Description

  The present invention relates to foamed wallpaper useful for wall decoration.

  Conventionally, foamed wallpaper (foamed decorative sheet) is known in which a foamed resin layer of vinyl chloride resin is formed on a paper-based substrate (backing paper). In recent years, in consideration of the environment, halogen-free resins such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin (EVA), acrylic resin, and olefin resin have been used for the foamed resin layer (Patent Document 1). ~ 3 etc.).

  Foamed wallpaper is required to have excellent surface strength (for example, scratch resistance). Therefore, in order to increase the surface strength, it has been proposed to use an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (EMAA) as a resin component contained in the foamed resin layer.

  The foamed resin layer is formed, for example, by foaming a foaming agent-containing resin layer containing a pyrolytic foaming agent by heating. The foaming agent-containing resin layer is formed, for example, by forming a resin composition containing a pyrolytic foaming agent by melt extrusion according to an extrusion method.

  In the case where a foaming agent-containing resin layer is formed by the extrusion method and foamed to form a foamed resin layer, there are the following problems. That is, EMAA has a carboxylic acid in the molecule, and therefore has a hydrogen bond between the molecules, and thus requires high-temperature heating in order to ensure the fluidity of the resin composition suitable for extrusion. If the heating is lowered, there is room for using another pyrolytic foaming agent, but in that case, the fluidity of the resin composition becomes insufficient and the film-forming property is hindered. For this reason, there is a problem that only an azodicarbonamide (ADCA) type foaming agent having a high foaming start temperature can be used as the pyrolytic foaming agent. Moreover, since the ADCA foaming agent is used, the ADCA foaming agent and the EMAA resin react with each other in the foaming step, and the foamed resin layer turns yellow. This yellowing leads to a decrease in the design of the foamed wallpaper.

Therefore, a foamed wallpaper obtained by forming a foaming agent-containing resin layer by melt extrusion of a resin composition containing EMAA, and further foaming the foaming agent-containing resin layer to form a foamed resin layer, Development of a foam wallpaper that is suppressed in generation and has good film-forming properties is desired.

The

  The resin component contained in the resin composition may be substantially only EMAA, but other resin components may be added if necessary.

The methacrylic acid content (MAA content) of EMAA is not limited, but is preferably 15% by weight or less, and more preferably 10 to 15% by weight. By setting the MAA content low, it is easy to improve the scratch resistance of the foamed wallpaper.

  The pyrolytic foaming agent contains an ADCA foaming agent and an OBSH foaming agent. The content ratio of the two is not limited, but by setting the total amount of both to 100% by weight and the content of the OBSH foaming agent to 5% by weight or more, it is yellow enough to ensure whiteness as a white wallpaper. The occurrence of changes can be effectively suppressed. That is, it is preferable that ADCA foaming agent: OBSH foaming agent = 9.5: 0.5 to 1: 1 (weight ratio). More preferably, it is about 9: 1 to 3: 1 (weight ratio).

From the viewpoint of the expansion ratio, it is 1.5 times or more, preferably about 3 to 7 times, and the foaming agent is preferably about 1 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the resin component.

  Various additives may be added to the resin composition. For example, inorganic fillers, pigments and cell regulators. In addition, stabilizers, lubricants, and the like can be used as additives.

  What is necessary is just to implement according to the method described in the manufacturing method of the postscript as a method of foaming a foaming agent containing resin layer.

Non-foamed resin layer A
A non-foamed resin layer A may be further formed on the front surface of the foamed resin layer.

The non-foamed resin layer (non-foamed resin layer A) mainly protects the foamed resin layer. In the present invention, a layer formed of a resin composition containing, as a resin component, a polymer obtained using at least one of acrylic acid (CH ₂ ═CHCOOH) and methacrylic acid (CH ₂ ═C (CH ₃ ) COOH) as a monomer. Is preferably a non-foamed resin layer.

  As the resin component, for example, a copolymer obtained by a combination of at least one monomer of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and ethylene can be suitably used as the resin component. More specifically, it is desirable to use at least one of EMAA, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, and ionomer resin. As the ionomer resin, a resin having a structure in which EMAA and / or ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer molecules are intermolecularly bonded with metal ions such as sodium and zinc can be used. When such a resin component is used, it is possible to form a strong layer particularly due to hydrogen bonds in the resin, so that excellent scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and the like can be obtained. These may be known or commercially available.

  The content of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid in the copolymer is preferably about 4 to 15% by weight. Such a resin can also use a commercial item. A known additive can also be blended in the resin composition.

