Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a decorative sheet and a decorative board using the decorative sheet.

BACKGROUND ART When it is desired to decorate members used in building materials, furniture, home electric appliances, etc., a decorative board to which a decorative sheet having a design is adhered is generally used.

BACKGROUND ART In order to impart visual design to a decorative sheet, the decorative sheet may be subjected to embossing or the like to form an uneven shape to impart a three-dimensional visual effect.

For example, in Patent Document 1, a pattern printed layer on which a pattern is printed, a transparent thermoplastic resin layer having an uneven pattern that matches the pattern, and a surface of the transparent thermoplastic resin layer are formed on one side of a base sheet. A decorative sheet and a method for producing the decorative sheet are disclosed, which are characterized by laminating a surface protective layer for protection and a luster adjusting layer having a pattern corresponding to the luster state in harmony with the pattern in this order.

In the decorative sheet of Patent Document 1, an uneven pattern is formed on the side of the transparent thermoplastic resin layer having the surface protective layer. As a result, the pattern of the pattern printed layer and the uneven pattern of the transparent thermoplastic resin layer are synchronized to improve the tactile sensation and the three-dimensional effect, thereby improving the realism of the pattern.

However, since the base sheet of the decorative sheet of Patent Document 1 is a sheet-like layer made of a resin film, the pattern of the pattern printed layer provided on one side of the base sheet and the transparent thermoplastic resin layer are different. When synchronizing the uneven pattern, it is difficult to synchronize due to slight variations in performance due to differences in base sheet lots and changes in the work environment (temperature, etc.) during manufacturing, and deviations in synchronization occur. was sometimes unstable.
In recent years, there has been a demand for extremely high-precision design that does not deviate in synchronization between the pattern of the pattern layer and the uneven shape formed on the decorative sheet, and the decorative sheet of Patent Document 1 is still sufficient. That said, there was room for further improvement.
In addition, since decorative sheets are sometimes used for fittings (doors, doors, etc.) and floor materials, they are required to have sufficient scratch resistance.

<Decorative sheet>
The decorative sheet of the present invention will be described below.
In the following description, the lower and upper limits of numerical ranges represented by "-" mean "more than or equal to" (for example, α to β means greater than or equal to α and less than or equal to β).

The decorative sheet of the present invention has at least a pattern layer, a transparent resin layer, a transparent thermoplastic resin layer and a surface protection layer in this order on one side of the base sheet.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a decorative sheet.
In an example of the decorative sheet of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, a decorative sheet 10 has at least a pattern layer 2, a transparent resin layer 3, and a surface protective layer 4 in this order on one side of a base sheet 1, The pattern layer 2 has a characteristic portion 2a and a non-characteristic portion 2b.
In addition, the transparent resin layer 3 has recesses (D ₁ ) aligned with the characteristic portions of the pattern layer 2 on the side opposite to the side having the pattern layer 2. In the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention shown in FIG. , _the pattern layer 2 has a concave portion (D 2 ) positioned in the stacking direction of the concave portion (D ₁ ) on the side opposite to the side having the base sheet 1 .

The decorative sheet 10 of the present invention preferably has both a machine direction elastic modulus (E _MD ) and a width direction elastic modulus (E _CD ) of 750 MPa or more and 1100 MPa or less. If the pressure is less than 750 MPa, the design of the pattern layer 2 of the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention may be out of sync with the concave portion (D ₁ ), resulting in a loss of visual three-dimensional effect and poor design. If it exceeds 1100 MPa, the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention becomes too rigid and cracks may easily occur when the decorative sheet 10 is used as a flooring material. A more preferable lower limit of the machine direction elastic modulus (E _MD ) and the width direction elastic modulus (E _CD ) is 770 MPa, a more preferred upper limit is 1050 MPa, a still more preferred lower limit is 790 MPa, and a still more preferred upper limit is 1000 MPa.

Here, the elastic modulus in the flow direction (E _MD ) is the direction horizontal to the flow of the wood grain pattern of the pattern layer of the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention, and the elastic modulus in the width direction (E _CD ) is the wood grain. It is a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the pattern, and both can be easily distinguished from the wood grain pattern appearing on the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention.
In addition, the modulus of elasticity ( _EMD ) in the machine direction and the modulus of elasticity ( _ECD ) in the width direction are obtained by, for example, measuring the elastic modulus ( _EMD ) and the elastic modulus in the width direction (E _CD ), and measured at a temperature of 20 ° C. using a tensile compression tester at a tensile speed of 50 mm / min and a distance between chucks of 80 mm. It was calculated by the following formula from the initial linear portion of the tensile stress-strain curve.
E = Δρ/Δε
E: Elastic modulus Δρ: Stress difference due to the original average cross-sectional area between two points on the straight line Δε: Strain difference between the same two points

Further, the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention preferably has a ratio of elastic moduli in the machine direction to the width direction ( _EMD / _ECD ) of 1.00 or more and 1.20 or less. Within the range of the above ratio, when the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention is stretched in the flow direction and adjusted so that the pattern layer and the shape of the recess (D1) match, the pattern layer and the shape of the recess (D1) in the horizontal direction are different. Misalignment is less likely to occur, and high designability can be maintained. A more preferable upper limit of the above ratio is 1.19, and a further preferable upper limit is 1.18.

The modulus of elasticity in the machine direction (E _MD ) and the modulus of elasticity in the width direction (E _CD ) and their ratios are, for example, the conditions for producing the surface protective layer (mixing ratio of raw materials, curing conditions, aging treatment conditions, etc. ) can be adjusted within the range described above.
Next, each layer constituting the decorative sheet 10 will be described.
