Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a decorative sheet and a transfer film. [Background technology]

[0002] Decorative sheets and transfer films with designs are used to decorate building materials, furniture, home appliances, and the like.

[0003] Plastics are often used as the main component of decorative sheets and transfer films. Petroleum-derived plastics are widely used, but these are not desirable from the perspective of reducing environmental impact.

[0004] Therefore, biomass-derived plastics, which are made from renewable biological resources, are being considered for use in decorative sheets as a material that has a lower environmental impact than petroleum-derived plastics.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a decorative sheet comprising, in this order, a colored thermoplastic resin layer, an adhesive resin layer, a transparent thermoplastic resin layer, and a surface protective layer, wherein the colored thermoplastic resin layer and the transparent thermoplastic resin layer are each resin layers formed from a resin composition containing a biomass-derived polyolefin, and the surface protective layer contains a biomass-derived component.

[0006] Furthermore, decorative sheets and transfer films are used to protect architectural interior materials for homes and public facilities, architectural exterior components such as entrance doors, surfaces of building fixtures, and surface materials for home appliances, and therefore may be used outdoors in places exposed to sunlight, wind, and rain, and therefore require extremely high weather resistance.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-122232 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental impact, if a biomass-derived component is included in the surface protective layer of a decorative sheet, there is a problem in that it is not possible to impart excellent weather resistance by selecting a resin containing a biomass-derived component that constitutes the surface protective layer.

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a decorative sheet and a transfer film that have excellent light resistance even when a surface protective layer containing a biomass-derived component is formed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The present inventors focused on the resin components and weather resistant agents contained in the surface protective layer and discovered that a decorative sheet with excellent weather resistance can be obtained by having a surface protective layer that contains at least one biomass-derived component and a cross-linked curable resin containing at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, as well as a specific ultraviolet absorber and light stabilizer, thereby completing the present invention.

[0011] That is, the present invention provides a decorative sheet comprising at least a transparent resin layer and a surface protective layer, wherein the surface protective layer contains a cross-linked curable resin as a main component, an ultraviolet absorber, and a light stabilizer, the cross-linked curable resin containing at least one biomass-derived component and at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, the ultraviolet absorber containing an ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton, and the light stabilizer containing a reactive light stabilizer.

[0012] In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the cross-linking curable resin preferably further contains at least one type of urethane (meth)acrylate. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the surface protective layer preferably contains 1.0 part by mass or more of the ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton per 100 parts by mass of the cross-linking curable resin. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the surface protective layer preferably contains 1.0 part by mass or more of the reactive light stabilizer as the light stabilizer per 100 parts by mass of the crosslinking curable resin. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton is preferably a hydroxyphenyltriazine-based ultraviolet absorber. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the surface protective layer preferably has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, the surface protective layer preferably further contains an inorganic filler. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a design layer and a base sheet in this order on the side of the transparent resin layer opposite to the side on which the surface protective layer is provided, via an adhesive layer. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, it is preferable that at least one of the substrate sheet, adhesive layer, and transparent resin layer contains a biomass-derived polyolefin. In the decorative sheet of the present invention, it is preferable that the surface having the surface protective layer has an uneven shape.

