Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a printed reflective sheet having an open type bead manufacturing method and a product including the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a printed reflection sheet and an article including the same, and more particularly, And a product including the same.

The reflective sheet regularly reflects incident light to improve visibility. Accordingly, the reflective sheet is used for various purposes such as identification, safety, and advertisement. For example, reflective sheets are attached to clothes, shoes, bags, road signs, and various advertising materials by means of adhesives, sewing, and the like. Reflective sheeting is particularly effective in protecting and safeguarding the wearer as it can identify the wearer's position when attached to the garments of people working on roads or in dangerous places, such as in an environmentally benign environment, a firefighting team, or a construction site worker.

The reflective sheet is usually divided into a bead type and a prism type. Bead-type reflectors are mainly made of transparent microspheres such as glass. The prism-type reflector has a triangular-pyramidal structure. Such a bead shape and a prism shape are advantageous for securing visibility at night by retroreflecting the incident light in the same direction.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a conventional reflective sheet according to a conventional technique, which is a bead type.

1, the reflective sheet generally includes a base sheet 1, an adhesive layer 2 formed on the base sheet 1, and a reflective film formed on the adhesive layer 2. [ The reflective film includes a reflective layer 3 formed by depositing a metal such as aluminum (Al), a binder layer 4 formed on the reflective layer 3, and a plurality of reflective beads embedded in the binder layer 4 5). When the reflective sheet having such a laminated structure is adhered to an adherend such as clothing or shoes, the base sheet (1) is usually peeled off, and then the adhesive layer (2) is thermally fused to the adherend through thermal application.

As the reflective beads 5, a glass bead having a high refractive index is mainly used. The reflective beads 5 are embedded in the binder layer 4 with a structure in which approximately half of the diameter is protruded so as to have a high reflection luminance. 1, the reflective bead 5 is not completely embedded in the binder layer 4, but only about half of the diameter is embedded, so that the surface of the bead 5 is exposed to the outside The reflection brightness is high.

In recent years, a printing layer has been formed in order to realize images such as various colors and patterns on a reflective sheet as described above. When a print layer is formed, it can be usefully used for advertising and the like.

In the present invention, the reflective sheet on which the print layer is formed as described above is referred to as a " print reflective sheet ". At this time, in forming the print layer on the reflective sheet, it is difficult to directly form on the reflective beads 5. Thus, a printing layer is usually formed on the lower portion of the reflective beads 5, that is, the binder layer 4 in Fig.

For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0337981 (Patent Document 1) discloses a technique in which a print layer is formed under the reflective beads 5 through sublimation transfer. In addition, in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0320016 (Patent Document 2) and Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0265242 (Patent Document 3), it is described that offset printing is carried out between the reflective beads 5 and the reflective layer 3, A technique of forming a print layer is proposed.

However, in forming the print layer, when the print layer is formed under the reflective beads 5, that is, between the reflective beads 5 and the reflective layer 3 as described above, the discrimination power of the printed image deteriorates. For example, at a distance of less than 1 meter, the printed image may be somewhat discernible, but as the distance increases, the printed image disappeared and the discernment significantly deteriorates. As a result, only the reflection power is felt at a long distance, and it is difficult to identify the printed image, so that the purpose (effect) of forming the print layer is lost and the commercial value is also lowered.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-165302 (Patent Document 4) discloses that a printed layer is formed below the reflective beads 5, and when the reflective beads 5 and the printed layer are observed in the thickness direction of the reflective sheet, A reflective sheet is arranged so as not to be exposed. That is, the print image is positioned between the reflective beads 5. However, also in this case, the discrimination power of the printed image is lowered due to the influence of the reflective beads 5. [

In addition, the prior art printed reflective sheet including the above-mentioned prior art documents has a problem that the three-dimensional texture is deteriorated because it does not have a separate means for volume sensing.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0337981 Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0320016 Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0265242 JP-A-2005-165302

According to the present invention, although the open type structure, that is, the surface curved structures 100a and 100b corresponding to the reflective beads 22a is formed on the print layer 40 on the reflective beads 22a, Does not fall. And the image formed on the print layer 40 has excellent discriminating power. That is, it is possible to identify the print layer 40 even at a long distance with a good reflection luminance.

Further, according to the present invention, the elastic base material 80 has a three-dimensional volume feeling. At this time, when the embossed or embossed embossed pattern 110 (see FIG. 3) is formed, it has an excellent three-dimensional texture due to the volume feeling of the elastic substrate 80. Hereinafter, an exemplary form of each component will be described.

