[0010] 1. Surface material 11: Flat part 12: Recess 13: Boundary between flat and recessed areas P1: Base color area P1 P2: Pattern area P2 (P2': Pattern area P2') DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0012] FIG. 1 shows an example of a front view of the face material of the present invention. The face material of the present invention is a face material having flat portions and recessed portions, and is made by fixing powder particles with a resin component, and exhibits a color tone based on the powder particles. The present invention is characterized in that the powder contains a base color powder component (p1) and a pattern color powder component (p2) of a different color from the base color powder component (p1), thereby making it possible to present a color tone based on the base color powder component (p1) and a color tone based on the pattern color powder component (p2) of a different color from the base color powder component (p1).

[0013] When viewed from the front, the surface material of the present invention has a plurality of discontinuous recesses on its surface, and has a base color region P1 [Figure 1: P1] based on a base color powder or granular component (p1), and a pattern region P2 [Figure 1: P2] based on a pattern color powder or granular component (p2). When viewed from the front, such a surface material has a recessed pattern made up of multiple discontinuous recesses, a base color region P1 [Figure 1: P1], and a pattern region P2 [Figure 1: P2], and a design that is a mixture of these is visible.

[0014] Specifically, when viewed from the front, the flat portion of the face material has a base color region P1 [P1 in FIG. 1] and a pattern region P2 [P2 in FIG. 1], and the recessed portion has the base color region P1. In such a case, for example, as in the Y-Y' portion of Figure 1, a depression pattern is formed in which flat portions and depressions [flat portions / depressions] are mixed, with depressions having [base color region P1 / base color region P1] and depressions having [pattern region P2 / base color region P1]. By mixing color combinations in this way in the flat portions and recessed portions, the sense of depth of the recessed pattern is enhanced, and a surface material with excellent three-dimensionality can be obtained. In the present invention, the flat portion refers to a region that appears flat when viewed from the front, and is a region other than the recessed portion. As long as the recessed portion is visible, the surface of the flat portion may have minute irregularities or undulations. The recessed portion that appears from the front refers to the bottom of the recessed portion.

[0015] The shape of the pattern imparted by the pattern region P2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include islands, stripes, lines, grids, spots (dots), etc., with the stripes shown in Fig. 1 being preferred in the present invention. Examples of patterns formed on the surface material by the pattern region P2 include stone-like patterns, rock-like patterns, wood-grain patterns, joint patterns, tile-like patterns, brick-like patterns, geometric patterns, random patterns, etc. In the present invention, stone-like patterns, rock-like patterns, wood-grain patterns, etc. are preferred.

[0016] The shape of the recesses may be constant (identical) or different. Examples of the shape of the recesses when viewed from the front include polygons such as triangles, quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and diamonds), pentagons, and hexagons, shapes with curved surfaces such as circles, ellipses, and drop shapes, and irregular shapes, as well as shapes that are combinations of these.

[0017] The distribution (arrangement) of the multiple recesses may be regular or random. In the present invention, it is preferable that the multiple recesses are randomly distributed to form a recess pattern. By combining such a recess pattern with the pattern imparted to the surface material by the pattern region P2, a natural pattern reminiscent of natural stone, soil, plants, etc. can be expressed, resulting in a surface material with even more excellent aesthetics. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the multiple recesses are distributed along the striped pattern imparted to the surface material by the pattern region P2.

[0018] The recessed pattern is not particularly limited and may have various shapes, such as a stone-like pattern, a rock-like pattern, a wood-like pattern, a joint pattern, a tile-like pattern, a brick-like pattern, a geometric pattern, a random pattern, etc. Among these, the recessed pattern is suitable for a pattern having a shape such as a burrow-like, worm-eaten, or bark-like pattern, which is formed in natural stone, soil, plants, etc. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the recessed pattern is suitable for expressing a natural-looking pattern in which a plurality of recesses such as burrow-like, worm-eaten, or bark-like patterns are distributed along the striped pattern of the pattern region P2, such as a stone-like pattern (particularly a travertine pattern) or a wood-like pattern (for example, a bark pattern or a knotty wood pattern).

[0019] The size of the recesses (the size of each recess) may be appropriately set depending on the desired pattern, but the maximum diameter (longer diameter) is preferably 0.2 to 50 mm, more preferably 0.5 to 30 mm, and the depth of the recesses is preferably 0.1 to 5 mm, more preferably 0.2 to 3 mm. In the present invention, "α to β" is synonymous with "α or more and β or less."