[0013] The present invention also preferably relates to a transfer film comprising the decorative sheet of the present invention as a transfer layer and a releasable support on the side of the surface protective layer opposite to the side on which the transparent resin layer is provided. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] <Decorative sheet> The decorative sheet of the present invention comprises at least a transparent resin layer and a surface protective layer, and the surface protective layer contains a cross-linked curable resin as a main component, an ultraviolet absorber, and a light stabilizer, and the cross-linked curable resin contains at least one biomass-derived component and at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, the ultraviolet absorber contains an ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton, and the light stabilizer contains a reactive light stabilizer.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view that schematically illustrates one example of the decorative sheet of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the decorative sheet 10 comprises a transparent resin layer 3 and a surface protective layer 4, and comprises a pattern layer 2 and a base sheet 1 on the side of the transparent resin layer 3 opposite to the side on which the surface protective layer 4 is provided. The decorative sheet 10 also has an uneven shape 5 on the side on which the surface protective layer 4 is provided.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a schematic view of another preferred example of the decorative sheet of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the decorative sheet 10 is formed by laminating a transparent resin layer 3 and a surface protective layer 4 via an adhesive auxiliary layer 8 (also referred to as a surface adhesive auxiliary layer). In addition, on the side of the transparent resin layer 3 opposite to the side having the surface protective layer 4, an adhesive layer 7, a pattern layer 2, an adhesive auxiliary layer 6 (also called a pattern auxiliary layer), a base sheet 1, and an adhesive auxiliary layer 9 (also called a back surface adhesive auxiliary layer) are laminated in this order. The decorative sheet 10 also has an uneven shape 5 on the side on which the surface protective layer 4 is provided. Each component of the decorative sheet of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0019] (Surface protective layer) The decorative sheet of the present invention comprises a surface protective layer, which contains a cross-linked curable resin as a main component, an ultraviolet absorber, and a light stabilizer. The cross-linking curable resin may be formed from a composition containing at least one type of (meth)acrylic monomer, and the composition preferably further contains at least one type of urethane (meth)acrylate. In this specification, (meth)acrylate means acrylate and / or methacrylate, and (meth)acrylic means acrylic and / or methacrylic.

[0020] The cross-linked curable resin contains at least one biomass-derived component. The crosslinking effect resin may contain a biomass-derived component as a component different from the at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, or the at least one (meth)acrylic monomer may contain a biomass-derived component, or, when it further contains at least one urethane (meth)acrylate, the urethane (meth)acrylate may contain a biomass-derived component. The resin component containing the biomass-derived component is not particularly limited, but is preferably at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, and when the crosslinking curable resin further contains at least one urethane (meth)acrylate, it is preferable that at least one resin component of the at least one (meth)acrylic monomer and the urethane (meth)acrylate contains a biomass-derived component.

[0021] From the viewpoint of suitably reducing the environmental load, the cross-linking curable resin preferably has a biomass content of 10% or more. The biomass degree is more preferably 15% or more, even more preferably 30% or more, and particularly preferably 40% or more. The upper limit of the biomass degree is not particularly limited, but is preferably 90% or less, more preferably 80% or less, and even more preferably 70% or less, for example.

[0022] In this specification, "biomass content" refers to a value measured by radiocarbon (C14) measurement to determine the content of carbon derived from biomass. Atmospheric carbon dioxide contains a certain proportion of C14 (105.5 pMC), and it is known that the C14 content in plants that grow by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide, such as corn, is also about 105.5 pMC. On the other hand, it is also known that fossil fuels contain almost no C14. Therefore, the proportion of carbon derived from biomass can be calculated by measuring the proportion of C14 contained in the total carbon atoms in the layer of the base sheet of the present invention (or in the transparent resin layer described below). That is, the content of C14 in the layer of the base sheet of the present invention (or in the layer of the transparent resin layer) is P C14 The content of biomass-derived carbon in this case is P bio can be calculated as follows: P bio (%)=(P C14 / 105.5)×100

[0023] The (meth)acrylic monomer contained in the cross-linking curable resin that forms the surface protective layer is not particularly limited, but preferably has a molecular weight of more than 300 and less than 1,000. This is because by having the molecular weight within the above range, it is possible to suppress a decrease in productivity during embossing of the decorative sheet of the present invention. The (meth)acrylic monomer more preferably has a molecular weight of 320 or more, and even more preferably 340 or more. The molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic monomer means the molecular weight calculated from the chemical formula.

[0063] Specific examples of the hydroxyphenyltriazine-based ultraviolet absorber include 2-(2-hydroxy-4-[1-octyloxycarbonylethoxy]phenyl)-4,6-bis(4-phenylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2-[4-[(2-hydroxy-3-dodecyloxypropyl)oxy]-2-hydroxyphenyl]-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-bis[2-hydroxy-4-butoxyphenyl]-6-(2,4-dibutoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2-[ Examples thereof include 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-tridecyloxypropyl)oxy]-2-hydroxyphenyl]-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-[2-(2-ethylhexanoyloxy)ethoxy]phenol, 2-[4-[(2-hydroxy-3-(2'-ethyl)hexyl)oxy]-2-hydroxyphenyl]-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, and compounds represented by the following formula:

