Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A decorative molding sheet including: an artificial leather substrate that includes a non-woven fabric containing ultrafine fibers with an average fineness of 0.001 to 1 dtex and an elastic polymer applied in the non-woven fabric, and that has a leather-like finished surface; and a resin layer that is formed on a back surface of the artificial leather substrate relative to the leather-like finished surface, and that contains a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a preform molded body obtained by shaping the decorative molding sheet into a three-dimensional shape are used.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A decorative molding sheet, comprising: an artificial leather substrate that includes a non-woven fabric containing ultrafine fibers with an average fineness of 0.001 to 1 dtex and an elastic polymer applied in the non-woven fabric, and that has a leather-like finished surface; and a resin layer that is formed on a back surface of the artificial leather substrate relative to the leather-like finished surface, and that contains a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, wherein an amount of the resin layer containing the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, per unit area of a surface on which the resin layer is formed is 25 to 200 g/m 2 . 2. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a vinyl acetate unit content in the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer is 5 to 25 mol %. 3. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer has a glass transition temperature of 65 to 85° C. 4. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the resin layer is 50 to 100 g/m 2 . 5. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the artificial leather substrate contains 10 to 40 mass % of the elastic polymer. 6. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic polymer is polyurethane. 7. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the leather-like finished surface is a napped surface formed by napping the ultrafine fibers. 8. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the leather-like finished surface is a resin layer stacked on a surface of the artificial leather substrate. 9. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the ultrafine fibers include nylon ultrafine fibers. 10. A preform molded body, obtained by shaping the decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 into a three-dimensional shape. 11. A decorative molded body, comprising: a resin molded body; and a skin layer disposed on a surface of the resin molded body, wherein the skin layer is the decorative molding sheet according to claim 1 . 12. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer has a glass transition temperature of 65 to 85° C. 13. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 12 , wherein the artificial leather substrate contains 10 to 40 mass % of the elastic polymer. 14. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 13 , wherein the ultrafine fibers include nylon ultrafine fibers. 15. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 14 , wherein the elastic polymer is polyurethane. 16. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 15 , wherein the leather-like finished surface is a napped surface formed by napping the ultrafine fibers. 17. The decorative molding sheet according to claim 15 , wherein the leather-like finished surface is a resin layer stacked on a surface of the artificial leather substrate.
