Background Art

[0002] The paint described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-287031 is applied to exterior members of mobile objects such as automobiles. By coating the exterior members with the paint, the mobile object exhibits an excellent appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] During the coating process, volatile organic compounds contained in the coating and carbon dioxide indirectly generated by the energy consumption of the drying process are released. When the exterior components of large mobile bodies such as automobiles are coated with coatings, a large amount of volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide are generated. In recent years, concern for the environment has been increasing. In order to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide generated, studies have been conducted on imparting patterns to the exterior components of mobile bodies, etc., using decorative films having decorative laminates. In order to impart patterns to the exterior components of mobile bodies, etc., using decorative films instead of coating with coatings, it is required that the pattern exhibited by the decorative laminate be close to the pattern of coating with coatings. The purpose of the present disclosure is to make the pattern exhibited by the decorative laminate close to the pattern of coating with coatings.

[0169] An embodiment of the present disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings accompanying this specification, the scale and aspect ratios of the actual objects may be appropriately altered or exaggerated for ease of illustration and understanding. Components shown in some drawings may be omitted from other drawings.

[0170] In this specification, terms such as "parallel", "orthogonal", "same", etc., lengths, angle values, etc. that determine shapes, geometric conditions and their degrees are not limited to strict meanings and can be interpreted as including a range of degrees that can expect the same function.

[0171] In this specification, when a plurality of upper limit value candidates and a plurality of lower limit value candidates are listed for a parameter, the parameter may be a numerical range formed by combining any one upper limit value candidate and any one lower limit value candidate.

[0172] Figure 1 FIG shows a moving body 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The moving body 1 is a movable device or equipment. Figure 1In the example shown, the mobile object 1 is a car. The mobile object 1 may be a motorcycle, bicycle, tricycle, tram, airplane, ship, snowmobile, industrial robot, drone, etc. The car may be a truck, bus, taxi, ambulance, fire truck, police vehicle, construction vehicle, etc.

[0173] The moving body 1 has a decorative molded article 10. Figure 1 In the illustrated example, an automobile includes a decorative molded article 10 as a portion of an exterior member. Examples of such portions of an automobile's exterior member include at least one of a roof, hood, fenders, bumpers, rearview mirrors, doors, pillars, door sill moldings, and a trunk lid. In the illustrated example, the automobile includes the decorative molded article 10 as the roof 5. A mobile object 1 may include multiple decorative molded articles 10.

[0174] The surface of the decorative molded article 10 may include a flat portion. The surface of the decorative molded article 10 may also include a curved portion. Figure 2 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the decorative molding 10. Figure 2 In the figure, the decorative molded article 10 is shown as a flat piece as a whole for easy understanding.

[0175] like Figure 2 As shown, the decorative molded article 10 includes a molding portion 11 and a decorative film 20. The decorative film 20 includes a bonding layer 21 and a decorative laminate 30. The decorative laminate 30 includes a first surface 30A and a second surface 30B. The decorative laminate 30 is in the form of a sheet. The first surface 30A and the second surface 30B are the main surfaces of the decorative laminate 30. The second surface 30B is the surface on the opposite side of the first surface 30A. The bonding layer 21 is provided on the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. In the example shown in the figure, the molding portion 11 is bonded to the decorative film 20 via the bonding layer 21. In the decorative molding 10, the bonding layer 21 can be omitted. The presence or absence of the bonding layer 21 can be appropriately selected by combining the molding construction method, the material of the molding portion 11, and the material of the decorative laminate 30. The molding portion 11 is arranged closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30 constitutes the surface of the decorative film 20 and the decorative molded article 10 .

[0176] The molded portion 11 is the main body of the exterior component. The molded portion 11 is the decorated component that is decorated with the decorative film 20. The molded portion 11 takes the shape of at least a portion of the exterior component of the mobile body 1. For example, the molded portion 11 takes the shape of the roof of an automobile. The molded portion 11 is made, for example, by molding a thermoplastic material. Molding can give the molded portion 11 a desired shape. The material of the molded portion 11 is, for example, metal, glass, or resin. Examples of the resin include acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polycarbonate resin, polypropylene resin, and fiber-reinforced plastic.

[0177] When the molding portion 11 is provided on the decorative film 20 by insert molding (also known as film insert molding) or in-mold molding, the material of the molding portion 11 is, for example, resin. When the molding portion 11 is provided on the decorative film 20 by TOM (Three Dimension Overlay Method) molding, the material of the molding portion 11 is, for example, metal, glass, or resin. When the molding portion 11 is provided on the decorative film 20 by lamination, the material of the molding portion 11 is, for example, metal, glass, or resin.

[0178] When the material of the forming portion 11 is metal, Figure 2A As shown, the decorative molded article 10 may further include an electrodeposition coating film 13 formed between the molded portion 11 and the decorative film 20 as a primer. In this case, the decorative film 20 may replace the intermediate coating and top coating in the conventional coating. In addition, when the molded portion 11 is made of metal, as shown in FIG. Figure 2B As shown, the decorative molded article 10 may further include an anti-rust coating 15 formed on the surface of the molded portion 11 to prevent rust. The anti-rust coating 15 may be, for example, a zinc alloy coating or an iron-nickel alloy coating. If the molded portion 11 is made of metal, the molded portion 11 may be formed by applying a decorative film 20 to a formed metal sheet. Alternatively, if the molded portion 11 is made of metal, the molded portion 11 may be formed by applying the decorative film 20 to a metal sheet to form a laminated metal sheet, and then forming the laminated metal sheet.

[0179] The bonding layer 21 bonds the decorative film 20 to the molding unit 11. The bonding layer 21 is disposed on the surface of the decorative film 20. The bonding layer 21 can be a heat seal layer or an adhesive layer. When the molding unit 11 is inserted into the decorative film 20, the bonding layer 21 is preferably a heat seal layer. When the molding unit 11 is inserted into the decorative film 20, or when the decorative film 20 is bonded to the molding unit 11, the bonding layer 21 is preferably an adhesive layer.

[0180] The heat seal layer develops adhesive properties when heated, allowing it to bond to other components. The heat seal layer exhibits appropriate adhesive properties and has a thickness that does not make the decorative film 20 excessively thick. The thickness of the heat seal layer can be at least 0.2 μm and can be at most 20 μm. Materials for the heat seal layer include, for example, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, acrylic resin, polyester resin, and urethane resin.

[0181] The adhesive layer exhibits adhesive properties and is bonded to other components by applying pressure. The adhesive layer exhibits appropriate adhesive properties and has a thickness that does not make the decorative film 20 too thick. The thickness of the adhesive layer can be greater than 5 μm and can be less than 300 μm. The material of the adhesive layer is, for example, an adhesive such as acrylic resin, urethane resin, silicone resin, rubber, etc. In order to prevent the decorative film 20 from being undesirably bonded to other components, before the decorative film 20 is bonded to the molding portion 11, the adhesive layer can be covered with a separator (not shown) that is provided in a removable manner.

[0182] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the decorative film 20 before being joined to the molding portion 11. Figure 3 In the example shown, the decorative film 20 includes a protective film 23. The protective film 23 is provided on the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The protective film 23 protects the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. More specifically, the protective film 23 protects a surface layer 33, described later, disposed on the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The protective film 23 can be peeled from the decorative laminate 30. The protective film 23 is in the form of a thin film. The thickness of the protective film 23 can be greater than 10 μm and can be less than 100 μm. The material of the protective film 23 can be, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, or polyethylene.