[0064] [ka]

[0065] In the surface protective layer, the content of the ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton relative to 100 parts by mass of the cross-linking curable resin is preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 1.0 part by mass or more, even more preferably 2.0 parts by mass or more, and is preferably less than 15 parts by mass, more preferably 10 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 8 parts by mass or less, and still more preferably 6 parts by mass or less. When the lower limit of the content of the ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton relative to 100 parts by mass of the cross-linking curable resin is within the above range, weather resistance tends to be further improved, and when the upper limit is within the above range, bleeding out of the ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton tends to be suppressed.

[0066] The UV absorber contained in the surface protective layer may include, for example, organic UV absorbers such as benzotriazole-based UV absorbers, benzophenone-based UV absorbers, oxybenzophenone-based UV absorbers, salicylic acid ester-based UV absorbers, and cyano(meth)acrylate-based UV absorbers, as well as inorganic UV absorbers such as titanium dioxide, cerium oxide, and zinc oxide, which are different from UV absorbers having a triazine skeleton. When the surface protective layer also contains UV absorbers other than UV absorbers having a triazine skeleton, the total content of the UV absorbers contained in the surface protective layer is preferably less than 15 parts by mass, and more preferably 10 parts by mass or less. This is because having the upper limit of the total content of the UV absorbers in the above range tends to suppress bleed-out of the UV absorbers.

[0067] The decorative sheet of the present invention contains a reactive light stabilizer as the light stabilizer contained in the surface protective layer.

[0068] The reactive light stabilizer is not particularly limited, but may be any reactive light stabilizer having an ethylenic double bond polymerizable with a curable compound capable of forming a crosslinked curable resin of the surface protective layer. The surface protective layer may contain one or more reactive light stabilizers, and may contain both reactive and non-reactive light stabilizers.

[0069] Reactive light stabilizers are usually incorporated into and fixed in the cross-linking curable resin system during the formation of the surface protective layer, and therefore can exert a long-term effect, whereas non-reactive light stabilizers can be mobile within the surface protective layer and therefore can exert an immediate effect.

[0070] The number of ethylenic double bonds in the reactive light stabilizer may be one or two or more.

[0071] Examples of reactive light stabilizers having one ethylenic double bond include 4-(meth)acryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 4-(meth)acryloylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 4-(meth)acryloyloxy-1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine, 4-(meth)acryloylamino-1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine, 4-(meth)acryloyloxy ... -cyano-4-(meth)acryloylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 4-crotonoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 4-crotonoylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, pentamethylpiperidinyl (meth)acrylate, the compound with CAS number 1010692-24-6 and the compound with CAS number 1010692-21-3. Examples of reactive light stabilizers having two or more ethylenic double bonds include 1-(meth)acryloyl-4-(meth)acryloylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 1-(meth)acryloyl-4-cyano-4-(meth)acryloylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 1-crotonoyl-4-crotoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, the compound with CAS number 1954659-42-7, and the compound with CAS number 1010692-23-5.

[0072] Examples of the non-reactive light stabilizer include 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)sebacate, bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl)sebacate, bis(1-octyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)sebacate, bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl)sebacate, and methyl(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl)sebacate. tetrakis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, and bis-(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl)-2-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzyl)-2-n-butylmalonate.

[0073] In the surface protective layer, the content of the reactive light stabilizer relative to 100 parts by mass of the cross-linking curable resin is preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 1.0 part by mass or more, even more preferably 1.5 parts by mass or more, still more preferably 2.0 parts by mass or more, and is preferably less than 15 parts by mass, more preferably 10 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 8 parts by mass or less, and still more preferably 6 parts by mass or less. When the lower limit of the reactive light stabilizer content is 1.0 part by mass or more, light resistance tends to be more effectively improved, and when the upper limit is less than 15 parts by mass, solvent resistance tends to be improved.

[0074] The surface protective layer may contain the reactive light stabilizer, but may also contain both the reactive light stabilizer and the non-reactive light stabilizer. When the surface protective layer contains both the reactive light stabilizer and the non-reactive light stabilizer, the blending ratio of the reactive light stabilizer to the non-reactive light stabilizer (reactive light stabilizer:non-reactive light stabilizer) by mass is preferably 10:0 to 2:8.