[0020] Figure 2 shows an example of a schematic cross-sectional view (enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the recess) of the X-X' portion in Figure 1. In the face material of Figure 2, the upper side of the cross section is the surface of the face material. As shown in FIG. 2, the face material of the present invention has a flat portion [FIG. 2: 11] and a recessed portion [FIG. 2: 12] when viewed in the cross-sectional direction. When viewed from the cross-sectional direction, the face material is formed by continuously fixing a base color powder component (p1) with a resin component, and fixing a pattern color powder component (p2) of a different color from the base color powder component (p1) on the surface layer so as to form an arbitrary pattern. Specifically, the surface layer of the face material has a region (the base color region P1) where the pattern color powder component (p2) is not fixed, and a region (pattern region P2) where the pattern color powder component (p2) is fixed. As shown in FIG. 2(1), the pattern region P2 may have a constant density of the pattern color powder component (p2) (the ratio of the pattern color powder component (p2) per unit area in the cross section of the face material), but it is preferable that the pattern region P2 has both low and high density regions of the pattern color powder component (p2), as shown in FIG. 2(2). This allows the shading (intensity) of the color tone to be expressed, further enhancing the three-dimensional effect.

[0021] Furthermore, in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 2(2), it is preferable to have a pattern region P2' [Fig. 2(2): P2'] in which the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is densely fixed at the boundary [Fig. 2:13] between the flat portion [Fig. 2:11] and the recessed portion [Fig. 2:12]. Specifically, the pattern region P2' is in a state in which the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is unevenly distributed at the boundary [Fig. 2:13], and the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is fixed at a higher density than in other regions. In the face material of the present invention having such characteristics, the color based on the pattern color powder component (p2) is strongly visible in the pattern region P2', which emphasizes the sense of depth rather than the actual depth of the recess, further enhancing the three-dimensional effect. In the present invention, the boundary between the flat portion and the recessed portion [Fig. 2: 13] refers to the region (edge ​​of the recessed portion) including at least the portion spanning the flat portion [Fig. 2: 11] and the recessed portion [Fig. 2: 12], as shown in Fig. 2. Furthermore, although the shape of the boundary is shown as an angular shape (a shape where two straight lines intersect at one point) in Fig. 2, it may also be a rounded shape (curved shape), etc.

[0022] FIG. 3 shows an example of a schematic cross-sectional view (enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the recess) taken along the line YY' in FIG. As shown in Figure 3, in the face material of the present invention, it is sufficient that at least one of the recesses has the pattern region P2' at the boundary, and it is also possible to have recesses that do not have the pattern region P2' at the boundary. The formation of such a recess pattern can further enhance the three-dimensional effect.

[0023] The thickness of the face material of the present invention (thickness of the flat portion) is preferably 0.5 to 10 mm, more preferably 0.8 to 5 mm. Even with such a thin face material, the above-mentioned effects make it possible to express beautiful appearances with a three-dimensional effect and natural patterns.

[0024] The components constituting the face material of the present invention will be described. The facing material of the present invention is formed by fixing powder particles with a resin component. The powder particles are preferably granular inorganic particles whose base material is inorganic, and both natural and artificial particles can be used. A preferred embodiment of the granular inorganic particles includes at least granular colored inorganic particles. Such granular colored inorganic particles are particularly preferred, with opaque particles having a light transmittance of less than 3%, and more preferably particles having a light transmittance of 2% or less. Specific examples of such granular colored inorganic particles include marble, granite, serpentine, granite, sandstone, slate, basalt, gabbro, diorite, andesite, limestone, and their crushed products, crushed ceramics, crushed ceramics, and metal particles. Also usable are fluorite, galesite, feldspar, silica, silica sand, and their crushed products, crushed glass, glass beads, etc., colored to satisfy the above conditions. The powder particle component of the present invention preferably includes at least colored silica sand.

[0025] The light transmittance is the total light transmittance measured by a turbidimeter. In this measurement, a sample of granular inorganic particles is filled into a transparent glass cell with an inner thickness of 5 mm, and then water is gradually added. After that, air bubbles in the cell are removed by shaking.