[0183] The decorative laminate 30 displays a pattern. The decorative molded article 1 including the decorative laminate 30 displays an excellent pattern. The mobile object 1 including the decorative molded article 10 presents an excellent appearance. The decorative laminate 30 can display patterns such as colors and geometric patterns. The decorative laminate 30 can display a pattern with a metallic or leather-like texture. The decorative laminate 30 can display a pattern with a glossy or matte finish. The image clarity of the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30 can be 60 or higher, or 95 or lower. In the case where the decorative laminate 30 displays a glossy pattern such as a metallic or matte finish, the image clarity can be measured by measuring the "Distinctness of Image (DOI)" value using an orange peel meter device (manufactured by BYK Japan, trade name: Orange Peel Dual AW-4840). By making the decorative laminate 30 display a pattern with such image clarity, the mobile object 1 such as an automobile including the decorative laminate 30 can display a pattern with a metallic or non-metallic finish (also known as a single-color finish).

[0184] Hereinafter, a plurality of examples of the decorative laminate 30 will be described. The same reference numerals are used for corresponding parts in each example, and when the description is repeated, the description may be omitted.

[0185] Figure 4 2 is a cross-sectional view of a decorative laminate 30 according to a first example. Figure 4 In the illustrated example, the decorative laminate 30 includes a surface layer 33 , a base material layer 31 , and a design layer 40 in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B. Figure 5 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a decorative laminate 30 according to a second example. Figure 5 In the illustrated example, the decorative laminate 30 includes a surface layer 33 , a pattern layer 40 , and a base material layer 31 in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B.

[0186] The base layer 31 supports the other layers included in the decorative laminate 30, particularly the pattern layer 40. The base layer 31 is film-shaped. The base layer 31 is transparent. The thickness of the base layer 31 can be 50 μm or greater, or 75 μm or greater. The thickness of the base layer 31 can be 150 μm or less, or 125 μm or less.

[0187] The material of the substrate layer 31 is, for example, a thermoplastic resin. Examples of the material of the substrate layer 31 include (meth)acrylic resins, polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polyesters (e.g., polyethylene naphthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, etc.), polyamides, polycarbonates, cellulose resins, urethane resins (e.g., thermoplastic polyurethane, etc.), fluororesins (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), perfluoroalkoxyalkane (PFA), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer (FEP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), etc.), ABS resins, polycarbonate resins, and cellulose resins. From the perspective of transparency, the material of the substrate layer 31 is preferably a (meth)acrylic resin. Examples of the (meth)acrylic resin include homopolymers or copolymers of (meth)acrylates, and copolymers of (meth)acrylates and comonomers. Examples of (meth)acrylates include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, dimethylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate, and glycidyl (meth)acrylate. Examples of comonomers include vinyl acetate, (meth)acrylonitrile, (meth)acrylic acid amide, styrene, (meth)acrylic acid, itaconic acid, and maleic anhydride. (Meth)acrylic resins may be fluorine-modified. The material of the substrate layer 31 may be a single layer mixed with two or more of the above resins, or may be composed of multiple layers. The substrate layer 31 composed of multiple layers may be produced, for example, by coextrusion.

[0188] The base layer 31 may contain a colorant. The colorant contained in the base layer 31 may be chromatic or achromatic. The base layer 31 may be colored to a desired color using the colorant. The base layer 31 is transparent. The color exhibited by the base layer 31 may be the same as the color exhibited by the backing layer 37 in the decorative laminate 30 of the third example described below. The colorant may have the same composition as the colorant contained in the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43 of the pattern layer 40 described below.

[0189] As used herein, "transparent" refers to a degree of transparency sufficient to allow viewing through the member from one side to the other, e.g., a visible light transmittance of 30% or greater, more preferably 70% or greater. As used herein, "colored transparent" refers to a material that intentionally reduces the transmittance of light within a specific wavelength range, but exhibits increased transmittance for visible light overall, resulting in transparency.

[0190] In this specification, visible light transmittance is determined as the average value of the total light transmittance at each wavelength, measured at 1 nm intervals within the measurement wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm using a spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation "UV-3600i Plus," JIS K0115 standard). The incident angle for measuring visible light transmittance is assumed to be 0°, particularly when the transmission direction is not specified. The incident angle is the angle between the direction of incident light and the normal to the incident surface, and is a value less than 90°.

[0191] The surface layer 33 protects the other layers of the decorative laminate 30. The surface layer 33 has various functions such as wear resistance, weather resistance, and chemical resistance. The surface layer 33 has, for example, the wear resistance, weather resistance, and chemical resistance required for exterior parts of automobiles, etc., as well as the elongation required for molding. The surface layer 33 is arranged closer to the first surface 30A than the second surface 30B relative to the base layer 31. The surface layer 33 becomes the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The surface layer 33 becomes the surface of the decorative molded article 10. The surface layer 33 is in the form of a film. The surface layer 33 is transparent. The thickness of the surface layer 33 can be greater than 1 μm, or can be greater than 2 μm. The thickness of the surface layer 33 can be less than 20 μm, or can be less than 10 μm. The material of the surface layer 33 is a cured product of a curable resin composition. More specifically, the material of the surface layer 33 is a cured product of an ionizing radiation curable resin composition. In each example of the decorative laminate 30 , the surface layer 33 can have any configuration.

[0192] Examples of the curable component contained in the curable resin composition include thermosetting components and active energy ray-curable components. Active energy ray-curable components are preferred from the viewpoints of weather resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.

[0193] Examples of the thermosetting component include thermosetting resins such as epoxy resin, melamine resin, guanamine resin, urea resin, unsaturated polyester, thermosetting urethane resin, thermosetting (meth)acrylic resin, and aminoalkyd resin.

[0194] Active energy ray-curable components are components that are cured by exposure to active energy rays, such as electromagnetic waves such as ultraviolet rays (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays; and charged particle rays such as electron beams (EB), alpha rays, and ion beams.

[0195] The active energy ray curable component is, for example, a compound having at least one functional group selected from vinyl, allyl and (meth)acryloyl groups. The active energy ray curable component is, for example, an oligomer or polymer such as urethane (meth)acrylate, epoxy (meth)acrylate, polyester (meth)acrylate and polyether (meth)acrylate; a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer such as trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate and tris(2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl)isocyanurate; and modified bodies thereof. The active energy ray curable component can be a mono(meth)acrylate having one (meth)acryloyl group in the molecule.

[0196] The curable resin composition may contain both an active energy ray-curable component and a photopolymerization initiator.

[0197] The surface layer 33 may contain a weathering agent. This can improve the weathering resistance of the surface layer. Examples of weathering agents include ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, and hindered amine light stabilizers. The content of the weathering agent in the surface layer 33 may be 0.1% by mass or greater. The content of the weathering agent in the surface layer 33 may be 10% by mass or less, and may be 5% by mass or less.

[0198] When the decorative film 20 includes a protective film 23, the surface layer 33 is protected by the protective film 23. While protected by the protective film 23, the curable resin composition serving as the material of the surface layer 33 may be uncured or semi-cured. The protective film 23 may be peeled off from the surface layer 33 before or after the curable resin composition is cured.

[0199] The pattern layer 40 forms the pattern shown in the decorative laminate 30. The pattern layer 40 is supported by the base material layer 31. The pattern layer 40 includes at least one of a glossy layer 41 and a colored layer 43. The pattern layer 40 may include the glossy layer 41, a second glossy layer 42, a colored layer 43, and a transparent layer 45.