The elastic substrate 80 is for a three-dimensional volume sense, and may have a thickness greater than that of the reflective film 20, for example. The elastic substrate 80 is not limited as long as it is excellent in elasticity (stretchability) and thermal conductivity. The elastic substrate 80 may be any material that has mechanical properties such as dimensional stability in the process of forming the print layer 40 or the like.

The elastic base material 80 may be composed of at least one elastic material selected from, for example, a synthetic resin foam, a synthetic resin elastomer, a silicone, a polyvinyl chloride, a rubber, and the like. As a specific example, the elastic base material 80 may be a sheet-like foamed foam sheet in which a synthetic resin is foamed, such as a sponge. The foam may be a foam having elasticity (stretchability) by a plurality of micropores. The foam may be a polyolefin, a polyester, a polyurethane, a polyvinyl chloride, a polyimide, a polystyrene, May be used. The elastic base material 80 may be selected from an elastic elastomer sheet selected from elastic materials such as polyurethane and polyurea resins, and a flexible elastic sheet formed from a silicone resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, .

The adhesive layer 10 is not limited as long as it has adhesiveness. The adhesive layer 10 may be one that provides an adhesive force between the elastic sheet 80 and the reflective film 20. The adhesive layer 10 may include an adhesive selected from a natural resin and a synthetic resin. Specific examples of the adhesive layer 10 include polyethylene (LDPE), polyurethane, acrylic, epoxy, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) And the like. Preferably, the adhesive layer 10 can be advantageously used in a polyurethane system having good elasticity (stretchability) in consideration of characteristics of a textile product such as clothes and circularity after washing. The adhesive layer 10 may be formed by applying the above adhesive to the lower surface of the reflective film 20 or the upper surface of the elastic substrate 80.

The reflective film 20 includes a plurality of reflective beads 22a as usual. Specifically, the reflective film 20 includes a support layer 24 for enhancing the reflectivity and a reflective bead layer 22 formed on the support layer 24. And the reflective bead layer 22 comprises a plurality of regularly arranged reflective beads 22a.

The reflective bead 22a is not limited as long as it has a refractive index for retroreflection. The reflective beads 22a are transparent, for example, glass beads; Non-vitreous ceramic beads; And a transparent synthetic resin bead such as acrylic resin. The reflecting bead 22a is preferably a glass bead having a high refractive index. The reflective beads 22a may have a spherical or elliptical shape, and preferably a spherical shape. The size (diameter) of such reflective beads 22a is not limited. The reflective beads 22a are preferably spherical in shape and may have a diameter D of, for example, 1.0 m (micrometer) to 2.0 m, although this may vary depending on the product or purpose to be applied. The reflective beads 22a may have a diameter D of preferably 10 mu m to 1,000 mu m, more preferably 20 mu m to 40 mu m.

The support layer 24 may have a binding force to embed and fix (fix) the reflective beads 22a. The support layer 24 preferably has a reflective property as well as a bonding force.

The support layer 24 may be formed by sticking (curing) a metal paste so as to have a reflection characteristic according to the first embodiment. At this time, the metal paste includes metal particles and a binder. The metal particles are for reflection characteristics and can be selected from, for example, aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn) . The metal particles are preferably aluminum (Al) or an alloy thereof. In addition, the binder binds and supports (fixes) the reflective beads 22a while bonding metal particles to each other, and may be any one having adhesiveness. The binder may be selected from, for example, natural resins and synthetic resins. Specific examples of the binder include at least one adhesive resin selected from acrylic, urethane, silicone, epoxy, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene and polyester .

Further, the support layer 24 may have a laminated structure including at least two layers according to the second embodiment. The support layer 24 may specifically include a metal reflection layer for reflection characteristics and a binder layer formed on the metal reflection layer. At this time, the reflective beads 22a are buried and supported (fixed) on the binder layer. As the kind of the binder constituting the binder layer, an adhesive resin as described in the above metal paste can be used. The metal reflection layer is formed by depositing a metal on the lower part of the binder layer, and the metal constituting the metal reflection layer is exemplified by the metal described in the metal particles. In this case, the metal reflective layer may be formed by sputtering, E-beam evaporation, chemical vapor deposition CVD, Chemical Vapor Deposition (PVD) or Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).

Specifically, the support layer 24 may include a binder selected from natural resins and synthetic resins, and a pearl that provides a white pigment and / or a reflective force for white color implementation. At this time, as described above, one or more adhesive resins selected from acrylic, urethane, epoxy, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyester, and the like may be used as the binder. And the white pigment is not limited as long as it is white. When the support layer 24 includes a white pigment as described above, a clearer print image is realized and identification is facilitated by providing a white background.