  The thickness of the non-foamed resin layer is not limited, but is preferably about 10 to 50 μm, more preferably about 10 to 20 μm.

  Moreover, although content of the said resin component in a resin composition is not limited, Usually, it is preferable to set suitably in the range of 70 to 100 weight%.

  The melt flow rate value of the resin component depends on the type of resin component used and the like, but generally may be set as appropriate within a range of 0.7 g / 10 min or more. Usually, it is preferably in the range of 0.7 to 10.0 g / 10 minutes, particularly 1.0 to 7.0 g / 10 minutes, and more preferably 2.0 to 5.0 g / 10 minutes. By using a material having such a numerical range, more excellent scratch resistance, wear resistance and the like can be obtained.

Pattern Pattern Layer In the present invention, a pattern pattern layer may be provided on the front surface of the non-foamed resin layer A as necessary.

  The pattern layer imparts design properties to the foamed wallpaper. Examples of the design pattern include a wood grain pattern, a stone pattern, a grain pattern, a tiled pattern, a brickwork pattern, a cloth pattern, a leather pattern, a geometric figure, a character, a symbol, and an abstract pattern. The pattern can be selected according to the type of foam wallpaper.

  The pattern pattern layer can be formed, for example, by printing a pattern pattern on the front surface of the non-foamed resin layer A. In addition, when forming a picture pattern layer, you may form a primer layer previously as needed. Examples of printing methods include gravure printing, flexographic printing, silk screen printing, and offset printing. As the printing ink, a printing ink containing a colorant, a binder resin, and a solvent (or a dispersion medium) can be used. These inks may be known or commercially available.

  As the colorant, for example, a pigment used in the above-described foaming agent-containing resin layer can be appropriately used.

  The binder resin is, for example, an acrylic resin, a styrene resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, a chlorinated polyolefin resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, a polyvinyl butyral resin, an alkyd resin, or a petroleum resin. Examples include resins, ketone resins, epoxy resins, melamine resins, fluorine resins, silicone resins, fiber derivatives, rubber resins, and the like.

  Examples of the solvent (or dispersion medium) include petroleum organic solvents such as hexane, heptane, octane, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, and methylcyclohexane; ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, 2-methoxyethyl acetate, and acetic acid-2 -Ester-based organic solvents such as ethoxyethyl; alcohol-based organic solvents such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, normal propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone Organic solvents; ether organic solvents such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran; dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene Chlorinated organic solvents; and water.

  The thickness of the design pattern layer is different from the type of design pattern, but is generally preferably about 0.1 to 10 μm.

Surface protective layer (overcoat layer)
In the present invention, a surface protective layer may be provided on the surface of the design pattern layer for the purpose of adjusting the gloss and / or protecting the design pattern layer. The kind of surface protective layer is not limited. If it is a surface protective layer aiming at gloss adjustment, there exists a surface protective layer containing known fillers, such as a silica, for example. As a method for forming the surface protective layer, a known method such as gravure printing can be employed. In addition, when the adhesiveness of a pattern pattern layer and a surface protective layer is not fully acquired, a surface protective layer can also be provided after carrying out the adhesion process (primer process) of the surface of a pattern pattern layer.

  When forming a surface protective layer for the purpose of surface strength (such as scratch resistance) of foamed wallpaper, stain resistance, protection of the pattern layer, etc., those containing ionizing radiation curable resins as resin components are suitable. is there. The ionizing radiation curable resin is preferably one that undergoes radical polymerization (curing) by electron beam irradiation.

  The thickness of the surface protective layer is not limited, but is preferably about 0.1 to 15 μm.

Embossing In this invention, you may attach | subject an embossing pattern suitably. In this case, embossing may be performed on the outermost surface layer (the side opposite to the paper-based substrate) of the foam wallpaper. Embossing can be performed by known means such as pressing an embossed plate. For example, when the outermost surface layer is a surface protective layer, a desired embossed pattern can be formed by pressing the embossed plate after heat-softening the front surface. Examples of the embossed pattern include a wood grain plate conduit groove, a stone plate surface unevenness, a cloth surface texture, a satin texture, a grain texture, a hairline, and a multiline groove.

2. The manufacturing method of foaming wallpaper The manufacturing method of foaming wallpaper is not specifically limited. For example, a foam wallpaper having a foamed resin layer and a non-foamed resin layer A on a paper-based substrate is heated after film formation by simultaneous melt extrusion of the foaming agent-containing resin layer and the non-foamed resin layer A on a paper-based substrate. Thus, the foaming agent-containing resin layer is obtained as a foamed resin layer.

