AI Technical Summary
Conventional decorative boards face issues with warping due to moisture content fluctuations in wood-based substrates, and the lack of a moisture-proof film on the back surface leads to poor design and increased costs.
A moisture-proof film for building materials is developed, comprising a resin base material, an inorganic layer, a barrier coat layer, and a hidden layer with a thermosetting resin and pigment, which provides both moisture-proofing and concealment properties.
The solution effectively prevents warping by providing moisture-proofing to the back surface of decorative boards, while also enhancing design aesthetics and reducing production costs by allowing a single-color decorative sheet to be laminated on the back surface.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a moisture-proof film for building materials and a decorative board. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Decorative boards, which are formed by laminating a decorative sheet onto the surface of a wood-based substrate such as wood plywood, medium density fiberboard (MDF), hardboard, or particle board, have traditionally been used as surface materials for doors, sliding doors, partitions, flooring, and the like.
[0003] When the moisture content of the wood-based substrate is lower than the equilibrium moisture content of the wood-based substrate under outdoor conditions, the wood-based substrate absorbs moisture or water from the side of the decorative board where the decorative sheet is not laminated, causing this side to expand. On the other hand, when the moisture content of the wood-based substrate is higher than the equilibrium moisture content of the wood-based substrate under outdoor conditions, the wood-based substrate releases moisture or water, causing the substrate to shrink, whereas the side where the decorative sheet is laminated hardly absorbs or releases moisture or water, resulting in a difference in the expansion or contraction rate between the side where the decorative sheet is laminated and the side where the wood-based substrate is exposed, causing the decorative board to warp.
[0004] To prevent such warping of the wood-based substrate, for example, a method is known in which a moisture-proof film is laminated on the surface of the wood-based substrate opposite to the surface on which the decorative sheet is laminated.
[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a decorative board in which a moisture-proof film for building materials is laminated on one surface of a wood-based substrate via an adhesive layer, and a decorative sheet is laminated on the other surface of the wood-based substrate. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-177685 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] In recent decorative boards, a single-color decorative sheet may be laminated on the surface of the wood-based base material opposite to the side on which the decorative sheet is laminated (also referred to as the back surface of the decorative board). However, when laminating a single-color decorative sheet on the back surface of the decorative board, the number of steps increases, leading to an increase in costs, and therefore, in some cases, the single-color decorative sheet is not laminated.
[0008] If a single-color decorative sheet is not laminated on the back surface of the decorative board, the wood-based base material is visible, resulting in a problem of poor design.
[0009] In the decorative board described in Patent Document 1, the design of the back surface of the decorative board has not been fully considered, and there is room for further improvement.
[0010] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a moisture-proof film for building materials that imparts moisture-proof performance to the back surface of a decorative board while also providing excellent concealment properties. In addition, since the concealing property can be imparted to the back surface of the decorative board without laminating a single-color decorative sheet, the number of steps can be reduced. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] By using a moisture-proof film for building materials that has a resin substrate, an inorganic layer, and a barrier coat layer, at least in this order, and has a concealing layer containing a thermosetting resin and a pigment laminated at a predetermined position, it is possible to impart concealing properties to the decorative panel in addition to moisture-proofing performance.
[0012] That is, the present disclosure provides a moisture-proof film for building materials comprising, at least in this order, a resin substrate, an inorganic layer, and a barrier coat layer, and further comprising a concealing layer on the side of the resin substrate opposite to the side on which the inorganic layer is provided, the concealing layer containing a thermosetting resin and a pigment.