The reflective beads 22a are embedded in the reflective film 20 as shown in the figure. Reflective bead 22a specifically embeds only a part of its diameter D in support layer 24 and the rest protrudes (exposes) to the surface of support layer 24. At this time, it is preferable that the reflection bead 22a is protruded by 1/3 to 2/3 of the diameter D. Specifically, the height H of the reflective beads 22a protruding from the surface of the reflective film 20, that is, the surface of the support layer 24, is preferably about 1/3 to 2/3 of the diameter D, Hereinafter, the height H of the reflective beads 22a protruding from the surface of the reflective film 20 will be abbreviated as "protrusion height ". For example, when the diameter D of the reflective beads 22a is 90 占 퐉, it is preferable that the projection height H is 30 占 퐉 to 60 占 퐉. When the projection height H is in this range, a bonding force can be realized with a good reflection brightness. Specifically, when the projection height H is less than 1/3 of the diameter D, it is difficult to achieve a good reflection luminance. If the protrusion height H exceeds 2/3 of the diameter D, the bonding force with the support layer 24 becomes weak and the reflection bead 22a may be detached. In consideration of this point, it is more preferable that the projection height H is 1/2 of the diameter D. That is, it is more preferable that half of the diameter of the reflective beads 22a is embedded in the support layer 24, and the other half is protruded on the support layer 24.

In addition, the reflective film 20 as described above can be manufactured by various methods. The reflective film 20 can be manufactured in the same manner as usual. For example, the reflection film 20 may be formed by applying a resin on the carrier film to form a separation layer, then embedding the reflection bead 22a at an appropriate depth on the separation layer, Forming the support layer 24, and then separating the carrier film and the separation layer from the reflective beads 22a.

The ink fixing layer 30 is for forming (printing) the printing layer 40, which is formed on the reflective bead 22a. The ink fixing layer 30 is specifically formed on the reflective film 20 and coated on the surface of the reflective bead 22a protruding as shown in Fig. On the surface of the ink fixing layer 30, ink is seated when the printing layer 40 is formed, that is, when printing is performed.

The ink fixing layer (30) may be any one capable of printing on the surface of the ink fixing layer (30). It is preferable that the ink fixing layer 30 has a good binding force with the reflective beads 22a and can fix the ink in an optimum state. The ink fixing layer 30 may be formed by coating a composition containing an adhesive resin, for example, a silicone resin, a polyurethane (PU) resin, a melamine resin, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, (PVA) resin, acrylic resin, and the like can be coated and formed.

The ink fixing layer 30 may be formed by coating the ink fixing composition comprising the resin listed above as a base resin and further including an ink primer. At this time, the ink primer is for a good fixation of the ink, which can be preferably selected from the components contained in the ink for forming the printing layer 40. The ink primer is not particularly limited, but may include one or more selected from a wetting agent and a surfactant, which are included in a common ink composition.

More specifically, for example, the ink fixing composition may include the above listed resins, namely, silicone resin, polyurethane (PU) resin, melamine resin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, polyvinyl alcohol PVA) resin and acrylic resin, and the like; Ink primers; And 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of an ink primer and 30 to 150 parts by weight of a solvent based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin.

The wetting agent may be included in an amount of 0.05 to 30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin, and the surfactant may be included in an amount of 0.05 to 20 parts by weight. In the case where the ink fixing layer 30 is formed using the composition for ink fixing formed with such components and contents, the ink can be fixed in the optimum state without interfering with the reflection brightness.

The wetting agent may be, for example, glycerin, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, hexylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, , 2-butene-1,4-diol and 2-methyl-2-pentanediol, and the surfactant may be selected from, for example, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl Ether, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, and the like. The solvent may be at least one selected from, for example, water, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, and pentanol.

The ink primer may further include an inorganic filler in addition to a wetting agent and a surfactant.

The inorganic filler may be contained in an amount of, for example, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin. In addition, the inorganic filler has a fine size and can be used, for example, having a fine size of 2.0 탆 or less, specifically 0.01 탆 to 2.0 탆.

The method of forming the ink fixing layer 30 is not limited, and it can be formed by various coating (or printing) methods. The ink fixing layer 30 can be formed, for example, by a method such as spray coating, Comma Knife coating, gravure coating and slot die coating, And one or more UV coating methods using the same. Preferably, after coating the composition for ink fixing, it is preferable to cure and dry in an aging chamber maintained at 40 to 50 ° C for about 20 hours to 30 hours for stable deposition of ink.