[0200] Hereinafter, a plurality of examples of the pattern layer 40 will be described. The same reference numerals are used for corresponding parts in each example, and when the description is repeated, the description may be omitted.

[0201] Figure 6 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the first example is shown. Figure 6 In the example shown, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41. In the example shown, the pattern layer 40 is composed of the glossy layer 41 alone.

[0202] The glossy layer 41 reflects light in a glossy manner. * a * b * In the color system, the color of the glossy layer 41 is SCE L * The value of may be 10 or more, 25 or more, 35 or more, 60 or less, 50 or less, or 48 or less. The SCE L of the color presented by the glossy layer 41 * The value of can be greater than 20, greater than 30, greater than 40, less than 90, less than 80, or less than 65.

[0203] The color L of the glossy layer 41 is * a * b * SCE L in the color system * The value of SCI L * The following measurement can be performed using a spectrophotometer ("CM-700d" manufactured by Konica Minolta) under the conditions of a measurement diameter of 8 mm and a viewing angle of 10 degrees. * The SCE L of the component can be determined by removing the specular reflection from the total reflected light of the component being measured. *的 The SCIL of the component can be determined based on the total reflected light in the component being measured. * The value of .

[0204] The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b. The glossy material 41b is encapsulated in the binder resin 41a. The content of the glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 can be 3% by mass or greater, and can be 75% by mass or less. The visible light transmittance of the glossy layer 41 can be 0.5% or greater, and can be 1% or greater. The visible light transmittance of the glossy layer 41 can be 95% or less, and can be 90% or less. The thickness of the glossy layer 41 can be 2 μm or greater, 3 μm or greater, and can be 100 μm or less.

[0205] The binder resin 41a is, for example, a urethane resin, an acrylic polyol resin, an acrylic resin, an ester resin, an amide resin, a butyral resin, a styrene resin, a urethane-acrylic acid copolymer, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer resin, a propylene chloride resin, a nitrocellulose resin, a cellulose acetate resin, or the like.

[0206] The glossy material 41b reflects light. Examples of the glossy material 41b include aluminum flakes, mica, and pearlescent pigments. The glossy material 41b is oriented along the surface of the glossy layer 41. The average particle size of the glossy material 41b is within a range where the glossy layer 41 adequately reflects light. If the average particle size of the glossy material 41b is too small, the glossy layer 41 will not adequately reflect light. If the average particle size of the glossy material 41b is too large, the glossy material 41b will not be oriented along the surface of the glossy layer 41, causing diffuse reflection of light from the glossy layer 41, making it difficult for the glossy layer 41 to exhibit a glossy appearance. The thickness of the glossy material 41b can be 20 nm or greater, 1 μm or less, 700 nm or less, 500 nm or less, or 300 nm or less. The average particle size of the glossy material 41b can be 5 μm or greater, 10 μm or greater, 25 μm or less, or 15 μm or less.

[0207] The average particle size of the glossy material 41b is determined as follows. The glossy layer 41 is magnified using a microscope, and each piece of glossy material 41b is observed. The particle size of each piece of glossy material 41b observed is measured. If the glossy material 41b has a minor axis diameter and a major axis diameter, the average of these minor axis diameters is used as the particle size of the glossy material 41b. If the glossy material 41b is aggregated, the particle size of the glossy material 41b is the diameter of the inscribed circle of the aggregated portion. The particle sizes of 100 pieces of glossy material 41b are measured, and the average of these is used as the average particle size of the glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41.

[0208] For example, if the decorative laminate 30 stretches during molding, the planar arrangement of the glossy material 41b within the glossy layer 41 may change before and after the stretch. To account for this, the glossy material 41b within the glossy layer 41 can be arranged so that it overlaps in the stacking direction in the cross-sectional view. Specifically, the glossy material 41b within the glossy layer 41 can be arranged so that it at least partially overlaps with other glossy materials 41b located above and below it in the stacking direction. The glossy material 41b within the glossy layer 41 can overlap with one or more other glossy materials 41b in the stacking direction, one or more other glossy materials 41b in the stacking direction, or three or more other glossy materials 41b in the stacking direction.

[0209] Figure 7 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the second example is shown. Figure 7 In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41. In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 consists solely of the glossy layer 41. The glossy layer 41 reflects light with a glossy finish and exhibits color. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a, a glossy material 41b, and a colorant 41c. The glossy material 41b and the colorant 41c are encapsulated within the binder resin 41a.

[0210] The colorant 41c colors the glossy layer 41 to a desired color. The color of the colorant 41c can be chromatic or achromatic. The colorant 41c is a dye or a pigment. The colorant 41c can be a combination of a dye and a pigment. The colorant 41c is a material different from the glossy material 41b. For example, aluminum flakes, mica, and pearlescent pigments are not used as the colorant 41c. Considering weather resistance, etc., the colorant 41c is preferably a pigment. The pigment can be a coloring pigment or a fluorescent pigment. For example, the coloring pigment can be quinacridones such as quinacridone red, azo pigments such as pigment red, phthalocyanines such as phthalocyanine blue and phthalocyanine green, Red, etc. Colorant 41c may be an organic pigment such as titanium dioxide or carbon black. If the average particle size of colorant 41c is too large, it may interfere with the reflection of light from glossy material 41b. If the average particle size of colorant 41c is too small, it may aggregate excessively. The average particle size of colorant 41c may be greater than 5 nm or less than 1500 nm. The average particle size of colorant 41c can be determined using the same method as the average particle size of glossy material 41b.

[0211] Figure 8 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the third example is shown. Figure 8In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41 and a colored layer 43. In the pattern layer 40, the glossy layer 41 can be positioned closer to the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30 than the colored layer 43, and the colored layer 43 can be positioned closer to the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30 than the glossy layer 41. Similar to the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the first example, the glossy layer 41 reflects light while exhibiting a glossy appearance. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b.

[0212] The colored layer 43 exhibits color. The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c. The colorant 43c is encapsulated in the binder resin 43a. The binder resin 43a of the colored layer 43 has the same structure as the binder resin 41a of the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the first example. The color of the colorant 43c can be chromatic or achromatic. The colorant 43c of the colored layer 43 can have the same structure as the colorant 41c of the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the second example. The visible light transmittance of the colored layer 43 can be 5% or more and 90% or less. The thickness of the colored layer 43 can be 2 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

[0213] Figure 9 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the fourth example is shown. Figure 9 In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41 and a colored layer 43. In the pattern layer 40, the glossy layer 41 can be positioned closer to the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30 than the colored layer 43, while the colored layer 43 can be positioned closer to the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30 than the glossy layer 41. Similar to the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the second example, the glossy layer 41 reflects light glossily and displays color. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a, a glossy material 41b, and a colorant 41c. Similar to the colorant 43 in the pattern layer 40 of the third example, the colored layer 43 displays color. The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c.

[0214] Figure 10 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the fifth example is shown. Figure 10In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41, a second glossy layer 42, and a colored layer 43. The second glossy layer 42 overlaps the glossy layer 41. In the pattern layer 40, the second glossy layer 42 is positioned closer to the first surface 30A than the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30, relative to the glossy layer 41. In the pattern layer 40, the colored layer 43, the second glossy layer 42, and the glossy layer 41 are arranged in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B. The order of the colored layer 43, the second glossy layer 42, and the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 is not limited to the illustrated example. In the pattern layer 40, the second glossy layer 42, the colored layer 43, and the glossy layer 41 are arranged in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B. Similar to the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the first example, the glossy layer 41 reflects light while exhibiting a glossy appearance. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b. The colored layer 43 displays a color similar to the colored layer 43 in the pattern layer 40 of the third example. The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c.