[0013] In the moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure, the concealing layer preferably has a thickness of 2 μm or more and 12 μm or less. The concealing layer preferably contains 30% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less of the pigment based on the total mass of the concealing layer. It is also preferable to provide a surface protective layer on the side of the concealing layer opposite to the side on which the resin substrate is provided. The resin substrate preferably has a thickness of 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The resin substrate preferably contains a biomass-derived component. The resin substrate preferably contains 5% by mass or more and 45% by mass or less of ethylene glycol derived from biomass, based on the total mass of the resin substrate. The present disclosure also relates to a decorative board comprising a wood-based substrate and a decorative sheet, at least in this order, on the side of the moisture-proof film for building materials that has a barrier coat layer. The decorative board of the present disclosure has the moisture-proof film for building materials and the wood-based substrate laminated together via an adhesive layer, and it is preferred that the adhesive layer contains a pigment. Effect of the Invention
[0014] The present disclosure provides a moisture-proof film for building materials that provides moisture-proof performance to the back surface of a decorative board while also providing excellent concealment. In addition, since the concealment can be provided without laminating a single-color decorative sheet to the back surface of the decorative board, the number of steps can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] <Moisture-proof film for building materials> The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure comprises a resin substrate, an inorganic layer, and a barrier coat layer, at least in this order, and further comprises a concealing layer on the side of the resin substrate opposite to the side on which the inorganic layer is provided, the concealing layer containing a thermosetting resin and a pigment.
[0017] By using a moisture-proof film for building materials that has a resin substrate, an inorganic layer, and a barrier coat layer at least in this order, and a concealing layer containing a thermosetting resin and a pigment laminated at a predetermined position, it is possible to impart concealing properties to the decorative board in addition to moisture-proofing performance. In addition, since the concealing properties can be imparted without laminating a single-color decorative sheet on the back surface of the decorative board, the number of steps can be reduced, which is also advantageous in terms of cost.
[0018] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a schematic diagram of a preferred example of the moisture-proof film for building materials according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the moisture-proof film for building materials 10 comprises at least a resin substrate 2, an inorganic layer 3, and a barrier coat layer 4, in this order, and has a concealing layer 1 on the side of the resin substrate 2 opposite to the side on which the inorganic layer 3 is provided.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a schematic diagram of a preferred example of the moisture-proof film for building materials according to the present disclosure. 2, the moisture-proof film for building materials 10 comprises, at least in this order, a resin substrate 2, an inorganic layer 3, and a barrier coat layer 4, and has a concealing layer 1 on the side of the resin substrate 2 opposite to the side where the inorganic layer 3 is provided. A primer layer 5 may be provided on the side of the barrier coat layer 4 opposite to the side where the inorganic layer 3 is provided. It is also preferable to provide a surface protective layer 7 on the side of the concealing layer 1 opposite to the side on which the resin substrate 2 is provided. A primer layer 6 may be provided between the concealing layer 1 and the surface protective layer 7. Each layer constituting the moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0020] (Resin substrate) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure includes a resin substrate.
[0021] The resin substrate is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known resin film or resin sheet can be used.
[0022] Examples of resin films or resin sheets include polyester-based resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN); polyamide-based resins such as polyamide resin 6, polyamide resin 66, polyamide resin 610, polyamide resin 612, polyamide resin 11, and polyamide resin 12; and polyolefin-based resins such as α-olefin polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
[0023] The resin substrate (resin film or resin sheet) preferably contains a biomass-derived component, and more preferably contains biomass-derived ethylene glycol. Specifically, it is more preferable to include a biomass polyester having ethylene glycol derived from biomass as the diol unit and a dicarboxylic acid derived from a fossil fuel as the dicarboxylic acid unit. By including a biomass-derived component in the resin base material, it is possible to reduce the use of raw materials derived from fossil fuels and reduce the environmental burden.
[0024] The resin substrate preferably contains 5% by mass or more and 45% by mass or less of ethylene glycol derived from biomass, based on the total mass of the resin substrate.
[0025] Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains a certain percentage of C14 (105.5 pMC), so it is known that the C14 content in plants that grow by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as corn, is also about 105.5 pMC. It is also known that fossil fuels contain very little C14. Therefore, by measuring the proportion of C14 among all carbon atoms in a polyester, it is possible to determine whether or not the polyester is made from raw materials derived from biomass.