[0075] When the surface protective layer contains a reactive light stabilizer and a non-reactive light stabilizer as light stabilizers, the total content of the light stabilizers relative to 100 parts by mass of the cross-linking curable resin is preferably less than 15 parts by mass, and more preferably 10 parts by mass or less, because this tends to improve the solvent resistance of the decorative sheet.

[0076] The surface protective layer preferably contains an inorganic filler. By including an inorganic filler, the gloss of the decorative sheet can be adjusted, and a more luxurious design can be imparted.

[0077] Examples of inorganic fillers include silica, clay, heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, precipitated barium sulfate, calcium silicate, and synthetic silicates.

[0078] The inorganic filler preferably has a particle size of 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less. The particle size is the 50% particle size (d50: median size) when the particle size distribution measured by a dynamic light scattering method is expressed as a volume cumulative distribution.

[0079] The cross-linking curable resin may contain a known photopolymerization initiator, if necessary. The amount of the photopolymerization initiator added is preferably, for example, 0.1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less based on the mass of the crosslinking curable resin.

[0080] The surface protective layer may contain additives, such as antioxidants, abrasion resistance improvers, infrared absorbers, antistatic agents, leveling agents, thixotropy-imparting agents, coupling agents, antifoaming agents, flame retardants, plasticizers, particles, and antiblocking agents. The amounts of the additives may be appropriately selected depending on the properties of each additive.

[0081] The surface protection layer preferably has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less. When the thickness of the surface protective layer is within the above range, scratch resistance and weather resistance can be suitably imparted. The surface protective layer more preferably has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 20 μm or less. In addition, when the uneven shape described below is formed, the thickness of the surface protection layer is defined as the length from the part of the surface of the surface protection layer where the uneven shape is not formed to the surface of the surface protection layer on the transparent resin layer side.

[0082] The surface protective layer is preferably formed from a coating agent (composition) that contains at least one biomass-derived component, at least one (meth)acrylic monomer, and further contains an ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton as an ultraviolet absorber, and a reactive light stabilizer as a light stabilizer. The (meth)acrylic monomer (also referred to as a resin component), ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton, and reactive light stabilizer contained in the coating agent can be those described above. If necessary, the coating agent may also contain weathering agents such as ultraviolet absorbers other than the ultraviolet absorbers having a triazine skeleton described above and non-reactive light stabilizers, inorganic fillers, and additives. Such coating agents are also included in the present invention.

[0083] The surface protective layer may be formed by applying a coating agent by a known method and curing it with ionizing radiation. The term "ionizing radiation" refers to electromagnetic waves or charged particles that have enough energy to polymerize or crosslink molecules, and generally refers to electron beams (EB) or ultraviolet rays (UV).

[0084] (Transparent resin layer) The decorative sheet of the present invention comprises a transparent resin layer. The above-mentioned "transparency" may be semi-transparent or colored, as long as the design layer is visible.

[0085] The transparent resin layer may be made of, for example, an ester-based resin, an olefin-based resin, an acrylic-based resin, a carbonate-based resin, a urethane-based resin, a styrene-based resin, a vinyl chloride-based resin, a vinyl acetate-based resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, etc. From the viewpoint of improving moldability and scratch resistance, an ester-based resin or an olefin-based resin such as polypropylene or polyester is preferred.

[0086] The transparent resin layer may contain a biomass-derived component. When the transparent resin layer contains a biomass-derived component, the environmental load can be suitably reduced. In this case, biomass-derived polyolefin (biomass-derived polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) may be used as the resin constituting the transparent resin layer.

[0087] The transparent resin layer may further contain various additives as needed. Examples include antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, lubricants, nucleating agents, colorants such as dyes and pigments, etc. The amount of the additives to be added may be appropriately selected depending on the properties of each additive.

[0088] The thickness of the transparent resin layer is preferably 40 μm or more and 150 μm or less. By ensuring that the thickness of the transparent resin layer is within the above range, the scratch resistance of the decorative sheet can be suitably improved.