[0215] The second glossy layer 42 can have the same structure as the glossy layer 41. The second glossy layer 42 reflects light while exhibiting a gloss. The second glossy layer 42 includes a binder resin 42a and a glossy material 42b. The glossy material 42b is encapsulated in the binder resin 42a. The binder resin 42a of the second glossy layer 42 can have the same structure as the binder resin 41a of the glossy layer 41 in the patterned layer 40 of the first example. The glossy material 42b of the second glossy layer 42 can have the same structure as the glossy material 41b of the glossy layer 41 in the patterned layer 40 of the first example. The content of the glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 differs from the content of the glossy material 42b in the second glossy layer 42. In this example, the content of the glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 is higher than the content of the glossy material 42b in the second glossy layer 42. The content of the glossy material refers to the ratio of the area occupied by the glossy material per unit area in the cross-section of the layer containing the glossy material. The second glossy layer 42 can display color. The second glossy layer 42 can contain a colorant. The colorant contained in the second glossy layer 42 can have the same composition as the colorant 41c of the glossy layer 41 in the patterned layer 40 of the second example. The content of the colorant in the second glossy layer 42 can be the same as or different from the content of the colorant 41c in the glossy layer 41. The content of the colorant in the second glossy layer 42 can be lower or higher than the content of the colorant 41c in the glossy layer 41.

[0216] When layers containing a glossy material, such as the glossy layer 41 and the second glossy layer 42, are stacked, the glossy material content in the lower layer may be lower, equal, or higher than that in the upper layer. The glossy material content in the upper layer may be 5% or greater, or 1000% or less of that in the lower layer. The ratio of the glossy material content in the upper layer to the glossy material content in the lower layer is set to minimize changes in the light reflectance of the stacked layers containing the glossy material when the decorative laminate 30 is formed and stretched. When each of the layers containing the glossy material contains a colorant, the colorant content in the lower layer may be lower, equal, or higher than that in the upper layer. The upper layer refers to the layer of the stacked layers closest to the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The lower layer refers to the layer of the stacked layers closest to the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. The glossy material content in the stacked layers containing the glossy material is compared by comparing the ratio of the area occupied by the glossy material per unit area in the cross-section of the layer.

[0217] In the glossy layer 41 of each example, the content of the glossy material on the side closer to the second surface 30B may be lower, the same, or higher than the content of the glossy material on the side closer to the first surface 30A. When the glossy layer 41 of each example includes a colorant, the content of the colorant on the side closer to the second surface 30B may be lower, the same, or higher than the content of the colorant on the side closer to the first surface 30A.

[0218] The glossy layer 41 and the second glossy layer 42 may be overlapped so as to be in direct contact with each other. In this case, the glossy layer 41 and the second glossy layer 42 are easily adhered to each other by their respective binder resins.

[0219] Figure 11 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the sixth example is shown. Figure 11 In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41, a colored layer 43, and a transparent layer 45. The transparent layer 45 is disposed between the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43. Similar to the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 of the first example, the glossy layer 41 reflects light while exhibiting a glossy appearance. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b. Similar to the colored layer 43 in the pattern layer 40 of the third example, the colored layer 43 displays color. The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c.

[0220] The transparent layer 45 separates the glossy layer 41 from the colored layer 43. The transparent layer 45 contains a binder resin 45a. The binder resin 45a of the transparent layer 45 can have the same composition as the binder resin 41a of the glossy layer 41 in the patterned layer 40 of the first example. The transparent layer 45 has a thickness corresponding to the distance between the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43. The thickness of the transparent layer 45 can be 10 μm or more, or 25 μm or more. The thickness of the transparent layer 45 can be 300 μm or less, or 200 μm or less.

Figure 12 In the example shown, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41, a second glossy layer 42, a colored layer 43, and a transparent layer 45. The second glossy layer 42 overlaps the glossy layer 41. In the pattern layer 40, the second glossy layer 42 is positioned closer to the first surface 30A than to the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30, relative to the glossy layer 41. In the pattern layer 40, the colored layer 43, the transparent layer 45, the second glossy layer 42, and the glossy layer 41 are arranged in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B. The order of the colored layer 43, the transparent layer 45, the second glossy layer 42, and the glossy layer 41 in the pattern layer 40 is not limited to the example shown. The second glossy layer 42, the transparent layer 45, the colored layer 43, and the glossy layer 41 may be arranged in this order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B. The glossy layer 41, like the glossy layer 41 in the patterned layer 40 of the first example, reflects light while appearing glossy. The glossy layer 41 includes a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b. The second glossy layer 42, like the second glossy layer 42 in the patterned layer 40 of the fifth example, reflects light while appearing glossy.

The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c. The transparent layer 45, like the transparent layer 45 in the patterned layer 40 of the sixth example, separates the glossy layer 41 from the colored layer 43. The transparent layer 45 includes a binder resin 45a.

[0222] Figure 13 , a cross-sectional view of the pattern layer 40 of the eighth example is shown. Figure 13 In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 includes a colored layer 43. In the illustrated example, the pattern layer 40 consists solely of the colored layer 43. The colored layer 43 displays the same color as the colored layer 43 in the pattern layer 40 of the third example. The colored layer 43 includes a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c. The pattern layer 40 of the eighth example forms a pattern in, for example, piano black.

[0223] The pattern layer 40 is not limited to the above examples. For example, the pattern layer 40 may be a combination of the above examples. The pattern layer 40 may include other layers for forming a pattern. For example, the pattern layer 40 may further include a third glossy layer comprising a glossy material encapsulated in a binder resin.

[0224] Figure 14 , a cross-sectional view of a decorative laminate 30 according to a third example is shown. Figure 14 In the example shown, the decorative laminate 3 includes, in order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a base layer 31, a pattern layer 40, an adhesive layer 38, and a cushion layer 37. Without being limited to the example shown, the cushion layer 37 and / or the adhesive layer 38 may be omitted.

[0225] The cushioning layer 37 maintains the shape of the decorative laminate 30 when the decorative film 20 having the decorative laminate 30 is molded. The cushioning layer 37 is arranged closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A relative to the pattern layer 40. In the example shown in the figure, the cushioning layer 37 constitutes the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. Like the buffer layer 39 described later, the cushioning layer 37 can mitigate the impact on other layers of the decorative laminate 30 and the molded portion 11 when the decorative laminate 30 is subjected to external impact due to flying stones, etc. The cushioning layer 37 is in the form of a sheet. The thickness of the cushioning layer 37 can be greater than 50 μm and can be less than 500 μm. The material of the cushioning layer 37 is, for example, a thermoplastic resin. Specifically, the material of the cushioning layer 37 is, for example, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyvinyl chloride.

[0226] The backing layer 37 may be colored. The backing layer 37 may contain a colorant. The colorant contained in the backing layer 37 may be chromatic or achromatic. The colorant allows the backing layer 37 to be colored to a desired color. The color of the backing layer 37 is preferably set to correspond to the color exhibited by the design layer 40. The colorant contained in the backing layer 37 may have the same composition as the colorant contained in the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43 of the design layer 40 described above.

[0227] The color presented by the backing layer 37 can be a color similar to the color presented by the pattern layer 40. The backing layer 37 can also be a color similar to the color presented by the pattern layer 40. Similar colors refer to colors with the same hue, and also include colors with different brightness or chroma. Similar colors refer to colors within a continuous hue circle, with an angle of less than 30 degrees from the center of the hue circle, and also include colors with different brightness and chroma. For example, if the color presented by the pattern layer 40 is red, a brown backing layer 37 can be used.