[0026] The resin film or resin sheet can be produced, for example, by using one or more of the above-mentioned resins and using a film-forming method such as an extrusion method, a cast molding method, a T-die method, a cutting method, an inflation method, or the like to form a film by multilayer co-extrusion using one or more of the above-mentioned resins, or by using two or more resins and mixing them before forming into a film. Furthermore, for example, a film stretched in a uniaxial or biaxial direction by using a tenter system or a tubular system can be used.
[0027] When one or more of the above resins are used to form a film, various plastic compounding agents and additives can be added for the purpose of improving or modifying, for example, the processability, heat resistance, weather resistance, mechanical properties, dimensional stability, oxidation resistance, slipperiness, release properties, flame retardancy, mildew resistance, electrical properties, strength, and the like of the film. The amount of the additive may range from a trace amount to several tens of percent, and may be arbitrarily selected depending on the purpose.
[0028] Examples of additives that can be used include lubricants, crosslinking agents, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, pigments, and the like. Furthermore, modifying resins and the like may be used.
[0029] The resin substrate may be subjected to a surface treatment such as a saponification treatment, a glow discharge treatment, a corona discharge treatment, a plasma discharge treatment, an ultraviolet (UV) treatment, or a flame treatment.
[0030] The resin substrate preferably has a thickness of 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the resin substrate has a thickness within the above range, abrasion resistance can be suitably imparted. The resin substrate more preferably has a thickness of 10 μm or more and 25 μm or less.
[0031] (Inorganic layer) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure includes an inorganic layer.
[0032] The inorganic layer is preferably a vapor-deposited film of an inorganic substance or an inorganic oxide. The vapor-deposited film can be formed by a conventionally known method using a conventionally known inorganic substance or inorganic oxide, and the composition and the method of formation are not particularly limited. By providing the inorganic layer, it is possible to improve the gas barrier properties that prevent the permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, and the like.
[0033] Examples of the deposited film that can be used include deposited films of inorganic substances or inorganic oxides such as silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), tin (Sn), sodium (Na), boron (B), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), and yttrium (Y).
[0034] As a material suitable for building materials, it is preferable to use a vapor-deposited film of aluminum metal, or a vapor-deposited film of silicon oxide, aluminum metal, or aluminum oxide. Furthermore, when a high frequency wave is used to bond a moisture-proof film to wood during processing of a flush door, a transparent inorganic oxide vapor deposition layer is more preferable.
[0035] Inorganic oxides are expressed as, for example, SiO X , AlO X MO X (wherein, M represents an inorganic element, and the value of X varies depending on the inorganic element.) The value of x can range from 0 to 2 for silicon (Si), 0 to 1.5 for aluminum (Al), 0 to 1 for magnesium (Mg), 0 to 1 for calcium (Ca), 0 to 1 for potassium (K), 0 to 0.5 for tin (Sn), 0 to 2 for sodium (Na), 0 to 0.5 for boron (B), 0 to 1.5 for titanium (Ti), 0 to 2 for lead (Pb), 0 to 1 for zirconium (Zr), and 0 to 1.5 for yttrium (Y). In the above, when X=0, it is a completely inorganic element (pure substance) and is not transparent, and the upper limit of the range of X is the value at which it is completely oxidized. Silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al) are preferably used in building materials, and silicon (Si) with a value in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 and aluminum (Al) with a value in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 can be used.
[0036] The thickness of the vapor-deposited film varies depending on the type of inorganic substance or inorganic oxide used, but is preferably selected from the range of about 50 to 2000 Å, or about 100 to 1000 Å, for example.
[0037] In the case of an aluminum vapor deposition film, the thickness of the vapor deposition film is, for example, about 50 to 600 Å, and preferably about 100 to 450 Å. In the case of a vapor-deposited film of aluminum oxide or silicon oxide, the thickness of the vapor-deposited film is preferably about 50 to 500 Å, and more preferably about 100 to 300 Å.
[0038] Examples of methods for forming a vapor-deposited film include physical vapor deposition methods (PVD methods) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, and chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD methods) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition.
[0039] (Barrier coat layer) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure includes a barrier coat layer.
