Description

  The present invention relates to a decorative sheet.

  Conventionally, a decorative sheet in which a pattern layer, a transparent resin layer, and a transparent surface protective layer are laminated on a base sheet is known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a pattern layer, a transparent adhesive layer, a transparent polypropylene resin layer, and a transparent surface protective layer made of ionizing radiation curable resin are sequentially formed on a base sheet made of polyolefin resin. A decorative sheet formed is disclosed. In this decorative sheet, the base sheet and the transparent resin layer are both made of a synthetic resin, which is referred to as a so-called doubling specification (see FIG. 2). In the doubling specification, if the total thickness of the base sheet and the transparent resin layer is 100 μm or more, the bending process is easy.

  However, the doubling-type decorative sheet has a problem that, when it is bent, the transparent resin layer is whitened and the design is likely to be deteriorated. Moreover, since there is a transparent resin layer on the pattern layer, when the transparent resin layer has haze (such as turbidity), the sharpness of the pattern tends to decrease. In addition, since the pattern layer is interposed between the base sheet and the transparent resin layer, the adhesive force between the base sheet and the transparent resin layer tends to decrease with time. Furthermore, since it is necessary to subject the transparent resin layer to a weathering treatment, the production cost tends to increase.

  On the other hand, a decorative sheet (so-called single-layer specification) in which the thickness of the base sheet (synthetic resin layer) is set to 100 μm or more without providing a transparent resin layer has been proposed (see FIG. 3). In this single-layer specification, since the synthetic resin layer is thick, bending is easy. Moreover, the whitening at the time of a bending does not become a problem by making a base material sheet into a colored layer. However, it is a problem that production cost tends to be high in that a base sheet having a large thickness is prepared.

  As an improvement of the doubling specification, a decorative sheet (so-called back print specification) in which the base sheet is not provided and the thickness of the transparent resin layer is set to 100 μm or more has been proposed (see FIG. 4). In this backprint specification, although it is not necessary to prepare a base sheet, the production cost tends to be high in terms of preparing a transparent resin layer with a large thickness and requiring weathering treatment on the transparent resin layer, Further, when the transparent resin layer has haze, there is a problem that the sharpness of the pattern is likely to be lowered.

Therefore, development of a decorative sheet that has improved the disadvantages of these conventional products is eagerly desired.