[0228] In L * a * b* In the color system, the color L of the backing layer 37 is * The value of L * 1 and the color L presented by the pattern layer 40 * The value of L * The difference between L and L can be less than 10, less than 8, less than 6, or less than 4. * a * b * In the color system, the color of the backing layer 37 is represented by a * The value of a * 1 and b * The value of b * 1. The color of the pattern layer 40 is * The value of a * 2 and b * The value of b * 2, ((a * 1-a * 2) 2 +(b * 1-b * 2) 2 ) 1 / 2 The value of L can be less than 20, less than 17, less than 15, less than 13, or less than 11. The color presented by the liner layer 37 and the color presented by the pattern layer 40 are * a * b * L in the color system * The value of a * The value of b * The value of can be measured as follows using a spectrophotometer ("CM-700d" manufactured by Konica Minolta) under the conditions of a measurement diameter of Φ8 mm and a viewing angle of 10 degrees. * The L value of the component can be determined by irradiating the surface opposite to the surface with the black plate with light from a D65 light source. * The value of a * The value of b * The value of .

[0229] The adhesive layer 38 bonds the cushioning layer 37 to the other layers of the decorative laminate 30. In the illustrated example, the adhesive layer 38 bonds the cushioning layer 37 to the pattern layer 40. The adhesive layer 38 is disposed between the cushioning layer 37 and the pattern layer 40. Like the buffer layer 39 described later, the adhesive layer 38 can mitigate the impact on the other layers of the decorative laminate 30 and the molded portion 11 when the decorative laminate 30 is subjected to external impact due to flying stones or the like. The adhesive layer 38 is in the form of a film. The thickness of the adhesive layer 38 can be greater than 1 μm and can be less than 20 μm. The visible light transmittance of the adhesive layer 38 can be greater than 0%, greater than 50%, less than 100%, or less than 20%. The material of the adhesive layer 38 is, for example, thermoplastic resins such as acrylic resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, chlorinated polyolefin resin, and acid-modified polyolefin resin, curable resins such as two-component curing urethane resin and epoxy resin.

[0230] The adhesive layer 38 can be colored. The adhesive layer 38 can contain a colorant. The color of the colorant contained in the adhesive layer 38 can be chromatic or achromatic. The colorant can be used to color the adhesive layer 38 to a desired color. The color presented by the adhesive layer 38 is preferably set to correspond to the color presented by the pattern layer 40. The color setting can be the same as the color presented by the backing layer 37 in the decorative laminate 30 of the third example described above. The colorant contained in the adhesive layer 38 can have the same composition as the colorant contained in the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43 of the pattern layer 40 described above.

Figure 15 In the example shown, the decorative laminate 30 includes, in order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a base layer 31, a pattern layer 40, an adhesive layer 38, a masking layer 35, and a cushion layer 37. The cushion layer 37 and / or the adhesive layer 38 may be omitted.

[0232] The shielding layer 35 is shielded in such a manner that other components, such as the molding portion 11, provided on the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30 are not easily observed from the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The shielding layer 35 is provided closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A with respect to the pattern layer 40. In the illustrated example, the shielding layer 35 is arranged between the adhesive layer 38 and the backing layer 37. Not limited to the illustrated example, the shielding layer 35 may be arranged between the pattern layer 40 and the adhesive layer 38. The shielding layer 35 is in the form of a thin film. The thickness of the shielding layer 35 may be greater than 2 μm, may be greater than 10 μm, may be less than 100 μm, or may be less than 20 μm. The visible light transmittance of the shielding layer 35 is sufficiently reduced. Specifically, the visible light transmittance of the shielding layer 35 may be less than 20%.

[0233] The shielding layer 35 contains a colorant. The colorant contained in the shielding layer 35 can be chromatic or achromatic. The colorant allows the shielding layer 35 to be colored in a desired color. The color of the shielding layer 35 is preferably set to correspond to the color of the pattern layer 40. The color setting can be the same as the color of the cushion layer 37 in the decorative laminate 30 of the third example described above. The colorant contained in the shielding layer 35 can have the same composition as the colorant contained in the glossy layer 41 and the colored layer 43 of the pattern layer 40 described above.

[0234] Figure 16 , a cross-sectional view of a decorative laminate 30 according to a fifth example is shown. Figure 16 In the example shown, the decorative laminate 30 includes, in order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a base layer 31, a pattern layer 40, a reflective layer 36, an adhesive layer 38, and a cushion layer 37. The cushion layer 37 and / or the adhesive layer 38 may be omitted.

[0235] The reflective layer 36 reflects light in a manner that prevents other components, such as the molded portion 11, disposed on the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30 from being easily observed from the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30, and allows the design formed by the pattern layer 40 to be more clearly observed. The reflective layer 36 reflects light that is not reflected by the glossy layer 41 of the pattern layer 40 but is transmitted through it. The reflective layer 36 is positioned closer to the second surface 30B than to the first surface 30A relative to the pattern layer 40. In the illustrated example, the reflective layer 36 is positioned between the pattern layer 40 and the adhesive layer 38. Not limited to the illustrated example, the reflective layer 36 may be positioned between the adhesive layer 38 and the backing layer 37. The reflective layer 36 is in the form of a thin film. The thickness of the reflective layer 36 may be greater than 30 nm, greater than 2 μm, less than 20 μm, or less than 100 nm. The visible light transmittance of the reflective layer 36 may be greater than 0% or less than 20%. The material of the reflective layer 36 is, for example, a vapor-deposited film of aluminum, indium, or tin, or achromatic or silver ink.

[0236] Figure 17 , a cross-sectional view of a decorative laminate 30 according to a sixth example is shown. Figure 17 In the example shown, the decorative laminate 30 includes, in order from the first surface 30A toward the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a cushion layer 39, a base layer 31, a pattern layer 40, an adhesive layer 38, and a backing layer 37. The backing layer 37 and / or the adhesive layer 38 may be omitted.

[0237] The buffer layer 39 mitigates the impact on the other layers of the decorative laminate 30 and the molded portion 11 when the decorative laminate 30 is subjected to external impact, such as from flying stones. The buffer layer 39 is, for example, a layer containing a plasticizer to provide crack resistance. Examples of plasticizers include phthalic acid plasticizers, fatty acid plasticizers, phosphoric acid plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, polyethylene plasticizers, and epoxy plasticizers. Examples of phthalic acid plasticizers include phthalic acid diesters such as dioctyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dihexyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, diheptyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, and diisononyl phthalate. Examples of fatty acid plasticizers include aliphatic polybasic acid diesters such as dioctyl adipate, dioctyl azelate, and dioctyl sebacate; and citric acid triesters such as acetyl tributyl citrate, acetyl trioctyl citrate, and tributyl citrate. Buffer layer 39 is, for example, a layer comprising an elastomer and exhibiting chipping resistance. Examples of elastomers include styrene elastomers, polyester elastomers, urethane elastomers, olefin elastomers, and polyamide elastomers.