[0040] The barrier coat layer is a layer having gas barrier properties, and is preferably a coating film. The barrier coat layer is preferably a cured film of a hydrolysis product of a metal alkoxide and a water-soluble polymer. By providing the barrier coat layer, it is possible to improve the gas barrier properties that prevent the permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, and the like.
[0041] The barrier coat layer can be formed, for example, by the following gas barrier coating film. The coating film is a coating film that retains gas barrier properties in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and is represented by the general formula R 1 n M(OR 2 ) m (In the formula, R 1 , R 2 represents an organic group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M represents a metal atom, n represents an integer of 0 or more, m represents an integer of 1 or more, and n+m represents the atomic valence of M. The coating film is made of a composition for a barrier coat layer, which contains at least one metal alkoxide represented by the formula (I) and a water-soluble polymer, and is further obtained by polycondensation by a sol-gel method in the presence of a sol-gel catalyst, an acid, water, and an organic solvent.
[0042] The barrier coat layer composition can be applied onto the inorganic layer to provide a coating film, and then the coating film can be heated and dried for 10 seconds to 10 minutes at a temperature of 20°C to 180°C and below the melting point of the inorganic layer (vapor-deposited film). The inorganic layer may be coated with the coating film to form two or more overlapping layers, and the coating film may be heated and dried for 10 seconds to 10 minutes at a temperature of 20°C to 180°C and below the melting point of the inorganic layer (vapor-deposited film) to form a composite polymer layer with two or more overlapping layers of the coating film.
[0043] The metal alkoxide is represented by the above general formula R 1 n M(OR 2 ) m In the above, examples of the metal atom represented by M include silicon, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, and the like.
[0044] Two or more kinds of metal alkoxides may be used in combination. For example, by using a mixture of alkoxysilane and zirconium alkoxide, the toughness, heat resistance, etc. of the resulting moisture-proof film for building materials can be improved. In addition, deterioration of the retort resistance, etc. of the moisture-proof film for building materials during stretching can be avoided. Furthermore, when an alkoxysilane and titanium alkoxide are mixed, the thermal conductivity of the coating film is reduced, and the heat resistance is improved significantly.
[0045] As the water-soluble polymer, a polyvinyl alcohol resin or an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer can be used alone, or a polyvinyl alcohol resin and an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer can be used in combination. It is preferable to use a polyvinyl alcohol resin and / or an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, which can improve physical properties such as gas barrier properties, water resistance, weather resistance, and the like.
[0046] As the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, generally, one obtained by saponifying polyvinyl acetate can be used. The polyvinyl alcohol resin may be a partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol resin in which several tens of percent of acetate groups remain, a fully saponified polyvinyl alcohol in which no acetate groups remain, or a modified polyvinyl alcohol resin in which OH groups have been modified, and is not particularly limited.
[0047] As the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, a saponified copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, that is, a product obtained by saponifying an ethylene-vinyl acetate random copolymer, can be used. For example, it includes, without any particular limitation, a partially saponified product in which several tens of mole percent of acetate groups remain, and a completely saponified product in which only a few mole percent of acetate groups remain, or no acetate groups remain. However, from the viewpoint of gas barrier properties, it is preferable to use one having a degree of saponification of 80 mol % or more, more preferably 90 mol % or more, and even more preferably 95 mol % or more. The content of repeating units derived from ethylene in the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (hereinafter also referred to as "ethylene content") is usually 0 to 50 mol %, preferably 20 to 45 mol %.
[0048] The barrier coat layer may contain a silane coupling agent. For example, a silane coupling agent having a reactive group such as an alkoxy group, such as a methoxy group or an ethoxy group, an acetoxy group, an amino group, or an epoxy group can be used.
[0049] The barrier coat layer can be produced by the following method: First, the above metal alkoxide, and optionally a silane coupling agent, a water-soluble polymer, a sol-gel catalyst, an acid, water, an organic solvent, and the like are mixed to prepare a composition for the barrier coat layer.
