Example 1 and Example 5.

[0264] [Antiviral performance]

[0265] [Evaluation method]

[0266] According to the method described in the antiviral test method (ISO21702), the antiviral performance of the decorative sheets prepared according to Example 1 and Example 5 was tested, the antiviral activity value against influenza virus was calculated, and the evaluation was carried out according to the following evaluation criteria. The results are shown in Table 2. It should be noted that when the rating is +, it is evaluated that there will be no problems in actual use. In addition, the antiviral agent (parts by mass) in Table 2 refers to the amount of the antiviral agent (parts by mass) relative to 100 parts by mass of the radiation-curable resin.

[0267] [Evaluation criteria]

[0268] +: The antiviral activity value is 2.0 or more

[0269] -: The antiviral activity value is less than 2.0

[0270] The results are shown in Table 2.

[0271] [Table 2]

[0272]

[0273] Example 6

[0274] Except that the following resin composition was heated, melt-extruded, and laminated as a transparent polypropylene resin (transparent random polypropylene resin) to form a 80-μm transparent resin layer, the same procedures as in Example 1 were carried out to prepare a decorative sheet and a decorative board. It should be noted that the peak height ratios of surface protective layers A to B and B to C were the same as those in Example 1.

[0275] (Resin composition)

[0276] Transparent polypropylene resin: 100 parts by mass

[0277] Metal salt phosphonate flame retardant (product name: Pekoflam STC (manufactured by Archroma): aluminum phosphonate): 10 parts by mass.

[0278] The following evaluations were carried out using the decorative sheets prepared in Examples 1 and 6.

[0279] [Flammability evaluation]

[0280] The decorative boards prepared in Example 1 and Example 6 were cut into a size of 9 cm × 30 cm as test pieces. As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a metal rectangular placing table 103 was placed on the placing table 102 of a commercially available household heater 101 (ZAIGLE handsome SJ-100 (trade name)), and the test piece 105 was placed in a metal frame 104 provided on the placing table. The difficulty of fire spread was tested under the conditions of a heating angle of 45° and a heater power dial of 4. Specifically, the test piece was preheated with the above household heater for 2 minutes, and then as Figure 7 shown, the end 106 on the heater side in the length direction of the test piece was heated with a lighter 107 for 1 minute and ignited, and the fire spread along the length direction of the test piece 105 as Figure 8 shown. Then, the state of fire spread was observed with the naked eye, and the burning distance (L1) and burning duration were evaluated as follows. Thus, the horizontal combustion performance (difficulty of fire spread) was evaluated.

[0281] (Burning distance (L1))

[0282] The fire spread distance after the flame of the lighter was removed from the test piece after ignition was measured as the fire spread distance (L1), and the evaluation was carried out according to the following evaluation criteria. It should be noted that when the rating is + or above, it is evaluated that there will be no problem in actual use.

[0283] ++: L1 is less than 5 cm

[0284] + : L1 is more than 5 cm and less than 10 cm

[0285] - : L1 is 10 cm or more (burning duration)

[0286] The burning duration from the start of burning to self - extinction after removing the flame of the igniter after igniting the test piece was measured and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. It should be noted that when the rating is + or above, it is evaluated that there will be no problem in actual use.