[0238] The buffer layer 39 is arranged closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A relative to the surface layer 33. In the example shown in the figure, the buffer layer 39 is arranged between the surface layer 33 and the base layer 31. Without being limited to the example shown in the figure, the buffer layer 39 can be arranged between the base layer 31 and the pattern layer 40, between the pattern layer 40 and the adhesive layer 38, or between the adhesive layer 38 and the cushioning layer 37. The cushioning layer 37 can have the function of the buffer layer 39. In other words, the cushioning layer 37 and the buffer layer 39 can be the same layer. The buffer layer 39 is in the form of a film. The thickness of the buffer layer 39 can be greater than 10 μm and can be less than 500 μm. The buffer layer 39 can include multiple layers. The material of the buffer layer 39 is, for example, a resin containing a polyester plasticizer such as adipic acid polyester, phthalic acid polyester, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane resin, polyester resin, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, or polyolefin resin. The amount of the plasticizer contained in the buffer layer 39 may be 1 part by mass or more and may be less than 40 parts by mass.

[0239] The decorative laminate 30 including the buffer layer 39 is not easy to damage the displayed pattern. Even if the decorative laminate 30 including the buffer layer 39 is subjected to a flying stone test, it can be confirmed that the pattern displayed by naked eye observation is basically not damaged. Even if the decorative laminate 30 including the buffer layer 39 is subjected to a flying stone test, the buffer layer 39 mitigates the impact and thus can suppress the peeling and cracking of the layers constituting the decorative film 20. Even if the decorative laminate 30 including the buffer layer 39 is subjected to a flying stone test, the buffer layer 39 mitigates the impact and thus can suppress the decorative film 20 including the decorative laminate 30 from peeling off from the forming portion 11. The flying stone test is performed using a gravel impact tester (Gravelometer) JA400 (manufactured by Suga Test Instruments) under the following conditions.

[0240] <Test conditions>

[0241] Shot blasting material: No. 7 crushed stone specified in JIS A5001 (road crushed stone)

[0242] Amount of shot blasting material: 50g

[0243] Distance: 35cm

[0244] Shot peening pressure: 0.39MPa

[0245] Shot peening angle: 90°

[0246] Test temperature: -20℃

[0247] When the cushioning layer 39 is disposed closer to the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30 than the pattern layer 40, the cushioning layer 39 may contain a colorant. The color of the cushioning layer 39 may be the same color as or similar to the color of the pattern layer 40.

[0248] The decorative laminate 30 is not limited to the above-mentioned examples. The decorative laminate 30 may be, for example, a combination of the decorative laminates 30 of the above-mentioned examples. For example, the decorative laminate 30 includes, in order from the first surface 30A to the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a pattern layer 40, a base layer 31, a buffer layer 39, a shielding layer 35, a reflective layer 36, a colored adhesive layer 38, and a colored backing layer 37. When the decorative laminate 30 includes the shielding layer 35 and the reflective layer 36, the reflective layer 36 is arranged closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A with respect to the shielding layer 35. The decorative laminate 30 may include other layers that perform desired functions. For example, the decorative laminate 30 includes, in order from the first surface 30A to the second surface 30B, a surface layer 33, a pattern layer 40, a base layer 31, a buffer layer 39, a reflective layer 36, a shielding layer 35, a colored adhesive layer 38, and a colored backing layer 37.

[0249] In the decorative laminate 30, the layer that mitigates the impact on the other layers of the decorative laminate 30 and the molded portion 11 when subjected to external impacts such as flying stones is sufficiently thick to adequately mitigate the external impact. In the decorative laminate 30, the ratio of the combined thickness of the adhesive layer 38, the cushioning layer 37, and the buffer layer 39 to the combined thickness of the surface layer 33, the base layer 31, and the pattern layer 40 can be 0.14 or greater and 19 or less. If the buffer layer 39 is omitted from the decorative laminate 30, the ratio of the combined thickness of the adhesive layer 38 and the cushioning layer 37 to the combined thickness of the surface layer 33, the base layer 31, and the pattern layer 40 can be 0.12 or greater and 9.6 or less. When the cushion layer 37 is omitted in the decorative laminate 30 , the ratio of the total thickness of the adhesive layer 38 and the buffer layer 39 to the total thickness of the surface layer 33 , the base layer 31 and the pattern layer 40 can be greater than 0.020 and less than 9.6.

[0250] The thickness of the decorative laminate 30 can be 60 μm or more, 100 μm or more, 1 mm or less, or 500 μm or less. By making the thickness of the decorative laminate 30 thin enough, the decorative laminate 30 can be wound into a roll. The decorative laminate 30 can be easily handled. By making the thickness of the decorative laminate 30 thin enough, the time required to heat the decorative laminate 30 to a temperature at which the decorative laminate 30 can be molded is shortened when the decorative laminate 30 is molded. It is easy to manufacture the decorative molded product 10. By making the thickness of the decorative laminate 30 thin enough, the cost of the decorative laminate 30 itself can also be reduced. By making the decorative laminate 30 thick enough, the decorative laminate 30 can maintain an appropriate shape even if the decorative laminate 30 is molded. By making the decorative laminate 30 thick enough, the decorative laminate 30 is not easily damaged by heat even if the decorative laminate 30 is heated to a temperature at which the decorative laminate 30 can be molded when the decorative laminate 30 is molded.

[0251] An example of a method for manufacturing the decorative laminate 30, the decorative film 20, and the decorative molded article 10 will be described. The method for manufacturing the decorative laminate 30 includes printing or coating the pattern layer 40 on the base layer 31 and forming the surface layer 33. The method for manufacturing the decorative film 20 includes applying the bonding layer 21 to the decorative laminate 30. The method for manufacturing the decorative molded article 10 includes vacuum forming the decorative film 20 or the decorative laminate 30 and forming the molded portion 11 on the decorative film 20 or the decorative laminate 30.

[0252] like Figure 18 As shown, a pattern layer 40 is provided on the base material layer 31. For the base material layer 31, each layer included in the pattern layer 40 is printed or coated in sequence. As an example, for Figure 8The process of applying the pattern layer 40 to the base layer 31 in the example shown will be described. A colored layer 43 comprising a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c is printed on the base layer 31. A glossy layer 41 comprising a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b is printed on the colored layer 43. The colored layer 43 and the glossy layer 41 can be applied using any printing method, such as offset printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, or screen printing. The printing method can be appropriately selected based on the colorant and glossy material contained in the colored layer 43 and the glossy layer 41. Because the glossy layer 41 is sufficiently thin and the average particle size of the glossy material 41b is sufficiently small, the glossy material 41b contained in the glossy layer 41 is oriented along the surface on which the glossy layer 41 is formed. Forming the glossy layer 41 by printing makes it easier to align the glossy material 41b along the main surface than by painting.

[0253] As Figure 18 In another example of providing a pattern layer 40 on the substrate layer 31, Figure 8 The process of applying the pattern layer 40 to the base layer 31 in the example shown will be described. A colored layer 43 comprising a binder resin 43a and a colorant 43c is applied to the base layer 31. A glossy layer 41 comprising a binder resin 41a and a glossy material 41b is applied to the colored layer 43. The colored layer 43 and the glossy layer 41 can be applied using any coating method, such as air spraying, ultrasonic spraying, or electrostatic spraying. The coating method can be appropriately selected based on the colorant and glossy material contained in the colored layer 43 and the glossy layer 41. Because the glossy layer 41 is sufficiently thin and the average particle size of the glossy material 41b is sufficiently small, the glossy material 41b contained in the glossy layer 41 is oriented along the surface on which the glossy layer 41 is formed. Forming the glossy layer 41 by coating allows the glossy material 41b to be oriented along the main surface, similar to coating with a paint.