[0026] In the present invention, the powder or granule may contain granular transparent inorganic particles in addition to the granular colored inorganic particles. The use of such granular transparent inorganic particles is preferable in terms of improving aesthetic appearance. The granular transparent inorganic particles preferably have a light transmittance of 3% or more, more preferably 3 to 50%, and even more preferably 10 to 30%. Examples of granular transparent inorganic particles include silica, glazing, feldspar, quartz, etc., and crushed products thereof, crushed glass, glass beads, etc., and either colorless or colored types can be used as long as they satisfy the above-mentioned light transmittance.

[0027] The particle size of the powder or granules can be appropriately set within a range that allows recesses to be formed in the facing material. In the present invention, it is desirable that the powder or granules contain powder or granules with a particle size at least smaller than the size of the recesses. The particle size of the powder or granules is preferably 0.01 mm to 5 mm, more preferably 0.02 mm to 2 mm, and even more preferably 0.03 to 0.8 mm. The range of design possibilities can be expanded by combining various powder or granules with different particle sizes. The particle size of the powder or granules is measured by sieving using a metal mesh sieve as specified in JIS Z8801-1:2000.

[0028] In the present invention, the base color powder component (p1) is prepared using one or more, preferably two or more, selected from the above powder components so as to provide the base color of the facing material. The pattern color powder component (p2), which is a color different from the base color powder component (p1), is prepared using one or more selected from the above powder components so as to provide an accent color that imparts a pattern (design) to the facing material. The different colors may be any color tone that can be visually recognized as different. For example, the color difference (ΔE) between the base color powder or granular component (p1) and the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is preferably 0.5 or more, more preferably 0.5 to 50, even more preferably 0.8 to 30, and particularly preferably 1 to 20.

[0029] The color difference (ΔE) is a value measured using a color difference meter, and can be calculated from the L*, a*, and b* values ​​using the following formula: <Formula> ΔE={(L *1 -L *2 ) 2 +(a *1 -a *2 ) 2 +(b *1 -b *2 ) 2} 0.5 In the formula, L *1 , a *1 , b *1 are the L of the base color powder component (p1), respectively. * , a * , b * .L *2 , a *2 , b *2 are the L of the pattern color powder component (p2), respectively. * , a * , b * The L*, a*, and b* values ​​of the powder or granular component can be calculated from the L*, a*, and b* values ​​(average values ​​of three randomly selected points) of the coating when a composition prepared by mixing 100 parts by mass of the powder or granular component with 36 parts by mass of acrylic resin emulsion (solid content 50% by mass) is applied to a standard white paper so as to give a dry film thickness of 2 mm, and the coating is dried for 48 hours under standard conditions (temperature 25°C, relative humidity 50%; the same applies below).

[0030] It is desirable that the color tone based on the base color powder component (p1) and the color tone based on the pattern color powder component (p2) each exhibit a color tone obtained by juxtaposition color mixing. Juxtaposition color mixing is when, when an observer views the colors from a certain distance or more, multiple juxtaposed colors appear to blend together without being individually distinguishable. In the present invention, juxtaposition color mixing of two or more types (two colors) of powder or granules is adopted, rather than color mixing using pigments, dyes, etc., thereby enhancing a natural feel, etc.

[0031] The resin component constituting the facing material of the present invention includes at least a synthetic resin. It is preferable that the synthetic resin has a transparent coating. Examples of the form of such synthetic resin include solvent-soluble resin, non-aqueous dispersion resin, solventless resin, aqueous dispersion resin, and water-soluble resin. Examples of the type of resin include acrylic resin, urethane resin, epoxy resin, vinyl chloride resin, vinyl acetate resin, acrylic silicone resin, fluororesin, silicon resin, polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose derivatives, and the like, as well as composites thereof. Such resins may have the property of undergoing a crosslinking reaction.

[0032] The ratio of the synthetic resin, calculated as solid content, is preferably 1 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 30 parts by mass, and even more preferably 3 to 20 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total powder and granules. Such a ratio facilitates the creation of a design that takes advantage of the aesthetic appeal of the interconnected (aggregated) powder and granules. In other words, a surface material made of interconnected (aggregated) powder and granules can be obtained. Such an interconnected (aggregated) powder and granule surface material can have fine irregularities (e.g., microscopic irregularities with a height difference of less than 0.1 mm) originating from the powder and granules on the flat and recessed portions. This reduces gloss, making it easier to achieve a matte appearance, resulting in a surface material that can express a more natural-looking pattern.