  For simultaneous melt extrusion, a multi-manifold type T-die capable of simultaneously forming two layers can be used. In this case, the resin composition for forming the foaming agent-containing resin layer and the resin composition for forming the non-foamed resin layer are placed in separate cylinders, and two types and two layers are simultaneously extruded to form and laminate. That's fine. In this method, the coextruded laminate is simultaneously laminated (film formation) on a paper-based substrate. The resin layer laminated simultaneously with extrusion on the paper base is bonded to the paper base because it has adhesiveness by heat melting.

  Alternatively, a laminate in which two types and two layers are simultaneously formed in advance may be prepared, placed on a paper substrate, and bonded to the paper substrate by heat lamination.

  In this invention, since MFR (120 degreeC) of the resin composition for forming a foaming agent containing resin layer is set to 1.5-10 g / 10min, the fluidity | liquidity suitable for extrusion of the said resin composition Therefore, the heating temperature applied for achieving the above can be about 90 to 140 ° C, preferably about 100 to 120 ° C. For this reason, conventionally only ADCA foaming agents could be used substantially, but OBSH foaming agents can also be used in combination.

  In addition, when an inorganic filler is contained in the resin composition forming the foaming agent-containing resin layer, and the foaming agent-containing resin layer is formed by extrusion molding, an extrusion port (so-called die) of an extrusion molding machine is used. Inorganic filler residues (so-called eyes and eyes) are likely to occur, and this tends to be a foreign matter on the sheet surface. Therefore, when the inorganic filler is contained in the resin composition forming the foaming agent-containing resin layer, the non-foaming resin layer A and the non-foaming resin layer B can be coextruded together with the foaming agent-containing resin layer. preferable. The coextrusion molding can be performed, for example, by using a multi-manifold type T die. Thus, by simultaneously extruding and molding the foaming agent-containing resin layer between the non-foamed resin layers, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the eyes.

  After simultaneous lamination on the paper substrate, the foamed resin layer is formed by heating the foaming agent-containing resin layer. The heating conditions are not limited as long as the foamed resin layer is formed by the decomposition of the pyrolytic foaming agent. The heating temperature is preferably about 210 to 240 ° C., and the heating time is preferably about 20 to 80 seconds.

  Electron beam irradiation may be performed before the heat treatment. Thereby, since the resin component can be crosslinked, the surface strength of the foamed wallpaper, the degree of foaming, etc. can be controlled. The energy of the electron beam is preferably about 150 to 250 kV. The irradiation amount is preferably about 1 to 7 Mrad. A known electron beam irradiation apparatus can be used as the electron beam source. Crosslinking can also be performed using a chemical crosslinking agent (also referred to as a crosslinking agent or a crosslinking aid).

  In the case of performing electron beam irradiation, the composition may contain a crosslinking agent. Any crosslinking agent that promotes crosslinking by electron beam irradiation may be used. Examples thereof include polyfunctional monomers such as neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, oligomers, and the like. The crosslinking agent is preferably about 0 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 4 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the resin component.

  When a surface protective layer containing an ionizing radiation curable resin is formed, the surface protective layer can be cured by electron beam irradiation. Such electron beam irradiation can be performed simultaneously (same processing) as electron beam irradiation performed to crosslink the resin contained in the foaming agent-containing resin layer. That is, after forming a foaming agent-containing resin layer, a non-foaming resin layer, a pattern layer, and a surface protective layer containing an ionizing radiation curable resin in this order, the resin contained in the foaming agent-containing resin layer is irradiated with an electron beam. The resin contained in the surface protective layer can be cured while being crosslinked.

  When producing a foam wallpaper having a pattern layer, it is preferable to form the pattern layer on the surface of the non-foamed resin layer before the heat treatment. The pattern pattern layer may be formed as described above.

  Since the MFR (120 ° C.) of the resin composition for extruding the foaming agent-containing resin layer is 1.5 to 10 g / 10 min, the foamed wallpaper of the present invention has a lower temperature than the conventional extrusion temperature conditions. Even so, the fluidity of the resin composition suitable for extrusion can be ensured. Thereby, since it becomes possible to use an OBSH foaming agent in addition to the ADCA foaming agent, yellowing due to the reaction between the ADCA foaming agent and EMAA can be effectively suppressed. That is, the foamed wallpaper of the present invention is suppressed in design deterioration due to yellowing and has good extrusion characteristics (productivity of foamed wallpaper).

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.