[0050] Next, a composition for a barrier coat layer is applied onto the above-mentioned vapor-deposited film by a conventional method, and then dried. This drying step further promotes polycondensation of the metal alkoxide, the silane coupling agent, and the polyvinyl alcohol resin and / or the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, etc., to form a coating film. The above coating operation may be further repeated on the first coating film to form a plurality of coating films consisting of two or more layers.
[0051] Next, the substrate film coated with the composition for a barrier coat layer is heat-treated at a temperature of 20°C to 180°C and below the melting point of the deposited film, preferably at a temperature in the range of 50°C to 160°C, for 10 seconds to 10 minutes. This makes it possible to form one or more barrier coat layers on the inorganic layer by coating the composition for the barrier coat layer.
[0052] The method for applying the barrier coat layer composition may be, for example, a coating means such as roll coating using a gravure roll coater or the like, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, brush coating, bar coating, applicator, or the like. By applying the composition once or multiple times, a coating film having a dry thickness of about 0.01 to 30 μm, preferably about 0.1 to 10 μm, can be formed. Further, the composition is heated and dried under normal conditions at a temperature of 50 to 300° C., preferably 70 to 200° C., for 0.005 to 60 minutes, preferably 0.01 to 10 minutes, to cause condensation and form a barrier coat layer.
[0053] (hidden layer) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure includes a concealing layer on the side of the resin substrate opposite to the side on which the inorganic layer is provided.
[0054] The hiding layer contains a thermosetting resin and a pigment.
[0055] Examples of thermosetting resins include chlorine-based resins, urethane resins, acrylic urethane resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, butyral resins, polystyrene resins, nitrocellulose resins (nitrocellulose), cellulose acetate resins, etc. Examples of chlorine-based resins include polyvinyl chloride resins such as polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene-vinyl chloride copolymers, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-(meth)acrylic copolymers, polypropylene chloride, and chlorinated polypropylene. Incidentally, "(meth)acrylic" means acrylic or methacrylic. The thermosetting resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. Also applicable is a material that is crosslinked and hardened by adding an isocyanate curing agent and applying heat.
[0056] Examples of the pigment include inorganic pigments such as carbon black, iron black, titanium oxide, antimony white, yellow lead, titanium yellow, red iron oxide, cadmium red, ultramarine blue, and cobalt blue; and organic pigments such as quinacridone red, isoindolinone yellow, and phthalocyanine blue. The colorant may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, titanium oxide is preferred because its particle size can be changed relatively freely, it is chemically inactive, and it has an extremely high refractive index and thus high hiding power.
[0057] From the viewpoint of hiding power, the hiding layer preferably contains 30% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less of a pigment based on the total mass of the hiding layer. When the pigment is a black pigment, the content of the pigment is more preferably 30% by mass or more and 45% by mass or less relative to the total mass of the concealing layer. Furthermore, when the pigment is a white pigment, the content of the pigment is more preferably 60% by mass or more and 75% by mass or less relative to the total mass of the concealing layer.
[0058] The concealing layer preferably contains 25% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less of a thermosetting resin based on the total mass of the concealing layer.
[0059] The concealing layer is preferably a printed layer. Examples of the printing method include gravure printing, offset printing, screen printing, flexographic printing, electrostatic printing, and inkjet printing.
[0060] The ink composition for the concealing layer (coating liquid) used for forming the concealing layer is, for example, a mixture of a solvent, a pigment, a thermosetting resin, and the like. The ink composition for the concealing layer may contain other components such as a stabilizer, a plasticizer, a catalyst, and a curing agent.
[0061] The solvent can be appropriately selected in consideration of the dispersibility of the pigment, the solubility of the thermosetting resin, etc. Examples of the solvent include petroleum-based organic solvents such as hexane, heptane, octane, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, and methylcyclohexane; ester-based organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, 2-methoxyethyl acetate, and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate; alcohol-based organic solvents such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, normal propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol; ketone-based organic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; ether-based organic solvents such as diethyl ether, dioxane, and tetrahydrofuran; chlorine-based organic solvents such as dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene; and inorganic solvents such as water. The solvent may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
[0062] From the viewpoint of concealment, the thickness of the concealing layer is preferably 2 μm or more and 12 μm or less, and more preferably 5 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
[0063] (Primer layer) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure may include a primer layer.
