Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A decorative material with improved release properties and scratch resistance. A decorative material according to a mode of the present invention includes a first gloss control layer provided to a front surface and a second gloss control layer provided on part of the first gloss control layer. The first gloss control layer contains a gloss control agent comprised of a hydrophilic inorganic material and a silicone-based release agent having a reactive terminal group. The reactive terminal group of the silicone-based release agent preferably has at least one of a hydroxyl group and an amino group. The second gloss control layer contains a silicone-based release agent having a reactive terminal group, and the reactive terminal group of the silicone-based release agent has at least one of an acryloyl group and a methacryloyl group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A decorative material, comprising: a first gloss control layer provided to a front surface and a second gloss control layer provided on part of the first gloss control layer; and, the first gloss control layer containing a gloss control agent comprised of a hydrophilic inorganic material and a silicone-based release agent having a reactive terminal group. 2. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein the reactive terminal group of the silicone-based release agent has at least one of a hydroxyl group and an amino group. 3. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein an additive amount of the silicone-based release agent to the first gloss control layer is formulated such that an active component of the silicone-based release agent is in a range of 1 part by mass or more and 6 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of solid content included in the first gloss control layer. 4. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein: a resin component included in the first gloss control layer contains a main material that is a mixture of a urethane-based thermosetting resin containing a polyol and an isocyanate with an ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group; and, a content of the urethane-based thermosetting resin is in a range of 3 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the ionizing radiation-curable resin. 5. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein: the second gloss control layer contains a silicone-based release agent having a reactive terminal group; and, the reactive terminal group of the silicone-based release agent has at least one of an acryloyl group and a methacryloyl group. 6. The decorative material of claim 5 , wherein an additive amount of the silicone-based release agent to the second gloss control layer is formulated such that an active component of the silicone-based release agent is in a range of 0.5 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of solid content included in the second gloss control layer. 7. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein: a resin component included in the second gloss control layer contains a main material that is a mixture of a urethane-based thermosetting resin containing a polyol and an isocyanate with an ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group; and, a content of the urethane-based thermosetting resin is 25 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the ionizing radiation-curable resin. 8. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein a resin component included in the second gloss control layer has a main material that is an ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group. 9. The decorative material of claim 4 , wherein the ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group has a number average molecular weight in a range of 300 or more and 5,000 or less. 10. The decorative material of claim 9 , wherein the ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group has a number average molecular weight in a range of 300 or more and 1,500 or less. 11. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein: the decorative material includes a patterned ink layer under the first gloss control layer; and, the second gloss control layer is formed in a portion overlapping a design pattern of the patterned ink layer as viewed perpendicularly to a front surface, and the design pattern of the patterned ink layer matches with glossiness of the second gloss control layer. 12. The decorative material of claim 1 , wherein: the decorative material includes a patterned ink layer under the first gloss control layer; and, the second gloss control layer is formed in a portion other than a portion right above a design pattern of the patterned ink layer, and the design pattern of the patterned ink layer matches with glossiness of the first gloss control layer.