[0254] The content of glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 can be determined based on the elongation of the decorative laminate 30 during the vacuum forming process of the decorative film 20 or the decorative laminate 30. For example, if the decorative laminate 30 is elongated 100% during the vacuum forming process of the decorative film 20 or the decorative laminate 30, the content of glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 of the pattern layer 40 in the decorative laminate 30 before vacuum forming can be at least twice the content of glossy material 41b that should be included in the glossy layer 41 of the decorative molded article 10. As a result, in a cross-sectional view, the glossy material 41b in the glossy layer 41 is arranged so as to overlap in the stacking direction.

[0255] When manufacturing the decorative laminate 30 including the shielding layer 35, the shielding layer 35 is printed so as to overlap with the pattern layer 40. The shielding layer 35 can be provided by any printing method such as offset printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, or screen printing.

[0256] When manufacturing the decorative laminate 30 including the reflective layer 36, the reflective layer 36 is provided so as to overlap with the pattern layer 40. The reflective layer 36 can be provided by evaporating metal or printing achromatic or silver ink.

[0257] When manufacturing the decorative laminate 30 including the cushion layer 39, the cushion layer 39 is provided at a desired position on the decorative laminate 30. The cushion layer 39 can be provided by any printing method such as offset printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, or screen printing, by heat lamination, or by bonding using an adhesive.

[0258] When manufacturing the decorative laminate 30 including the cushion layer 37 and the adhesive layer 38, Figure 19 As shown, a cushion layer 37 provided with an adhesive layer 38 is laminated on a pattern layer 40. The cushion layer 37 can be bonded to the pattern layer 40 via the adhesive layer 38.

[0259] A surface layer 33 is formed. The surface layer 33 is provided in a manner to become the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The surface layer 33 can be provided by any printing method such as offset printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, screen printing, etc. Alternatively, the surface layer 33 can be formed, for example, by applying an ionizing radiation curable resin composition to the surface of the substrate layer 31 opposite to the surface on which the pattern layer 40 is provided, irradiating the composition with ultraviolet rays or an electron beam, and curing the composition. Alternatively, the surface layer 33 can be formed, for example, by applying a thermosetting resin composition to the surface of the substrate layer 31 opposite to the surface on which the pattern layer 40 is provided, and heating the composition to cure the composition. The surface layer 33 can be provided on the substrate layer 31 before the pattern layer 40 is printed or applied to the substrate layer 31. When the decorative film 20 includes a protective film 23, the process of irradiating the composition with ultraviolet rays or an electron beam or heating the composition to cure the composition can be performed after the protective film 23 is removed.

[0260] The surface layer 33 may not be completely cured. The surface layer 33 is bonded to the base layer 31 and the pattern layer 40, but may be in a state where it can expand and contract. The curing of the surface layer 33 can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the ultraviolet light or electron beam irradiating the composition forming the surface layer 33, or the temperature at which the composition forming the surface layer 33 is heated. By not completely curing the surface layer 33, damage to the surface layer 33 can be prevented before manufacturing the decorative film 20 or the decorative molded article 10 including the decorative laminate 30.

[0261] The decorative laminate 30 is manufactured through the above steps.

[0262] like Figure 20 As shown, when the decorative film 20 includes a protective film 23, the protective film 23 can be provided on the surface layer 33. The protective film 23 can be provided by laminating to the surface layer 33. The protective film 23 can be provided on the surface layer 33 before the pattern layer 40 is printed or coated on the base material layer 31.

[0263] The bonding layer 21 is provided on the decorative laminate 30. When the bonding layer 21 is a heat seal layer, the bonding layer 21 can be provided by applying it to the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. When the bonding layer 21 is an adhesive layer, the bonding layer 21 can be provided by applying an adhesive to the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. When the bonding layer 21 is a heat seal layer or an adhesive layer, the bonding layer 21 can be provided on the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30 by any printing method such as offset printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, or screen printing.

[0264] The decorative film 20 is manufactured through the above steps.

[0265] The decorative film 20 and the decorative laminate 30 are vacuum-formed. The decorative laminate 30 is stretched to conform to the surface of the decorative molded article 10 to be manufactured. The vacuum-formed decorative laminate 30 exhibits a desired pattern on the decorative molded article 10. The decorative laminate 30 is formed larger than the decorative molded article 10. The vacuum-formed decorative laminate 30 is trimmed to conform to the surface shape of the decorative molded article 10.

[0266] The molding portion 11 is formed closer to the second surface 30B than the first surface 30A of the decorative laminate 30. The molding portion 11 can be directly provided on the decorative laminate 30 by injection molding such as insert molding, by TOM molding, or by other molding methods. If the bonding layer 21 is a heat seal layer, the bonding layer 21 bonds the decorative film 20 to the molding portion 11 by heating. If the bonding layer 21 is an adhesive layer, the bonding layer 21 bonds the decorative film 20 to the molding portion 11 by applying pressure.

[0267] When the surface layer 33 is not completely cured, the surface layer 33 is cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays or electron beams or applying heat after the molded portion 11 is formed on the decorative laminate 30 .

[0268] When the decorative film 20 includes a protective film 23, the protective film 23 is removed from the surface layer 33. The protective film 23 is preferably removed after the decorative laminate 30 has been trimmed to prevent shavings generated when trimming the decorative laminate 30 from adhering to the surface layer 33. For example, the protective film 23 may be removed after the decorative laminate 30 has been trimmed and before the molded portion 11 is molded onto the decorative laminate 30, or after the molded portion 11 is molded onto the decorative laminate 30. The composition that will become the surface layer 33 may be cured after the protective film 23 is removed.

[0269] The decorative molded article 10 is manufactured through the above steps.

[0270] It is considered that a decorative film can be used to give a pattern to a molded part of an exterior member of a mobile body, etc., instead of painting with a paint. It is required that the pattern exhibited by the decorative laminated body having the decorative film be close to the pattern of the paint painting.

[0271] In the decorative laminate 30 of this embodiment, the pattern layer 40 includes a glossy layer 41 containing a glossy material 41b. The pattern layer 40 can form a pattern similar to that of a paint finish by utilizing light reflection from the glossy layer 41. This allows the decorative laminate 30 to produce a pattern similar to that of a paint finish. The decorative laminate 30 can exhibit an excellent pattern. Using the decorative laminate 30 can reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide during the manufacture of the decorative molded article 10.

[0272] The decorative laminate 30 includes a surface layer 33. The surface layer 33 protects the pattern layer 40. The surface layer 33 allows the decorative molded article 10 including the decorative laminate 30 to exhibit the durability required when the decorative molded article 10 is used as a part of the exterior member of the vehicle 1.

[0273] The glossy layer 41 has a thickness of 100 μm or less. Because the glossy layer 41 is sufficiently thin, the glossy material 41b can be oriented along the surface on which the glossy layer 41 is formed. The glossy layer 41 allows the pattern layer 40 to be formed into a glossy pattern. This allows the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0274] The glossy layer 41 contains a colorant 41c. By coloring the glossy layer 41 with the colorant 41c, the glossy layer 41 reflects light and exhibits color. The glossy layer 41 allows the pattern layer 40 to be formed into a pattern exhibiting gloss and color. This allows the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0275] The pattern layer 40 includes a coloring layer 43 containing a coloring agent 43c. In the pattern layer 40, the glossy layer 41 showing gloss and the coloring layer 43 showing color are different layers. The pattern layer 40 can form a three-dimensional effect ( ) design. The decorative laminate 30 can show a more excellent pattern.

