Description

  The present invention transcribes decorative materials used on the surface of buildings such as houses and stores, vehicles such as trains and automobiles, airplanes, ships, interiors, exterior materials, flooring materials, wallpaper, ceilings, etc. In particular, the present invention relates to a decorative material called a “cushion floor” in which unevenness is provided on the surface by partially suppressing resin foaming, and a transfer sheet to which a foaming inhibitor is transferred.

  As a foamed resin usually used in a decorative material obtained by foaming the resin layer on the surface, a heat-foamable polyvinyl chloride resin is known. In order to promote foaming of the thermally foamable polyvinyl chloride resin, a stabilizer such as zinc or barium is added. Due to the action of the stabilizer, a polyvinyl chloride resin which normally foams at a high temperature can be foamed at a relatively low temperature.

  Then, on the thermally foamable polyvinyl chloride resin, a pattern layer made of foam suppression ink is provided, and foaming of the portion where the foam suppression ink is provided is suppressed to be a recess, and the portion where the foam suppression ink is not provided There is known a cosmetic material in which foaming is left as it is as a convex portion and the surface is uneven.

  As the foam suppression ink, a triazine-based foam suppression ink is known. Triazine inhibits the function of the stabilizer, and the thermally foamable polyvinyl chloride resin in the portion where the triazine-based foaming suppression ink is present cannot be foamed unless it is at a high temperature.

  As a method of suitably providing a pattern layer made of foam suppression ink on the thermally foamable polyvinyl chloride resin, before performing foaming, a pattern layer made of foam suppression ink is provided on the transfer sheet, and this is heated. It is possible to transfer it onto a foaming polyvinyl chloride resin.

  However, since triazine as a foam inhibitor has a high melting point of 300 ° C. or higher, it is difficult to quickly penetrate the polyvinyl chloride resin layer before foaming starts, and a good foam suppression effect can be obtained. could not.

  It is also conceivable to use benzotriazole, triazole or the like having a low melting point of 160 ° C. or lower as the foaming inhibitor. However, when the pattern layer is provided as a part of a decorative material, for example, a concave part of a large pattern such as a tile joint, it may be provided. However, when the pattern layer is provided over the entire surface of the decorative material, the transfer sheet is provided with a pattern layer. It was predicted that blocking would easily occur after the sheet was formed, and it would be difficult to provide a transfer sheet with stable quality.

Furthermore, it is difficult to adjust the degree of penetration of the foam inhibitor, and if both the width of the pattern layer where the foam suppression ink is provided and the width of the pattern layer where the foam suppression ink is not provided are kept within an appropriate range, foaming will occur. The suppression is too much and the convex part is crushed or the foaming is not completely suppressed and the concave part is buried. Furthermore, the inventors have found out that it is difficult to adjust the balance between these and the above-described blocking problem.
Japanese Patent Publication No.43-28636 JP-A-11-267407 JP 2002-200717 A JP 2004-34618 A JP 2005-22373 A JP-A-5-318612

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and the problem is that the transfer sheet is free from problems such as blocking, and a pattern layer using foam suppression ink on the entire transfer sheet. A transfer sheet that can be transferred to a foamed resin layer of a decorative material and the pattern is not crushed even when foamed. To provide materials.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, that is, the invention according to claim 1 is a transfer sheet in which a pattern layer composed of a foam-suppressing ink having transferability is provided on a base sheet. It contains a benzotriazole-based foaming inhibitor, the pattern layer is provided on the entire surface of the substrate sheet, and the width of the part of the pattern layer provided with the foaming suppression ink is 0.50 to 1.27 mm. The transfer sheet is characterized in that the width of the portion of the pattern layer where no foam suppression ink is provided is 0.50 to 1.27 mm.

  Further, the invention according to claim 2 is that a foam resin layer and a pattern layer made of foam suppression ink are provided in this order on the decorative material base material, and foaming of the pattern layer where the foam suppression ink is provided In a decorative material that is suppressed and does not suppress foaming of the pattern layer where no foam suppression ink is provided, and the surface is provided with an uneven pattern, the foamed resin layer is made of a foamable polyvinyl chloride resin, and the foam suppression is performed. The ink contains a benzotriazole-based foam inhibitor, the pattern layer is provided on the entire surface of the base sheet, and the width of the portion of the pattern layer provided with the foam suppression ink is 0.50 to 1.27 mm. The width of the portion of the pattern layer where the foam suppression ink is not provided is 0.50 to 1.27 mm.

  According to the invention of claim 1, blocking is not generated by using a benzotriazole-based antifoaming ink and limiting the width of the pattern layer where the antifoaming ink is provided and the portion where the antifoaming ink is not provided. It became possible to provide a stable quality sheet.

  Further, according to the invention of claim 2, by limiting the width of the portion of the pattern layer where the foam suppression ink is provided and the portion where it is not provided, the pattern collapse due to foaming failure or the filling of the recess due to the fact that the foam cannot be completely suppressed Thus, it has become possible to provide a decorative material having good surface irregularities due to a foaming part and a non-foaming part.