[0033] The resin component may contain components (additives) other than synthetic resins as needed, as long as the effects of the present invention are not significantly impaired. Examples of such components include plasticizers, anti-algae agents, antibacterial agents, deodorizers, adsorbents, flame retardants, thickeners, antifoaming agents, crosslinking agents, film-forming aids, antifreeze agents, coloring pigments, extender pigments, photoluminescent pigments, phosphorescent pigments, fluorescent pigments, aggregates, fibers, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, and catalysts.

[0034] The surface material of the present invention may also have a transparent coating layer on the outermost surface. Such a transparent coating layer may be provided on the surface of the surface material (preferably the entire surface of the surface material). The transparent coating layer may be formed from a transparent coating material containing a resin such as an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an acrylic silicone resin, a fluororesin, a silicone resin, or a composite thereof. Such a transparent coating material may contain, for example, a water repellent, a stain-reducing agent, a matting agent, a coloring pigment, etc. The transparent coating layer may be a colored transparent coating layer as long as the effects of the present invention are not significantly impaired. When the transparent coating material contains a coloring pigment, a colored transparent coating layer can be formed.

[0035] In the present invention, by providing such a transparent coating layer, the weather resistance, durability, etc. of the surface material can be improved, and the texture, gloss, etc. of the surface can also be adjusted.

[0036] The face material of the present invention may have a reinforcing material. Such a reinforcing material can be provided inside and / or on the back surface of the face material. Examples of reinforcing materials include woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, ceramic paper, synthetic paper, mesh, cloth, gypsum board, plywood, slate board, and metal plate. The reinforcing material may be made of two or more of the above materials. The use of such a reinforcing material can increase the strength of the face material.

[0037] (Manufacturing method) The method for manufacturing the face material of the present invention is not particularly limited, and various methods can be used. One example is a method using a mold. In this method, a mold is first prepared on which convex portions (portions that will become concave portions of the face material) corresponding to the desired pattern are formed. The mold is not particularly limited, but molds made of silicone resin, urethane resin, etc., or molds provided with release paper, etc., can be used. When manufacturing using a mold, the inner surface of the mold becomes the surface of the face material, so by adjusting the shape of the inner surface of the mold, the desired concave pattern can be imparted to the surface of the face material.

[0038] Using the above mold, for example, [1] A method in which a pattern color powder component (p2) is scattered on the inner surface of a formwork so as to form a desired pattern, and then a composition containing a base color powder component (p1) and a resin component (hereinafter also referred to as a "base composition") is applied to the entire inner surface of the formwork, and the pattern color powder component (p2) and the base composition are integrated and hardened, and then the formwork is demolded; [2] A method in which a composition containing a pattern color powder component (p2) and a resin component (hereinafter also referred to as a "pattern composition") is applied to the inner surface of a formwork in a desired pattern, and after curing as necessary, a base composition is applied to the entire inner surface of the formwork, and after curing, the composition is demolded; In both of the above [1] and [2], the formwork is set up so that the inner surface faces upward, and spraying, coating, etc., is carried out. The surface material obtained by the above methods has a pattern in which the convex parts on the inner surface of the formwork are inverted to form a concave pattern.

[0039] In the present invention, the above method [1] is preferred. When the pattern color powder component (p2) is sprayed, it is sprayed so as to form a desired pattern, for example, in stripes, spots, etc. In the present invention, spraying in stripes is preferred. In the present invention, by scattering the pattern color powder component (p2), the distribution of the pattern color powder component (p2) easily forms sparse and dense areas, making it possible to impart a natural pattern. Furthermore, by scattering the pattern color powder component (p2) near the convex parts of the inner surface of the mold, the scattered pattern color powder component (p2) tends to be unevenly distributed and densely distributed (accumulate) at the base of the convex parts. This makes it possible to efficiently form a pattern region P2' in which the pattern color powder component (p2) is densely fixed. On the other hand, the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is less likely to accumulate at the tops of the convex portions (portions that will become the bottoms of the concave portions of the face material), so the concave portions of the resulting face material (particularly the bottoms of the concave portions) tend to have the base color region P1. In particular, when the convex portions of the formwork are inclined or rounded (for example, arched, parabolic, curved, etc.), the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is more likely to be unevenly distributed at the bases of the convex portions, and the pattern color powder or granular component (p2) is less likely to accumulate at the tops of the convex portions. This allows for the full expression of a beautiful, natural-looking pattern with a three-dimensional effect, etc.