[0064] The primer layer can be formed using, for example, ester-based resins, urethane-based resins, acrylic-based resins, polycarbonate-based resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinyl butyral-based resins, nitrocellulose-based resins, etc., and one or more of these resins can be used. Among these, it is particularly preferable to form a two-liquid curing type urethane resin layer that is made of a mixed resin of a urethane resin and a nitrocellulose-based resin as a base resin and an isocyanate compound as a curing agent.
[0065] The thickness of the primer layer is preferably from 0.1 μm to 3 μm, and more preferably from 0.2 μm to 1 μm.
[0066] The primer layer can be formed by using a coating method such as roll coating or gravure printing.
[0067] The primer layer has excellent adhesion to the wood-based substrate, and is therefore preferably provided on the side of the barrier coat layer opposite the side on which the inorganic layer is provided. The primer layer may be provided between each layer constituting the moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure. The primer layer may be one layer or two or more layers. The two or more primer layers may have the same composition or different compositions.
[0068] (Surface protective layer) The moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure preferably includes a surface protective layer. The surface protective layer can provide durability (scratch resistance, stain resistance, weather resistance, etc.) and also allows gloss adjustment, improving design.
[0069] The surface protective layer may contain, for example, a cured product of a heat curable component or a cured product of an ionizing radiation curable component as a main component. The cured product is preferably transparent.
[0070] Examples of the cured product of the thermosetting component include ester-based urethane and acrylic-based urethane. Examples of acrylic urethane include acrylic polyol to which isocyanate is added as a curing agent.
[0071] Examples of the cured product of an ionizing radiation curable component include a cured product of an oligomer and / or monomer having a radically polymerizable unsaturated bond or a cationic polymerizable functional group in the molecule. Ionizing radiation refers to electromagnetic waves or charged particles that have enough energy to polymerize or crosslink molecules, typically electron beam (EB) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
[0072] As the oligomer having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group in the molecule, for example, oligomers such as urethane (meth)acrylate, polyester (meth)acrylate, epoxy (meth)acrylate, melamine (meth)acrylate, triazine (meth)acrylate, etc. can be preferably used, and urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer is more preferable. As the molecular weight, those of about 250 or more and 100,000 or less are usually used.
[0073] As the monomer having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group in the molecule, for example, a polyfunctional monomer is preferable, and a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate is more preferable. As the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate, for example, diethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, propylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, bisphenol A ethylene oxide modified di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane ethylene oxide tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate {pentafunctional (meth)acrylate}, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate {hexafunctional (meth)acrylate}, etc. may be mentioned. In addition, a monofunctional monomer may be appropriately used.
[0074] The ionizing radiation curable component preferably contains a urethane acrylate oligomer and a polyfunctional monomer in a mass ratio of urethane acrylate oligomer / polyfunctional monomer in the range of 6 / 4 or more and 9 / 1 or less.
[0075] The method for forming the surface protective layer is not particularly limited, and any known method can be used. When the ionizing radiation curable resin is crosslinked by ultraviolet light, it is preferable to use a photopolymerization initiator. The amount of the photopolymerization initiator added is, for example, 0.1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the ionizing radiation curable component.
[0076] The surface protective layer preferably has a thickness of 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less. If the thickness of the surface protective layer is within the above range, sufficient durability (scratch resistance, stain resistance, weather resistance, etc.) can be suitably imparted. The surface protective layer more preferably has a thickness of 3 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
[0077] (Method of manufacturing moisture-proof film for building materials) Each layer constituting the moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure can be formed by the method described above. The order in which the layers constituting the moisture-proof film for building materials of the present disclosure are formed is not particularly important.
[0078] <Decorative board> The decorative board of the present disclosure comprises, at least in this order, a moisture-proof film for building materials, a wood-based substrate, and a decorative sheet.
