In this specification, when a numerical range is indicated using "-", it is intended to include both the lower limit and the upper limit unless otherwise specified. For example, the expression "10-20" includes both the lower limit "10" and the upper limit "20". In other words, "10-20" has the same meaning as "10 or more and 20 or less". In addition, in this specification, the upper limit and lower limit of each numerical range can be combined in any way.

[0010] 1. Laminated sheet 10 The laminate sheet 10 of this embodiment has a base layer 11 and a surface layer 13 laminated directly on the base layer 11.

[0022] From the viewpoint of recyclability and moldability, the ionomer more preferably contains a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid. The ionomer may be a commercially available product, such as Himilan 1706 and Himilan AM7329 manufactured by Mitsui-Dow Polychemicals, or Surlyn 9945, Surlyn 9120, or Surlyn 9150 manufactured by Dow.

[0023] The surface layer 13 may contain only the ionomer, or may contain the ionomer and a thermoplastic resin (excluding the ionomer). The thermoplastic resin (excluding the ionomer) is preferably an olefin resin from the viewpoint of recyclability, and more preferably EVA from the viewpoints of recyclability and adhesive strength. The vinyl acetate content of the EVA is the same as that described in "(1) Base layer 11."

The upper limit of the content of the ionomer is, for example, 100 parts by mass. The content of EVA in the surface layer 13 may be 0 parts by mass, but from the viewpoint of adhesive strength, it is preferably 5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 15 parts by mass or more, assuming that the entire surface layer 13 is 100 parts by mass. The upper limit of the EVA content is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 40 parts by mass or less, 30 parts by mass or less, or 25 parts by mass or less.

[0025] The MFR of the surface layer 13 is not particularly limited.

The lower limit of the MFR of the surface layer 13 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 0.1 g / 10 min or more. The MFR of the surface layer 13 can be measured, for example, in accordance with JIS K7210:1999.

[0026] From the viewpoint of abrasion resistance, the thickness of the surface layer 13 is 0.15 mm or more, preferably 0.2 mm or more, more preferably 0.25 mm or more, even more preferably 0.3 mm or more, and particularly preferably 0.35 mm or more. From the viewpoint of formability and cost, the thickness of the surface layer 13 is preferably 5 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm or less, even more preferably 2 mm or less, and particularly preferably 1 mm or less.

[0027] (3) Configuration of the laminated sheet 10 The laminate sheet 10 has a Taber abrasion of 15 mg or less in the surface layer 13, measured in accordance with JIS K7204:1999 under conditions of an abrasion wheel CS-17, a rotation speed of 60 rpm, a rotation number of 1000, and an applied force of 9.8 N. The Taber abrasion of the surface layer 13 is preferably 10 mg or less, more preferably 8 mg or less, and even more preferably 5 mg or less. The lower limit of the Taber abrasion of the surface layer 13 may be 0 mg.

[0028] The maximum peel stress of the surface layer 13 is not particularly limited. The stress of the surface layer 13 can be appropriately set depending on the application, etc. The maximum peel stress of the surface layer 13 measured by a T-peel test (JIS K 6854-3:1999) may be 0 N, preferably 0.1 N or more, more preferably 0.4 N or more, and even more preferably 1 N or more. The maximum peel stress of the surface layer 13 is usually 50 N or less. The T-peel test (JIS K 6854-3:1999) is performed by cutting a 25 mm wide test piece from the laminate sheet 10. The maximum peel stress is the maximum value of the peel stress when the base layer 11 and the surface layer 13 are peeled off at a test speed of 100 mm / min and a test environment temperature of 23°C.

[0029] In order to ensure the maximum peel stress, it is preferable that both the base layer 11 and the surface layer 13 of the laminate sheet 10 contain ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ensuring the maximum peel stress, it is preferable that at least one of the base material layer 11 and the surface layer 13 has an uneven shape on the lamination surface. The uneven shape is a shape imparted by, for example, graining or embossing. The lamination surface of the base material layer 11 is the surface on which the surface layer 13 is laminated. The lamination surface of the surface layer 13 is the surface on which the base material layer 11 is laminated.

[0030] From the viewpoint of recyclability, the laminate sheet 10 is preferably a laminate sheet whose main component is a polyolefin-based resin. The content of the polyolefin-based resin in the laminate sheet 10 is preferably 80 parts by mass or more, more preferably 90 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 95 parts by mass or more, assuming that the entire laminate sheet 10 is 100 parts by mass. The upper limit of the content of the polyolefin-based resin is not particularly limited and may be 100 parts by mass. In other words, the laminate sheet 10 is preferably composed only of a polyolefin-based resin.

[0031] The use of the laminate sheet 10 is not particularly limited. Because the laminate sheet 10 is abrasion resistant, it is suitable for various applications requiring abrasion resistance. The present disclosure is suitable, for example, as a component transport member including the laminate sheet 10. The form of the component transport member is not particularly limited. The component transport member may be, for example, any of a component transport packaging material, a component transport tray, and a component transport case. The component transport member may have a surface that comes into contact with the component formed by a surface layer 13. The type of component to be transported is not particularly limited, and examples include various metal components, electronic components, etc. The present disclosure is also suitable, for example, as a vehicle interior material including the laminate sheet 10.

