Abstract

A decorative material having first and second gloss-adjusting layers, one with lower gloss contains a matting agent having an average particle diameter of 6.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less. That is, the average particle diameter of the matting agent in the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss, i.e., the gloss-adjusting layer whose scratch resistance is likely to be low, is set within an optimal range in which the gloss-adjusting layer has improved or even excellent scratch resistance and designability.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A decorative material comprising:
a first gloss-adjusting layer provided on a substrate, and
a second gloss-adjusting layer partially provided on the first gloss-adjusting layer, and having gloss that is different from that of the first gloss-adjusting layer;
wherein each of the first gloss-adjusting layer and the second gloss-adjusting layer contains a matting agent having an average particle diameter of 6.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less in an amount of 5 parts by mass or more and 40 parts or less relative to 100 parts of a resin composition of the respective gloss-adjusting layer;
the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss of the first gloss-adjusting layer and the second gloss-adjusting layer has a thickness of 1 μm or more and 18 μm or less, where the thickness is 1.2 times or less the particle diameter of the matting agent contained in the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss, and
the amount of the matting agent in the second gloss-adjusting layer is greater than in the first gloss-adjusting layer.

2. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss is ⅓ or more of the particle diameter of the matting agent contained in the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss.

3. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein the matting agent comprises an inorganic material.

4. The decorative material of claim 3 , wherein the inorganic material is silica or glass.

5. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein the decorative material further comprises a pattern ink layer provided between the substrate and the first gloss-adjusting layer;
the second gloss-adjusting layer is formed in a portion overlapping the pattern ink layer; and
a design pattern of the pattern ink layer is synchronized with the gloss of the second gloss-adjusting layer.

6. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein the decorative material further comprises a pattern ink layer provided between the substrate and the first gloss-adjusting layer;
the first gloss-adjusting layer entirely covers a surface of the substrate on a first gloss-adjusting layer side;
the second gloss-adjusting layer is formed in a portion overlapping a portion other than a portion directly above the pattern ink layer; and
a design pattern of the pattern ink layer is synchronized with the gloss of the first gloss-adjusting layer.

7. The decorative layer of claim 1 , wherein the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss of the first gloss-adjusting layer and the second gloss-adjusting layer has the amount of the matting agent of 10 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by of the resin composition of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss.

8. The decorative composition of claim 1 , wherein the matting agent is silica.

9. A decorative material comprising:
a first gloss-adjusting layer provided on a substrate, and
a second gloss-adjusting layer partially provided on the first gloss-adjusting layer, and having gloss that is different from that of the first gloss-adjusting layer;
wherein, of the first gloss-adjusting layer and the second gloss-adjusting layer, at least one with lower gloss contains a silica matting agent, where the silica matting agent contained in the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss has an average particle diameter of 6.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less;
the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss has a thickness of 1 μm or more and 18 μm or less, where the thickness is 1.2 times or less the particle diameter of the silica matting agent contained in the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss; and
the second gloss-adjusting material is the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss.

10. The decorative material of claim 9 , wherein each of the first gloss-adjusting layer and the second gloss-adjusting layer contains the silica matting agent in an amount of 5 parts by mass or more and 40 parts or less relative to 100 parts of a resin composition of the respective gloss-adjusting layer.

11. The decorative material of claim 9 , wherein the second gloss-adjusting layer has the amount of the matting agent of 10 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts of the resin composition of the second gloss-adjusting layer.

12. The decorative material of claim 11 , wherein the first gloss-adjusting layer does not contain the silica matting agent.

13. The decorative material of claim 11 , wherein the first gloss-adjusting layer contains the silica matting agent in the amount of least 5 parts relative to 100 parts of the resin composition of the first gloss-adjusting layer.