[0079] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a schematic example of a preferred example of the decorative board of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the decorative board 20 includes a wood-based substrate 11 and a decorative sheet 12 on the side of the moisture-proof film for building materials 10 on which the barrier coat layer is provided.
[0080] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a schematic example of a preferred example of the decorative board of the present disclosure. 4, the decorative board 20 includes a moisture-proof film for building materials 10A, a wood-based substrate 11, and a decorative sheet 12. Between the wood-based substrate 11 and the decorative sheet 12, a further moisture-proof film for building materials 10B may be provided.

[0098] Example 1 An aluminum oxide (alumina) film having a thickness of 10 nm was formed by vacuum deposition on one side of a 12 μm-thick PET film (PET-F, manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) serving as a resin substrate. Here, a hydrolysis liquid having a solid content of 4 mass % that was previously prepared and was composed of tetraethoxysilane (ethyl silicate 40), hydrochloric acid, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was stirred. Further, a previously prepared mixture of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was added and stirred to obtain a colorless and transparent composition for a barrier coat layer. Next, the above-mentioned barrier coat layer composition was coated on the vapor deposition film (alumina film) of the PET film by gravure roll coating, heated and dried, and cured to form a barrier coat layer with a thickness of 200 nm, thereby obtaining a moisture-proof film (layer structure: resin substrate / vapor deposition film / barrier coat layer) before the formation of a concealing layer.
[0099] <Concealment evaluation method> A white concealing layer ink was prepared by adding a curing agent (isocyanate compound) and methyl ethyl ketone to 9.8 parts by mass of urethane resin, 4.2 parts by mass of acrylic polyol resin, and 38 parts by mass of titanium oxide. Using a bar coater, apply 2.8 g / m of white concealing layer ink to the resin substrate of the moisture-proof film. 2 A 3 μm-thick hiding layer was formed, and a moisture-proof film of Example 1 was prepared. Thereafter, the moisture-proof film after the formation of the concealing layer was placed on a concealment test paper [TP Giken Co., Ltd., concealment test paper (JISK-5600 compliant product)] so that the concealing layer faced the concealment test paper, and the color difference ΔE on the white and black surfaces was measured and evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, they are indicated as "ΔE evaluation." In the following evaluation, "++" and "+" were deemed to be passing. The color difference was measured using a CR-400 (manufactured by Konica Minolta). ++:ΔE<12 +:12≦ΔE≦16 -:16<ΔE
[0100] In addition, the moisture-proof film after the formation of the concealing layer was placed on a 2.5mm-thick MDF (manufactured by Hokushin Co., Ltd.) with the barrier coat layer facing the MDF, and the concealing layer of the moisture-proof film after the formation of the concealing layer was placed on top, and a light source (manufactured by Toshiba Co., Ltd., FLR40SD-EDL-D65 / M) was shone on the concealing layer from a position at 90°, and visual confirmation was performed from a distance of about 1m, and evaluation was performed according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, they are listed as "MDF evaluation". In the following evaluation, "++" and "+" were deemed to be passing. ++:Cannot see the color of MDF +: The color of the MDF can be seen slightly (no visible problems with appearance) -: You can check the color of the MDF

[0103] From Table 1, it was confirmed that the moisture-proof film having the opacifying layer formed thereon has excellent opacifying properties.