[0276] The pattern layer 40 includes a transparent layer 45. The transparent layer 45 is disposed between the colored layer 43 and the glossy layer 41. The transparent layer 45 separates the glossy layer 41, which exhibits gloss, from the colored layer 43, which exhibits color. The pattern layer 40 can create a more three-dimensional design, allowing the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0277] The pattern layer 40 includes a second glossy layer 42. The second glossy layer 42 reflects light not reflected by the glossy layer 41. The second glossy layer 42 adjusts the amount of light reflected by the decorative laminate 30, thereby optimizing the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30. The second glossy layer 42 allows the pattern layer 40 to have a more three-dimensional pattern, allowing the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0278] The content of the glossy material 41b included in the glossy layer 41 is different from the content of the glossy material 42b included in the second glossy layer 42. The pattern layer 40 can be formed into a more complex design. The decorative laminate 30 can display a more excellent pattern.

[0279] The glossy layer 41, located closer to the second surface 30B, contains a higher content of glossy material 41b than the second glossy layer 42, located closer to the first surface 30A. During the manufacturing process of the decorative molded article 10, the decorative laminate 30 is vacuum-formed and stretched. Even if the second glossy layer 42 is less likely to reflect light, the glossy layer 41 readily reflects light. The glossy layer 41 readily reflects light that is not reflected by the second glossy layer 42. The glossy layer 41 and the second glossy layer 42 facilitate the formation of a more three-dimensional pattern on the pattern layer 40. This allows the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0280] The glossy layer 41 and the second glossy layer 42 contain a colorant, and the content of the colorant in the glossy layer 41 is different from the content of the colorant in the second glossy layer 42. The pattern layer 40 can form a more three-dimensional pattern. The decorative laminate 30 can display a more excellent pattern.

[0281] The glossy layer 41 near the second surface 30B contains a higher colorant content than the second glossy layer 42 near the first surface 30A. The pattern layer 40 can form a more three-dimensional pattern. The decorative laminate 30 can display a more excellent pattern.

[0282] The decorative laminate 30 includes a shielding layer 35. The shielding layer 35 makes it difficult to see other components provided on the second surface 30B of the decorative laminate 30. The shielding layer 35 allows the decorative laminate 30 to more clearly display the pattern formed by the pattern layer 40. This allows the decorative laminate 30 to display a more excellent pattern.

[0283] The decorative laminate 30 includes a reflective layer 36. The reflective layer 36 reflects light not reflected by the glossy layer 41. The reflective layer 36 adjusts the amount of light reflected by the decorative laminate 30, allowing the decorative laminate 30 to display an appropriate pattern. The reflective layer 36 allows the pattern layer 40 to have a more three-dimensional effect, allowing the decorative laminate 30 to display a more superior pattern.

[0284] The decorative laminate 30 includes a cushioning layer 37. The cushioning layer 37 allows the shape of the decorative laminate 30 to be maintained even when the decorative film 20 including the decorative laminate 30 is vacuum-formed, thereby preserving the pattern exhibited by the decorative laminate 30. Even when a decorative molded article 10 is manufactured using the decorative film 20 including the decorative laminate 30, the pattern exhibited by the decorative laminate 30 can be maintained at an excellent level.

[0285] When the decorative film 20 having the decorative laminate 30 is vacuum formed, the decorative laminate 30 will stretch. For example, the area of ​​the decorative laminate 30 can be stretched to 1.01 times to 5 times. When the pattern layer 40 stretches, the color presented by the pattern layer 40 will become uneven. For example, when the decorative film 20 stretches, the transmittance of the pattern layer 40 becomes higher, and it is easier to reflect the color of the lower layer than the pattern layer 40. The pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30 will deteriorate. At least one of the backing layer 37, the adhesive layer 38 and the base layer 31 contains a colorant. By coloring at least one of the backing layer 37, the adhesive layer 38 and the base layer 31, the color unevenness of the color presented by the pattern layer 40 can be reduced. The deterioration of the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30 can be suppressed. Specifically, in the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30, the color difference ΔE can be made * The ab value is 3.0 or less.

[0286] ΔE * The value of ab refers to the * a * b * In the colorimetric system, the L between two points of the object is * The difference between the values ​​of ΔL * 、a * The difference Δa * and b * The difference Δb * , through ΔE * ab=[(ΔL * )2 +(Δa * ) 2 +(Δb * ) 2 ] 1 / 2 The calculated value.

[0287] Figure 21 1A of the moving body 1 as a part of the exterior member is shown in FIG. Figure 21 The movable body component 1A shown in FIG. 1 includes a decorative molded product 10 and a painted component 50 . Figure 21 In the example shown, in the moving body part 1A, the decorative molded article 10 and the painted part 50 are adjacent to each other. Figure 21 As shown, the decorative molded article 10 includes a decorative film 20 and a molded portion 11 joined to the decorative film 20. The coating component 50 includes: a molded portion 11 different from the molded portion 11 included in the decorative molded article 10, and a coating agent 51 applied to the molded portion 11. The coating component 50 displays a pattern through the coating agent 51. For the decorative molded article 10, by coloring at least one of the backing layer 37, the adhesive layer 38 and the base material layer 31 included in the decorative laminate 30, the color unevenness of the color presented by the pattern layer 40 can be reduced. In this way, the color difference between the decorative laminate 30 and the coating component 50 can be made inconspicuous. Specifically, the color difference ΔE between the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30 and the pattern displayed by the coating component can be reduced. * The ab value is 3.0 or less.

[0288] Figure 22 1B is shown as a moving body component 1B included in the moving body 1 as a part of the exterior member. Figure 22 The moving body component 1B shown in FIG. 1 has two different decorative molded parts 10 . Figure 22In the example shown, two decorative molded articles 10 are adjacent to each other in a movable body part 1B. The two decorative molded articles 10 shown in the figure each include a decorative film 20 and a molded portion 11 joined to the decorative film 20. In the movable body part 1B shown in the figure, the decorative film 20 included in one of the two decorative molded articles 10 is different from the decorative film 20 included in the other of the two decorative molded articles 10. In addition, the molded portion 11 included in one of the two decorative molded articles 10 is different from the molded portion 11 included in the other of the two decorative molded articles 10. The two decorative molded articles 10 may have different elongations during molding, different molding methods, or different materials for the molded portion 11. By coloring at least one of the backing layer 37, adhesive layer 38, and base material layer 31 of the decorative laminate 30 included in each decorative molded article 10, color unevenness in the color presented by the pattern layer 40 can be reduced. This makes the color difference between the decorative laminates 30a and 30b less noticeable. Specifically, the color difference ΔE between the patterns exhibited by the decorative laminate 30 included in each decorative molded article 10 can be set to * The ab value is 3.0 or less.

[0289] The decorative laminate 30 includes a cushioning layer 39. The cushioning layer 39 can mitigate external impacts on other layers of the decorative laminate 30. This can prevent the decorative film 20 including the decorative laminate 30 from being peeled off from the molded portion 11 due to external impacts. This can also prevent damage to the pattern layer 40 due to external impacts, which could degrade the pattern displayed by the decorative laminate 30.

[0290] When the bonding layer 21 included in the decorative film 20 is a heat seal layer, the molded portion 11 and the bonding layer 21 are easily and firmly bonded when the molded portion 11 is molded on the decorative film 20. When the molded portion 11 is provided on the decorative film 20 by insert molding, the heat seal layer can deform according to the shape of the molded portion 11. This facilitates a more secure bonding between the molded portion 11 and the bonding layer 21.

[0291] When the bonding layer 21 included in the decorative film 20 is an adhesive layer, the decorative film 20 and the molding portion 11 can be bonded in various ways, for example, by setting the molding portion 11 on the decorative film 20 using TOM molding, or by attaching the decorative film 20 to the molding portion 11.