[0089] The method for laminating the transparent resin layer is not limited as long as it is a common method, and examples thereof include a dry lamination method and an extrusion lamination method in which a molten resin is extruded using a T-die to perform lamination. A T-die or the like capable of extruding molten resin can be used as the extrusion mechanism described above.

The resin component is not particularly limited and can be any resin selected from the group consisting of urethane resins, acrylic resins, ester resins, amide resins, butyral resins, styrene resins, nitrocellulose (nitrocellulose) resins, cellulose acetate resins, acrylic-urethane resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer resins, and chlorinated polypropylene resins, either alone or in combination. As the liquid component, for example, organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate alcohol, ethanol, and methanol, or water can be used.

[0095] The design layer can be formed by partially printing an ink containing a colorant component, a resin component, and a liquid component using a gravure printing method using an intaglio roll. The design layer may also be formed by partially printing inks of the same or different compositions in different regions and / or by overlapping the same region multiple times.

[0096] The thickness of the design layer is preferably, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less.

[0097] (Base sheet) The decorative sheet of the present invention preferably has a substrate sheet on the side opposite to the side on which the transparent resin layer of the design layer is provided.

[0098] Examples of resins that constitute the substrate sheet include ester-based resins, olefin-based resins, urethane-based resins, acrylic-based resins, polycarbonate-based resins, polystyrene-based resins; vinyl chloride-based resins, vinyl acetate-based resins, and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins. Of these, ester-based resins and olefin-based resins are preferred, and polyethylene and polypropylene are more preferred.

[0099] The base sheet may contain a biomass-derived component. When the base sheet contains a biomass-derived component, the environmental load can be suitably reduced. In this case, biomass-derived polyolefin (biomass-derived polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) may be used as the resin constituting the base sheet.

[0100] The substrate sheet may be colored as necessary. The surface may be subjected to a surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, or ozone treatment, or may be coated with a primer, which is a base coating material, to improve adhesion to adjacent layers.

[0101] The substrate sheet may contain various additives, as needed, such as colorants, fillers, matting agents, foaming agents, flame retardants, lubricants, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, light stabilizers, etc. The amounts of the additives to be added may be appropriately selected depending on the properties of each additive.

[0102] The substrate sheet may be colored as necessary. The surface may be subjected to a surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, or ozone treatment, or may be coated with a primer, which is a base coating material, to improve adhesion to adjacent layers.

[0103] The thickness of the substrate sheet is, for example, preferably 50 μm or more and less than 100 μm, and more preferably 60 μm or more and 80 μm or less.

[0104] The specific method for forming a film (sheeting) of the substrate sheet is not particularly limited, and examples include the T-die method in which molten resin is extruded and laminated using a T-die, the calendar method, and the circular die method (inflation method, tubular method). Among these, the T-die method is preferred when improving production efficiency (production speed) and alleviating internal stress during sheeting. The calendar method is preferred when making the thickness of the substrate sheet uniform and reducing foreign matter defects.

[0105] (adhesive layer) The decorative sheet of the present invention may have an adhesive layer between the design layer and the transparent resin layer. The adhesive layer is preferably transparent.

[0106] The adhesive that can be used to form the adhesive layer includes, for example, urethane adhesives such as ester urethane and acrylic urethane, acrylic adhesives, epoxy adhesives, and rubber adhesives.

[0107] The adhesive layer may include a biomass-derived component. As the biomass-derived component, for example, the above-mentioned urethane-based adhesive using biomass-derived isocyanate may be used.

[0108] The thickness of the adhesive layer is, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm. The method for forming the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and any known method may be appropriately selected.

[0109] (adhesion auxiliary layer) If necessary, the decorative sheet of the present invention may have an adhesive auxiliary layer (pattern auxiliary layer) between the base sheet and the pattern layer, an adhesive auxiliary layer (surface adhesive auxiliary layer) between the transparent resin layer and the surface protective layer, or an adhesive auxiliary layer (back surface adhesive auxiliary layer) on the back surface of the base sheet (the side opposite to the side having the pattern layer). The adhesion auxiliary layer functions as a primer layer or an easy-adhesion layer.