[0040] The amount of the pattern color powder component (p2) to be sprayed is preferably 5 to 200 g / m 2 , more preferably 10 to 100 g / m 2 In such a case, the above-mentioned action can be fully obtained, and the effect of the present invention can be further enhanced. After the pattern color powder component (p2) is sprayed, a wetting agent such as a resin component or water can be sprayed, if necessary.

[0041] The loading of the base composition is preferably 1 to 10 kg / m 2 , more preferably 3 to 8 kg / m 2 In such a case, the effects of the present invention can be fully obtained. In filling the base composition, known tools such as a spray, roller, trowel, brush, reciprocator, coater, etc. can be used.

[0042] Also, when introducing reinforcement materials, e.g. a method in which, after filling the base composition, a reinforcing material is embedded and / or laminated before hardening, and then hardened; A method in which a reinforcing material is laminated on the back surface of the face material with an adhesive or the like after the base composition has hardened (before or after demolding); etc.

[0043] Furthermore, when a transparent coating layer is provided, for example, a transparent coating material can be applied to the surface (preferably the entire surface) of the face material after demolding and then dried to provide the transparent coating layer. The amount of the transparent coating material applied is preferably 5 to 200 g / m 2 , more preferably 10 to 150 g / m 2 is.

[0044] The surface material of the present invention preferably has a gloss at 60 degrees of 8 or less, more preferably 1 to 7, and even more preferably 1.5 to 6. If the gloss is within this range, a calm and elegant aesthetic can be imparted. The surface material of the present invention preferably has a gloss at 85 degrees of 8 or less, more preferably 1 to 7, and even more preferably 1.5 to 6. Furthermore, the difference in gloss at 60 degrees and 85 degrees is preferably 2 or less, more preferably 1.5 or less, and even more preferably 1 or less. By ensuring that the gloss levels at 60 degrees and 85 degrees fall within the above ranges, unevenness in gloss due to the viewing angle (direction) is suppressed, and the appearance can be further improved with a more subdued feel and aesthetic appeal. The gloss level in the present invention is a value measured in accordance with JIS K5600-4-7 "Specular Gloss Level." Specifically, it is the 60° or 85° specular gloss level measured with a gloss meter, and is the average value of measurements taken at 10 random locations on the surface of the surface material.

[0045] The facing material of the present invention can be used as a material for decorating buildings, for example, walls (exterior and interior), pillars, etc. The dimensions of the face material can be set appropriately within the range of, for example, length x width = 200 mm to 3000 mm x 200 mm to 3000 mm. The thickness of the face material is preferably 0.5 to 10 mm, more preferably 0.8 to 5 mm. When fixing the surface material of the present invention to a wall surface or the like, for example, adhesive, adhesive tape, nails, screws, bolts, rails, etc. may be used. Examples of substrates that constitute building walls and the like include concrete, mortar, siding boards, extruded boards, gypsum boards, perlite boards, plywood, bricks, plastic boards, metal boards, glass, porcelain tiles, etc. These substrates may have a coating (existing coating, primer coating, etc.) already formed on their surfaces, or may have wallpaper attached, etc. Furthermore, by imparting flexibility (pliability), the surface material of the present invention can be easily fixed (applied) to the substrate even if it has a curved surface.

[0054] Example 1 A rectangular mold (30 cm x 60 cm) capable of forming a travertine pattern having multiple convex portions (height of the convex portions: 0.2 to 2 mm, major diameter of the convex portions: 0.2 to 10 mm) on a flat portion was used. Pattern composition 1 was applied to the mold in stripes (mass per unit area: 100 g / m). 2 ), and pattern composition 1 was unevenly distributed at the base of the convex portion of the formwork, and then dried and cured (at 65°C for 30 minutes). Next, the base composition 1 was applied (mass per unit area: 5.0 kg / m 2) and hardened (at 65°C for 24 hours), and then demolded to produce face material (I) (dimensions: 300 mm x 600 mm, thickness: 3 mm). The resulting surface material had flat portions and recessed portions, and when viewed from the front, the flat portions had a base color region P1 based on the base color powder granular component (p1-1) and a striped pattern region P2 based on the pattern color powder granular component (p2-1), and the bottom of the recessed portion had the base color region P1. This surface material had a natural feel, and the presence of the base color region P1 at the bottom of the recessed portion emphasized the sense of depth and gave it an excellent three-dimensional effect. In addition, the boundary between the flat portion and the recessed portion had a pattern region P2' in which the pattern color powder granular component (p2-1) was densely fixed, resulting in a pattern with an excellent natural feel.