[0032] The laminate sheet 10 may be used as is or may be molded before use. From the viewpoint of moldability, the laminate sheet 10 is suitable as a laminate sheet for molding, and is particularly suitable as a laminate sheet for vacuum molding. The technology of the present disclosure also encompasses a molded product configured with the above-mentioned laminate sheet 10.

[0033] 2. Manufacturing method of laminated sheet 10 The method for manufacturing the laminate sheet 10 is not particularly limited. For example, a coextrusion T-die melt extrusion method can be used to manufacture the laminate sheet 10. Specifically, the raw materials for the base layer 11 and the surface layer 13 are melt-kneaded using separate extruders. The melt-kneaded resin is extruded in a layered state from a single T-die connected to each extruder, and then cooled to obtain the laminate sheet 10. The laminate sheet 10 thus obtained has the base layer 11 and the surface layer 13 fused together. Therefore, even if the laminate sheet 10 does not have an adhesive layer, the adhesive strength can be suitably improved. Furthermore, since the laminate sheet 10 does not have an adhesive layer between the base layer 11 and the surface layer 13, it is easier to manufacture using a coextrusion T-die melt extrusion method than a multilayer sheet having an adhesive layer.

[0034] In addition to the coextrusion T-die melt extrusion method, the extrusion lamination method may also be used to manufacture the laminate sheet 10. Specifically, the raw materials for the surface layer 13 are melt-kneaded using an extruder and extruded into a sheet to prepare the sheet-shaped surface layer 13. At this time, the extruded sheet-shaped surface layer 13 may be passed through an embossing roll having an uneven pattern on the roll surface to impart an uneven shape to the lamination surface. The raw materials for the base layer 11 are melt-kneaded using an extruder, extruded into a sheet, and directly laminated to the surface of the surface layer 13, followed by cooling to obtain the laminate sheet 10.

[0035] 3. Effects of this embodiment Conventionally, a technique for using a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer in a surface layer to improve the abrasion resistance of a sheet surface has been known. When a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer is used in the surface layer, an adhesive layer is generally provided between the base layer and the surface layer to ensure adhesive strength between the base layer and the surface layer. In the laminated sheet 10 of this embodiment, by using an ionomer for the surface layer 13 and making the thickness of the surface layer 13 a predetermined value or more, the substrate layer 11 and the surface layer 13 can be bonded together without an adhesive layer while ensuring sufficient abrasion resistance.

[0036] Furthermore, the laminate sheet 10 of this embodiment uses an ionomer for the surface layer 13, and does not have an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the type of resin used for the surface layer 13 and the base layer 11, the proportion of polyolefin resin in the entire laminate sheet 10 can be suitably increased, making it easier to reuse the laminate sheet 10 as a recycled material. [Example]

The extruded raw materials for each layer were merged in a feed block installed immediately before the T-die and then fed into the T-die. They were expanded in width by a single manifold within the T-die at approximately 190°C-220°C, obtaining a multilayer sheet in which the base layer and surface layer were bonded by an adhesive layer. The thickness of each layer was adjusted to the dimensions listed in Table 2. In this manner, the laminate sheet of Comparative Example 1 was obtained.

[0047] 2. Evaluation Method (1) Taber abrasion A 100 mm x 100 mm sample was obtained from the laminate sheet of each Example and Comparative Example. For each sample, the Taber abrasion of the surface layer was measured in accordance with JIS K7204:1999 using an abrasion wheel CS-17 (manufactured by Taber Industries) at a rotation speed of 60 rpm, 1000 rotations, and an applied force of 9.8 N. During the measurement, refacing was performed using an abrasion wheel S-11 (manufactured by Taber Industries) at a rotation speed of 60 rpm, 50 rotations, and an applied force of 9.8 N.

[0048] The abrasion resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria: the smaller the Taber abrasion amount, the better the abrasion resistance. A: Taber abrasion is 5 mg or less. B: Taber abrasion amount is more than 5 mg and 10 mg or less. C: Taber abrasion amount is more than 10 mg and 15 mg or less. D: Taber abrasion amount exceeds 15 mg.

[0049] (2) MFR The MFR of the surface layer of each example and comparative example was measured in accordance with JIS K7210:1999 at 190°C under a load of 2.16 kg, and a value of 0.1 g / 10 min or more and 3.0 g / 10 min or less was rated as "good." The MFR of the substrate layer of each example and comparative example was measured in accordance with JIS K6921-1:2018 at 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg, and a value of 0.1 g / 10 min or more and 3.0 g / 10 min or less was rated as "suitable." If MFR was not measured, it was marked as "-".