[0110] The adhesive auxiliary layer can be formed using, for example, an ester-based resin, a urethane-based resin, an acrylic-based resin, a polycarbonate-based resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyvinyl butyral-based resin, a nitrocellulose-based resin, etc., and one or more of these resins can be used.

[0111] The thickness of the adhesion auxiliary layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 30 μm or less, from the viewpoint of suitably suppressing poor adhesion between layers. The method for forming the adhesive auxiliary layer is not particularly limited, and any known method may be appropriately selected.

Examples of the additives include lubricants such as silicone resins, waxes, and fluororesins, colorants such as dyes and pigments, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, radical scavengers, flame retardants, deodorizers, antibacterial agents, antiviral agents, antiallergens, and antifungal agents. The amount of the additives to be added may be appropriately selected depending on the properties of each additive.

[0113] (uneven shape) The decorative sheet of the present invention has an uneven shape on the side having the surface protective layer, from the viewpoint of providing a suitable design.

[0114] The uneven shape may reach the transparent resin layer or the adhesive auxiliary layer (adhesive auxiliary layer 6 in FIG. 2), or may be a flat shape (finely uneven shape).

[0115] The maximum height Rz of the uneven shape is preferably, for example, 10 μm or more and 60 μm or less. By setting the maximum height Rz of the uneven shape within the above range, it is possible to suitably impart an excellent design that gives a three-dimensional feel not only visually but also tactilely (to the touch). The "maximum height Rz" means the maximum height Rz specified in JIS B 0601 (2001).

[0116] The method for forming the uneven shape is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method of embossing with heat, and a method of transferring the uneven shape using a shaping sheet. Examples of heat embossing include a method of embossing using a well-known sheet-type or rotary embossing machine. Examples of embossed patterns include sand grain, hairline, matte finish, wood grain vessel grooves, uneven stone surface, cloth surface texture, and linear grooves.

[0120] The thickness of the backer layer is preferably, for example, 100 μm or more and 400 μm or less.

[0121] <Decorative sheet manufacturing method> The method for producing the decorative sheet of the present invention includes a step of applying the coating agent of the present invention onto a transparent resin layer and curing it to form a surface protective layer, and a step of embossing from the side having the surface protective layer. In the decorative sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the coating agent contains urethane (meth)acrylate and a (meth)acrylic monomer of a specific molecular weight, so that even if a surface protective layer containing biomass-derived components is formed, a decrease in productivity during embossing can be suppressed.

[0122] In the method for producing a decorative sheet of the present invention, the order in which the layers are formed is not particularly important. For example, an adhesive auxiliary layer (pattern auxiliary layer), a pattern layer, an adhesive layer, a transparent resin layer, an adhesive auxiliary layer (surface adhesive auxiliary layer), and a surface protective layer may be formed in this order on one side of the base sheet. Furthermore, the steps of forming each layer do not need to proceed consecutively, and other steps or treatments may be carried out between these steps. Each layer may also be laminated on a releasable support, which will be described later.

[0123] <Release film> The release film of the present invention comprises the decorative sheet of the present invention as a transfer layer, and a releasable support on the side of the surface protective layer opposite to the side on which the transparent resin layer is provided.

[0124] Examples of the releasable support include ester resins, olefin resins, styrene resins, vinyl resins, (meth)acrylic resins, amide resins, imide resins, and carbonate resins.

[0126] (decorative panels) The decorative sheet of the present invention may have an adherend laminated on the side of the base sheet opposite to the side having the pattern layer.

[0127] Examples of the adherend include wood boards, gypsum boards, cement boards, ceramic boards, metal boards, resin boards, and fiber-reinforced plastic boards. As a method for laminating the adherend, for example, the adherend may be laminated on the side of the base sheet opposite to the side having the pattern layer via the adhesive layer described above.