The printing layer 40 is formed on the ink fixing layer 30 by the printing method, and the composition of the ink constituting the printing layer 40 is not limited. The ink may have a composition including at least four primary colors of C (Cyon), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow) and K (Black) as usual, for example, and may further contain other colorants (dyes and pigments) can do. Specific examples of the ink include the four primary coloring matters; A fixing resin and an ink primer. At this time, the kind of the ink primer may be the same as that described in the ink fixing layer 30. The fixing resin may be selected from, for example, polyurethane (PU), silicone resin, melamine resin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

More specifically, for example, the printing layer 40 may be obtained by obtaining a medicinal material obtained by mixing ordinary four primary coloring matters (C, M, Y and K), a fixing resin (for example, PU) and an ink primer, A mixture obtained by mixing a medicinal material and a curing agent in a weight ratio of 100: 8 is obtained, and then the mixture is diluted with a diluting solvent in which toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) are mixed at a weight ratio of 5: 5 . At this time, the ink may be mixed with 60 to 70% by weight of the mixture and 30 to 40% by weight of the diluting solvent.

The ink may further contain, for example, carboxyl cellulose or the like as a viscosity control agent in addition to the above components. In the present invention, the composition of the ink is not limited, and it may conform to a composition commonly used in the printing field.

In addition, various images may be implemented on the print layer 40 through various colors and patterns. The image embodied in the printing layer 40 is not limited, and may be expressed, for example, as a letter, a figure, a picture, a photograph, or a combination thereof. Further, the printing layer 40 can be formed by various printing methods. For example, the printing layer 40 may be formed by methods such as UV offset printing, UV gravure printing, UV shearing printing, screen printing, digital imaging output (solvent, aqueous, UV, etc.), sublimation or transfer of printed images, But is not limited thereto.

The transparent protective layer 50 protects the print layer 40 as described above. The printed layer 40 may be deformed, peeled, or crushed by an external force, for example, an image printed by an external force such as moisture or impact. The transparent protective layer 50 may be formed on the print layer 40 Thereby preventing the above phenomenon. The transparent protective layer 50 is formed by coating a transparent resin. The resin constituting the transparent protective layer 50 may be a thermosetting type or a UV curing type, and it is preferable that after the elapse of a long time, there is no yellowing phenomenon. In consideration of this point, the transparent protective layer 50 is coated with at least one transparent resin selected from, for example, a silicone resin, a polyurethane (PU), an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, a polyvinyl chloride .

The transparent protective layer 50 is preferably waterproof to prevent moisture penetration. To this end, the transparent protective layer 50 preferably comprises at least one non-hydrophilic resin selected from a silicone resin and polyurethane (PU) having good waterproofing properties as a base resin.

In addition, the transparent protective layer 50 may further include a water repellent agent. Specifically, the transparent protective layer 50 may be formed by coating a transparent resin composition comprising the above-described transparent resin as a base resin, and further including a waterproofing agent. The waterproofing agent may be at least one selected from bentonite, silicone (organopolysiloxane, etc.), urethane (polyurethane, etc.), and the like.

According to the present invention described above, the print layer 40 is positioned above the reflective beads 22a, and the surface curved structure 100a (corresponding to the projected structure of the reflective beads 22a) ) 100b, the reflection brightness is excellent as well as the discriminating power of the printed image.

More specifically, the printed reflection sheet 100 according to the present invention includes an ink fixing layer 30, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (not shown) on the upper surface of the reflective beads 22a, that is, Layer 40 and a transparent protective layer 50 are laminated in this order on a transparent substrate 40. The ink fixation layer 30, the print layer 40, and the transparent protective layer 50 are formed on the reflective beads 22a, . Accordingly, the surface of the printed reflection sheet 100 according to the present invention, that is, the surface that the observer sees (the surface on which light is incident) is a protruding structure corresponding to the protruding (exposed) structure of the reflective beads 22a, (100a) and (100b) composed of a concave portion (100a) and a concave portion (100b). Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to identify the print layer 40 even at a long distance with excellent reflection brightness. That is, it has a high reflection luminance realized in the open type, and is excellent in the discrimination power of the printed image.

