Description

  The present invention relates to a non-combustible decorative board.

JP-A-8-216333 Japanese Utility Model Publication 59-75037 JP 2000-351177 A JP 2001-96702 A

However, the use of a prepreg containing a phenol resin as a binder component as a core layer has a limit to the amount of binder component added to ensure nonflammability, and the resulting nonflammable decorative board is somewhat inferior in strength. It was.
On the other hand, those using prepregs with melamine resin as a binder component as the core layer can ensure nonflammability even when the amount added is about twice that of phenol resin, but the resin itself is hard and brittle, so it is nonflammable. The decorative board has a low strength and has a large dimensional change and may be warped due to a change with time.

  The present invention has been studied in view of such circumstances, and aims to obtain a non-combustible decorative board having non-combustible performance, excellent strength, and small dimensional change, and is characterized by the following.

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a metal foil is interposed between a core layer made of a prepreg in which an inorganic fiber base material is impregnated with a slurry made of an organic resin and an inorganic filler, and a decorative layer. It is a non-combustible decorative board.
The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the blending ratio of the organic resin and the inorganic filler in the slurry is 5 to 50:95 to 50 in terms of solid content ratio. The incombustible makeup according to claim 1, wherein the makeup is makeup.
Furthermore, the invention according to claim 3 is the incombustible decorative board according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the organic resin is a phenol resin and / or an amino-formaldehyde resin.

The present invention uses a prepreg in which a core layer is impregnated with a slurry composed of an organic resin component and an inorganic filler on an inorganic fiber base material, and maintains a nonflammable performance by laminating a metal foil directly under the decorative layer, and Higher adhesion with the surface decorative layer and strength of the molded product can be realized.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

  The incombustible decorative board of the present invention comprises a prepreg obtained by impregnating an inorganic fiber base material with a slurry composed of a resin component and an inorganic filler, a metal foil, and a decorative layer.

Examples of the inorganic fiber substrate include nonwoven fabrics and woven fabrics made of inorganic fibers such as glass fiber, rock wool, and carbon fiber. The basis weight of the inorganic fiber substrate is preferably in the range of 10 to ²⁰⁰ g / m ^2. In particular, it is preferable to use glass fibers that are excellent in heat resistance and flame resistance and excellent in impregnation of slurry.

  Examples of the resin component include a phenol resin and an amino-formaldehyde resin. By using both in combination, physical properties such as nonflammability, strength, and heat resistance are excellent.

Phenol resins are obtained by reacting phenols and aldehydes at a ratio of 1 to 3 moles of aldehydes with 1 mole of phenolic hydroxyl group under a basic catalyst or an acidic catalyst. Phenol, cresol, xylenol, octylphenol, phenylphenol, bisphenol A, bisphenol S, bisphenol F and the like. Examples of aldehydes include formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, glyoxal, trioxal and the like.
In addition, those modified with a modifying agent that promotes plasticization such as paratoluene sulfonamide, tung oil, phosphoric esters, glycols, etc. can be applied as necessary, and basic catalysts include alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, And oxides and hydroxides of alkaline earth metals such as magnesium and calcium, amines such as triethylamine and triethanolamine, and ammonia. Examples of acidic catalysts include paratoluenesulfonic acid and hydrochloric acid.

  Amino-formaldehyde resins include initial condensates obtained by reacting amino compounds such as melamine, urea, benzoguanamine, and acetoguanamine with formaldehyde, etherification with lower alcohols such as methyl alcohol and butyl alcohol, and paratoluene. Those modified with a reactive modifier that promotes plasticization such as sulfonamide can be applied, and among them, a melamine-formaldehyde resin excellent in durability is preferable.

  Examples of the inorganic filler contained in the slurry include aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, silica and the like, and those having an average particle diameter in the range of 0.5 to 200 μm impregnate the inorganic fiber nonwoven fabric. Among them, those containing crystal water such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are excellent in water resistance and heat resistance.

The blending ratio of the phenol resin and the amino-formaldehyde resin as the organic resin component in the slurry is desirably a solid content ratio of 1: 0.1 to 5, and when the amino-formaldehyde resin is less than the phenol resin, Strength and adhesion tend to be inferior, and warping increases when there are many.
In addition, the blending ratio of the organic resin component and the inorganic filler is desirably 5 to 50:95 to 50. If the amount of the inorganic filler increases with respect to the organic resin component, the nonflammability is improved, but the adhesion is lowered. In addition, when the inorganic filler is reduced, the adhesion is improved, but the incombustibility is lowered, or the resin oozes out during hot pressing.

The slurry solid content (%) in the inorganic fiber substrate is a calculation method represented by Equation 1, and is preferably in the range of 500 to 3000%.

If the upper limit is exceeded, the solid content will drop off, making it difficult to handle, and if the lower limit is not reached, delamination will easily occur.

  A decorative layer is formed on at least one side of the core layer made of the prepreg in which the slurry is impregnated with the inorganic fiber base material via a metal foil, and as a forming method, a method of applying, a method of using a resin-impregnated decorative paper, Examples of the method include transferring a decorative layer using a transfer foil, and the use of a resin-impregnated decorative paper is particularly preferable from the viewpoints of productivity, adhesion to the core layer, and wear resistance. In the embodiment, the metal foil is laminated on only one side of the core layer and the decorative layer is applied. However, the decorative layer may be formed by arranging the metal foil on both sides of the core layer.

  By using a metal foil, it is considered that a thermal diffusion effect and a gas barrier effect are exhibited and no heat is generated in the corn calorie test. Examples of the material of the metal foil include iron, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel, and an adhesive paper, for example, a paper coated with phenol butyral is laminated to improve adhesion to the prepreg and the decorative layer. In terms of cost, it is preferable to use an aluminum foil.

  As the means for forming the decorative layer, means such as resin-impregnated paper or painting are employed. As a means for coating, a resin liquid containing an unsaturated polyester resin colored with a pigment, a curing agent such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, and a curing accelerator such as cobalt naphthenate is applied on the core molding. After coating, the coated surface is covered with a vinylon film, spread with a roller, and after the resin is cured, the vinylon film is peeled off.

  The unsaturated polyester resin contains an acid component containing an unsaturated dibasic acid and / or an acid anhydride thereof and other saturated acid and / or acid anhydride used as necessary, and a polyhydric alcohol. A dehydration-condensation reaction is carried out according to a conventional method at about 160 to 230 ° C., preferably 210 to 230 ° C. in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon, and a polymerizable monomer such as a styrene monomer is added.

The method using resin-impregnated decorative paper is a method in which a base resin for decorative board is impregnated with a resin liquid containing a thermosetting resin as a main component, dried resin-impregnated decorative paper is laminated, and hot pressing is performed. As a decorative paper, a resin liquid composed of a thermosetting resin such as an amino-formaldehyde resin, a diallyl phthalate resin, and an unsaturated polyester resin is impregnated with a decorative paper of 30 to 140 g / m ² for a decorative board expressed by the following equation ( ² ). Those impregnated with a rate of 80 to 300% can be applied. Hot pressing may be performed with a press such as a flat plate press or a continuous press.