[0104] <Production of moisture-proof film for building materials> (First moisture-proof film) An aluminum oxide (alumina) film having a thickness of 10 nm was formed by vacuum deposition on one side of a 12 μm-thick PET film (PET-F, manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) serving as a resin substrate. Here, a hydrolysis liquid having a solid content of 4 mass % that was previously prepared and was composed of tetraethoxysilane (ethyl silicate 40), hydrochloric acid, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was stirred. Further, a previously prepared mixture of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was added and stirred to obtain a colorless and transparent composition for a barrier coat layer. Next, the above-mentioned composition for a barrier coat layer was coated on the vapor-deposited film (alumina film) of the PET film by gravure roll coating, dried by heating, and cured to form a barrier coat layer having a thickness of 200 nm. Furthermore, a two-liquid curing type urethane resin composition obtained by adding isocyanate as a curing agent to a urethane / nitrocellulose resin was applied onto the barrier coat layer by gravure printing to form a primer layer A having a thickness of 1 μm. In addition, the surface of the PET film opposite the vapor-deposited film layer was subjected to a corona discharge treatment, and then a two-component curing urethane resin composition made of a urethane / nitrocellulose-based resin to which isocyanate was added as a curing agent was applied to form a 1 μm-thick primer layer B, thereby obtaining a first moisture-proof film (layer structure: primer layer B / resin substrate / vapor-deposited film / barrier coat layer / primer layer A).
[0105] (Second moisture-proof film) An aluminum oxide (alumina) film having a thickness of 10 nm was formed by vacuum deposition on one side of a 12 μm-thick PET film (PET-F, manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) serving as a resin substrate. Here, a hydrolysis liquid having a solid content of 4 mass % that was previously prepared and was composed of tetraethoxysilane (ethyl silicate 40), hydrochloric acid, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was stirred. Further, a previously prepared mixture of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was added and stirred to obtain a colorless and transparent composition for a barrier coat layer. Next, the above-mentioned composition for a barrier coat layer was coated on the vapor-deposited film (alumina film) of the PET film by gravure roll coating, dried by heating, and cured to form a barrier coat layer having a thickness of 200 nm. Furthermore, a two-liquid curing type urethane resin composition, in which an isocyanate was added as a curing agent to a urethane / nitrocellulose resin, was applied onto the barrier coat layer by gravure printing to form a primer layer having a thickness of 1 μm. In addition, the surface of the PET film opposite to the side with the vapor deposition film (alumina film) was subjected to a corona discharge treatment, and then a two-component curing type concealing ink layer was applied by gravure printing, which was made by adding isocyanate as a hardener to an ink containing 14 parts by mass (solid content) of urethane / acrylic resin and 38 parts by mass (solid content) of titanium oxide, to form a 3 μm-thick concealing layer, and a second moisture-proof film (layer structure: concealing layer / resin substrate / vapor deposition film / barrier coat layer / primer layer) was obtained.
[0106] (Third moisture-proof film) An aluminum oxide (alumina) film having a thickness of 10 nm was formed by vacuum deposition on one side of a 12 μm-thick PET film (PET-F, manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) serving as a resin substrate. Here, a hydrolysis liquid having a solid content of 4 mass % that was previously prepared and was composed of tetraethoxysilane (ethyl silicate 40), hydrochloric acid, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was stirred. Further, a previously prepared mixture of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution, isopropyl alcohol, and ion-exchanged water was added and stirred to obtain a colorless and transparent composition for a barrier coat layer. Next, the above-mentioned composition for a barrier coat layer was coated on the vapor-deposited film (alumina film) of the PET film by gravure roll coating, dried by heating, and cured to form a barrier coat layer having a thickness of 200 nm. Furthermore, a two-liquid curing type urethane resin composition, in which an isocyanate was added as a curing agent to a urethane / nitrocellulose resin, was applied onto the barrier coat layer by gravure printing to form a primer layer having a thickness of 1 μm. Furthermore, after subjecting the surface of the PET film opposite to the side having the vapor deposition film (alumina film) to a corona discharge treatment, a two-component curing concealing ink layer was applied by gravure printing, the ink containing 14 parts by mass (solids) of urethane / acrylic resin and 38 parts by mass (solids) of titanium oxide, to which isocyanate was added as a curing agent, to form a concealing layer 3 μm thick. Thereafter, a two-component curing resin, which was prepared by adding isocyanate as a curing agent to acrylic polyol, was applied onto the concealing layer by gravure printing to form a surface protective layer having a thickness of 1 μm. A third moisture-proof film (layer structure: surface protective layer / hiding layer / resin substrate / vapor-deposited film / barrier coat layer / primer layer) was obtained.