When forming the ink fixing layer 30, the print layer 40, and the transparent protective layer 50 in a planar fashion instead of forming the curved structure as in the present invention, The visibility of the reflective sheet 100 can be remarkably deteriorated, which is the main object of the present invention. In other words, it becomes a plane which prevents refraction of the beads, and the reflection brightness is remarkably low. In addition, when the print layer 40 is formed below the reflective beads 22a as in the prior art, it is difficult to identify the printed image at a long distance as described above.

However, according to the present invention, when the surface bending structure 100a or 100b is formed on the reflective bead 22a as described above, it has an open type structure and has a high reflection luminance. More specifically, the shape of the reflective beads 22a in which the surface of the reflective sheet 100 protrudes in the light incidence direction, more specifically, the shape of the ink fixing layer 30, the print layer 40 and the transparent protective layer 50 in the form of beads Thereby maintaining a high reflection luminance. The ink fountain layer 30 is well seated with ink to provide a clear image, and at the same time, the print layer 40 is located on the upper part of the reflective beads 22a and is excellent in the discrimination power of the printed image even at a long distance.

According to a preferred embodiment, the ink fixing layer 30 is formed on the entire surface of the reflection film 20 to have a uniform thickness T (T) on the entire surface of the reflection film 20 so as to achieve high reflection brightness through the surface curved structures 100a, 100b. ). 2, the ink fixing layer 30 is formed on the reflective film 20 and is uniformly distributed along the surface of the reflective film 20 so as to have the surface bending structures 100a and 100b. And the thickness T (T30).

Further, it is preferable that the ink fixing layer 30 satisfies the following expression (1).

[Equation 1]

T? 1 / 2H

In the above equation (1)

 T is a thickness (T30) of the ink fixing layer 30,

H: Height of the reflective bead 22a protruded (exposed) on the surface of the reflective film 20.]

Specifically, it is preferable that 0 <T (T30) ≤1 / 2H, more preferably 0 <T (T30) ≤1 / 3H in the ink fixing layer 30. The ink fixing layer 30 may vary depending on the diameter D of the reflective beads 22a but may have a thickness T (T30) of less than the micrometer (占 퐉) It is good.

According to a preferred embodiment, the ink fixing layer 30 has a thickness (T) (T30) of 300 mu m or less, more specifically 0.1 mu m to 300 mu m, in a micrometer (mu m) or less. At this time, when the thickness T (T30) of the ink fixing layer 30 is less than 0.1 占 퐉, the thickness is too thin, so that the ink fixing property may not be good at the time of printing the printing layer 40. [ In addition, if the thickness is too thin, the discrimination power of the image printed by the reflection brightness may be somewhat lowered. When the thickness exceeds 300 m, the thickness is too thick, and it may be difficult to form the print layer 40 and the transparent protective layer 50 with the surface bending structures 100a and 100b. In addition, if the thickness is too thick, the reflection brightness may be lowered. In consideration of this point, it is more preferable that the ink fixing layer 30 has a thickness (T) (T30) of 2.0 mu m to 100 mu m.

Also, in the case of the print layer 40 and the transparent protective layer 50, it is preferable that the thickness T is uniform.

Specifically, in the case of the print layer 40, it is also preferable that the print film 40 has a uniform thickness T on the surface of the reflective film 20. More specifically, the print layer 40 is preferably formed to have a uniform thickness T (T40) along the entire surface of the ink fixing layer 30. [ The print layer 40 preferably satisfies the following formula (2).

&Quot; (2) &quot;

T? 1 / 2H

In the above equation (2)

 T is the thickness (T40) of the printing layer 40,

H: Height of the reflective bead 22a protruded (exposed) on the surface of the reflective film 20.]

Specifically, it is preferable that 0 <T (T40) ≤1 / 2H, more preferably 0 <T (T40) ≤1 / 3H in the printing layer 40. Though the thickness of the print layer 40 may vary depending on the diameter D of the reflective beads 22a, the thickness T (T40) of micrometers (占 퐉) or less, for example, (T) (T40) of 5.0 mu m to 300 mu m. At this time, when the thickness (T) (T40) of the print layer 40 is less than 5.0 mu m, the print thickness may be too thin and image identification may not be good. And if it exceeds 300 탆, the thickness is too thick, and it may be difficult to form the transparent protective layer 50 with the surface bending structure 100a (100b). In consideration of this point, it is more preferable that the printing layer 40 has a thickness (T) (T40) of 10.0 mu m to 150 mu m.

It is also preferable that the transparent protective layer 50 has a uniform thickness T on the surface of the reflective film 20. More specifically, it is preferable that the transparent protective layer 50 is formed with a uniform thickness T (T50) along the surface of the print layer 40.