[Example]

[0130] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0131] Example 1 A colored substrate layer formed of a resin composition containing a biomass-derived polyolefin was prepared, and used as a substrate sheet. A back adhesive auxiliary layer (containing 53% by mass of ester-based polyurethane resin and 3% by mass of soluble nitrocellulose) was formed on one side of the base sheet so as to cover the entire surface by solid printing with an ink containing an organic solvent using a gravure printing method with an intaglio roll. On the other side of the base sheet, a 2 μm thick pattern auxiliary layer mainly composed of an acrylic-urethane resin was formed by solid printing with an ink containing an organic solvent using a gravure printing method with an intaglio roll so as to cover the entire surface, and then a 2 μm thick pattern layer (wood grain pattern) mainly composed of an acrylic-urethane resin was formed by partial printing with an ink containing a colorant and an organic solvent using a gravure printing method with an intaglio roll. An ester-based polyurethane was applied to the side of the pattern layer opposite the pattern auxiliary layer to form a 10 μm thick adhesive layer, and a 60 μm thick transparent olefin sheet was dry laminated onto the adhesive layer to form a transparent resin layer. Furthermore, a surface adhesion auxiliary layer made of an acrylic-urethane copolymer resin having a thickness of 2 μm was formed on the side of the transparent resin layer opposite the adhesive layer, and a coating agent was applied onto the surface adhesion auxiliary layer by gravure coating. After that, the coating agent was cured by irradiating it with ionizing radiation to form a surface protection layer having a thickness of 5 μm. Finally, the surface having the surface protective layer was embossed by heat and pressure to form a concave-convex shape, thereby producing a decorative sheet. The coating agent used to form the surface protective layer consisted of 30 parts by weight of biomass-derived glycerin triacrylate "Aronix M-930" (molecular weight: 348, manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd.) and 70 parts by weight of petrochemically derived bifunctional urethane acrylate "RECRYL 270" (weight average molecular weight: 3000, manufactured by Daicel-Allnex Corporation). Additionally, 20 parts by weight of matte silica was added per 100 parts by weight of the resin component, 1.0 part by weight of a hydroxyphenyltriazine ultraviolet absorber (TINUVIN400, manufactured by BASF) was added per 100 parts by weight of the resin component, and 1.0 part by weight of a reactive light stabilizer (Sanol LS-3410, manufactured by Nippon Nyukazai Co., Ltd.) was added per 100 parts by weight of the resin component.

[0132] Example 2 A decorative sheet was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the ultraviolet absorber incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to a hydroxyphenyltriazine ultraviolet absorber (TINUVIN400 manufactured by BASF) at 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component, and a hydroxyphenyltriazine ultraviolet absorber (TINUVIN479 manufactured by BASF) at 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0133] Example 3 A decorative sheet was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the UV absorbers incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer were changed to 1.0 part by mass of a hydroxyphenyltriazine UV absorber (TINUVIN400, manufactured by BASF) per 100 parts by mass of the resin component, and 1.0 part by mass of a benzotriazole UV absorber (TINUVIN329, manufactured by BASF) per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0134] Example 4 A decorative sheet was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the amount of reactive light stabilizer (Sanol LS-3410, Nippon Nyukazai Co., Ltd.) incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0135] Example 5 A decorative sheet was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the light stabilizer incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to a reactive light stabilizer (Sanol LS-3410, Nippon Nyukazai Co., Ltd.) in an amount of 15 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0136] (Comparative Example 1) A decorative sheet was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the light stabilizer incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to a non-reactive light stabilizer (TIUUVIN123 manufactured by BASF) at 1.0 part by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0137] (Comparative Example 2) A decorative sheet was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the ultraviolet absorber incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to a benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber (TINUVINP manufactured by BASF) in an amount of 2.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component, and the light stabilizer incorporated into the coating agent used to form the surface protective layer was changed to a non-reactive light stabilizer (TINUVIN123 manufactured by BASF) in an amount of 1.0 part by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin component.

[0138] <Evaluation method>

[0139] (1) Weather resistance Using the ultra-accelerated weathering tester described below, the decorative sheets obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples were subjected to 17 cycles (408 hours in total) of ultra-accelerated weathering tests (a test in which one cycle consisted of 20 hours of ultraviolet irradiation under the irradiation conditions described below, followed by 4 hours of condensation under the condensation conditions described below). After 408 hours had passed, the appearance of the decorative sheets was visually evaluated according to the following criteria. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.
