Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a sheet, wherein the sheet has an excellent low-gloss feeling; even when oblique light is incident on a surface of the sheet, diffuse reflection of the light is suppressed, the surface is less likely to look white when viewed obliquely, and a design represented on the sheet can be visually recognized; and the sheet has excellent designability. In the sheet, a surface of the sheet has an arithmetic average roughness Ra (JIS B0633: 2001) of 0.7 μm or less, and the reflectance at a detection angle equal to a regular reflection angle ±5°, measured by a variable angle photometer when the surface is irradiated with incident light at an incident angle of 75°, is 50% or less of the reflectance at the regular reflection angle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sheet, wherein a surface of the sheet has an arithmetic average roughness Ra (JIS B0633: 2001) of 0.7 μm or less, and the reflectance at a detection angle equal to a regular reflection angle ±5°, measured by a variable angle photometer when the surface is irradiated with incident light at an incident angle of 75°, is 50% or less of the reflectance at the regular reflection angle, wherein the sheet has a surface-protecting layer comprising an ionizing radiation-curable resin on an uppermost surface, wherein the surface-protecting layer comprises silica fine particles and resin beads. 2. A sheet, wherein a surface of the sheet has an arithmetic average roughness Ra (JIS B0633: 2001) of 0.7 μm or less, and the reflectance at a detection angle equal to a regular reflection angle ±5°, measured by a variable angle photometer when the surface is irradiated with incident light at an incident angle of 75°, is 50% or less of the reflectance at the regular reflection angle, wherein the sheet has a picture pattern layer and a transparent resin layer comprising a polyolefin resin, wherein at least the picture pattern layer, the transparent resin layer, and the surface-protecting layer are laminated in this order on a base material sheet. 3. A sheet, wherein a surface of the sheet has an arithmetic average roughness Ra (JIS B0633: 2001) of 0.7 μm or less, and the reflectance at a detection angle equal to a regular reflection angle ±5°, measured by a variable angle photometer when the surface is irradiated with incident light at an incident angle of 75°, is 50% or less of the reflectance at the regular reflection angle, wherein the sheet is a decorative sheet. 4. The sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the sheet is a decorative sheet for floor materials. 5. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the ionizing radiation-curable resin is at least one member selected from the group consisting of acrylate resins, polyester resins, and epoxy resins. 6. The sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet has a transparent resin layer comprising a polyolefin resin. 7. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet has a transparent resin layer comprising a polyolefin resin. 8. The sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the sheet has a picture pattern layer. 9. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet has a picture pattern layer. 10. The sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet has a thickness of 50 to 600 μm. 11. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet has a thickness of 50 to 600 μm. 12. The sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet is a decorative sheet. 13. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet is a decorative sheet. 14. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet is a decorative sheet for floor materials. 15. The sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the ionizing radiation-curable resin is at least one member selected from the group consisting of acrylate resins, polyester resins, and epoxy resins. 16. The sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the sheet has a thickness of 50 to 600 μm. 17. The sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet has a surface-protecting layer comprising an ionizing radiation-curable resin on an uppermost surface, wherein the surface-protecting layer comprises silica fine particles and resin beads. 18. The sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the sheet has a surface-protecting layer comprising an ionizing radiation-curable resin on an uppermost surface, wherein the surface-protecting layer comprises silica fine particles and resin beads.