[0050] (3) Vacuum formability A 200 mm × 200 mm sample was obtained from each laminate sheet of each Example and Comparative Example. Each sample was vacuum-formed using a simple vacuum forming machine (manufactured by Formech International Limited, product name "Compac Mini"). Specifically, the sample was heated from both the front and back sides using a far-infrared heating device until the surface temperature reached approximately 150°C. The heated sample was placed in a mold heated to 80°C, and the air pressure was reduced using a vacuum pump to 0.01 mPa or less so that the sample adhered tightly to the mold. After 10 seconds, the sample was removed from the mold to obtain a vacuum-formed molded product. The laminate sheets were evaluated according to the following criteria. Good: No tears or other damage were observed and vacuum forming is possible. Acceptable: There are tears, but vacuum forming is possible. Not possible: Vacuum forming is not possible.

[0051] (4) Recyclability The suitability of the laminated sheet for recycling as a raw material for polyolefin resin was evaluated according to the following criteria. Suitable: The content of polyolefin resin (including ionomer) in the laminate sheet is 80 parts by mass or more, with the entire laminate sheet being 100 parts by mass. Unsuitable: The content of polyolefin resin (including ionomer) in the laminate sheet is less than 80 parts by mass, with the entire laminate sheet being taken as 100 parts by mass.

[0052] 3.Results The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. (1) Fulfillment of each requirement in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples The laminate sheets of Examples 1-12 satisfy all of the following requirements (a)-(d). In contrast, the laminate sheet of Comparative Example 1 does not satisfy requirements (a) and (b). Requirement (a): A laminated sheet having a base layer and a surface layer directly laminated on the base layer. Requirement (b): The surface layer contains an ionomer in which the metal ion is Zn. Requirement (c): The thickness of the surface layer is 0.15 mm or more. Requirement (d): The Taber abrasion of the surface layer is 15 mg or less, measured in accordance with JIS K7204:1999 using a CS-17 abrasive wheel at a rotation speed of 60 rpm, 1000 revolutions per minute, and an applied force of 9.8 N.

[0053] Furthermore, among Examples 1 to 12, the laminate sheets of Examples 3 to 6 and 9 to 12 also satisfy the following requirements. Requirement (e): Both the base layer and the surface layer contain ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.

[0054] Furthermore, among Examples 1 to 12, the laminate sheets of Examples 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 also satisfy the following requirements. Requirement (f): At least one of the base layer and the surface layer has an uneven surface on the lamination surface.

[0055] (2) Consideration The laminate sheets of Examples 1-12 were able to achieve sufficient abrasion resistance, either equal to or better than that of Comparative Example 1, while omitting the adhesive layer between the abrasion-resistant layer and the base layer, although it was inferior to that of Comparative Example 1. Since the laminate sheets of Examples 1-12 are composed only of polyolefin resins (including ionomers), they can be suitably recycled as polyolefin resin raw materials. On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 is not suitable for recycling as a polyolefin resin raw material because raw materials other than polyolefin resins are used for the surface layer and adhesive layer.

[0056] Furthermore, examples (e.g., Example 1 and Example 2) in which the surface layer and base layer have the same composition and thickness but differ in the presence or absence of an uneven surface are compared. Comparison of examples in which the surface layer and base layer have the same composition and thickness but differ in the presence or absence of an uneven surface suggests that satisfying requirement (e) can further improve adhesive strength. Furthermore, a comparison between Example 1 and Example 3, and a comparison between Example 7 and Example 9 suggests that the adhesive strength can be further improved by satisfying requirement (f).

[0057] The results of the above examples and comparative examples also suggest that the higher the ionomer content in the surface layer and the thicker the surface layer, the better the abrasion resistance. On the other hand, it was found that the higher the ionomer content in the surface layer, the lower the adhesive strength. Furthermore, it was found that the higher the EVA content in the surface layer, the lower the abrasion resistance, but the higher the adhesive strength. Therefore, the following inventions can also be understood from this disclosure. A laminated sheet having a base layer and a surface layer directly laminated on the base layer, the surface layer contains an ionomer in which the metal ion is Zn; The content of the ionomer in the surface layer is 85 parts by mass or more, where the entire surface layer is 100 parts by mass, The thickness of the surface layer is 0.15 mm or more, A laminated sheet, wherein the Taber abrasion amount of the surface layer is 10 mg or less, measured in accordance with JIS K7204:1999 under conditions of an abrasion wheel CS-17, a rotation speed of 60 rpm, a rotation number of 1000, and an applied force of 9.8 N. A laminated sheet having a base layer and a surface layer directly laminated on the base layer, the surface layer contains an ionomer in which the metal ion is Zn and EVA; The thickness of the surface layer is 0.35 mm or more, A laminated sheet, wherein the Taber abrasion amount of the surface layer is 10 mg or less, measured in accordance with JIS K7204:1999 under conditions of an abrasion wheel CS-17, a rotation speed of 60 rpm, a rotation number of 1000, and an applied force of 9.8 N.

[0058] 4. Effects of the Example According to the above-described embodiments, a laminated sheet having sufficient abrasion resistance can be provided while omitting an adhesive layer between the surface layer and the base layer.