[0055] Example 2 A rectangular mold (30 cm x 60 cm) was used as the mold, which allows the formation of a travertine pattern with multiple convex portions (height of the convex portions: 0.2 to 2 mm, major diameter of the convex portions: 0.2 to 10 mm) on the flat portion. The pattern color powder component (p2-1) was scattered in stripes on the mold (mass per unit area: 60 g / m). 2 ) and unevenly distributed at the base of the convex part of the formwork, and then the base composition 1 was applied (mass per unit area 5.0 kg / m 2 ) and hardened (at 65°C for 24 hours), and then demolded to produce face material (II) (dimensions: 300 mm x 600 mm, thickness: 3 mm). The obtained face material had flat portions and recessed portions, and in a front view, the flat portions had a base color region P1 based on the base color powder granular component (p1-1) and a striped pattern region P2 based on the pattern color powder granular component (p2-1), and the bottoms of the recesses had the base color region P1. This face material had a natural feel, and the presence of the base color region P1 at the bottoms of the recesses emphasized the sense of depth and gave it an excellent three-dimensional effect. In addition, the boundary between the flat portions and the recesses had a pattern region P2' where the pattern color powder granular component (p2-1) was densely fixed, and a striped pattern was formed in the flat portions due to the density of the pattern color powder granular component (p2-1), resulting in a pattern that was even more natural in appearance.

[0056] Example 3 A rectangular mold (30 cm x 60 cm) was used as the mold, which allows the formation of a travertine pattern with multiple convex portions (height of the convex portions: 0.2 to 2 mm, major diameter of the convex portions: 0.2 to 10 mm) on the flat portion. The pattern color powder component (p2-2) was scattered in stripes on the mold (mass per unit area: 60 g / m). 2 ) and unevenly distributed at the base of the convex portion of the formwork, and then the base composition 2 was applied (mass per unit area 5.0 kg / m 2 ) and hardened (at 65°C for 24 hours), and then demolded to produce face material (II) (dimensions: 300 mm x 600 mm, thickness: 3 mm). The obtained face material had flat portions and recessed portions, and in a front view, the flat portions had a base color region P1 based on the base color powder granular component (p1-2) and a striped pattern region P2 based on the pattern color powder granular component (p2-2), and the bottoms of the recessed portions had the base color region P1. This face material had a natural feel, and the presence of the base color region P1 at the bottoms of the recessed portions emphasized the sense of depth and gave it an excellent three-dimensional effect. In addition, the boundary between the flat portions and the recessed portions had a pattern region P2' where the pattern color powder granular component (p2-2) was densely fixed, and a striped pattern due to the density of the pattern color powder granular component (p2-2) was formed in the flat portions, resulting in a pattern that was even more natural in appearance. moreover,

[0057] Example 4 A rectangular mold (300 mm x 600 mm) was used as the mold, which could form a travertine pattern with multiple convex portions (height of the convex portions: 0.2 to 2 mm, long diameter of the convex portions: 0.2 to 10 mm) on the flat portion. The pattern color powder component (p2-3) was scattered in stripes on the mold (mass per unit area: 60 g / m). 2 ) and unevenly distribute it at the base of the convex part of the formwork, and then apply the base composition 3 (mass per unit area 3 kg / m 2 ), and then a mesh is laminated on top of it, and the base composition 3 is again applied (mass per unit area 2 kg / m 2 ) and hardened (at 65°C for 24 hours), and then demolded to produce face material (II) (dimensions: 300 mm x 600 mm, thickness: 3 mm). The obtained surface material had flat portions and recessed portions, and in a front view had a base color region P1 based on the base color powder granular component (p1-3) and a striped pattern region P2 based on the pattern color powder granular component (p2-3), with the bottom of the recessed portion having the base color region P1. This surface material had a natural feel, and the presence of the base color region P1 at the bottom of the recessed portion emphasized the sense of depth and gave it an excellent three-dimensional effect.
