Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to floorboards used for buildings and the like, and more particularly, to a floorboard having a decorative sheet adhered to a surface thereof.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a decorative sheet is stuck on the surface of a floorboard used for the above-mentioned applications for decoration, waterproofing, or warpage prevention. As this decorative sheet, a polyvinyl chloride film is used, and a decorative sheet decorated with printing, embossing or the like (see JP-B-28-5036, JP-B-58-14312, etc.) has been used. However, in recent years, as an alternative to this, (I) a decorative sheet using a polyolefin-based film such as polyethylene or polypropylene (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-62255) has been proposed. (II) a mixture of a polyolefin resin obtained by graft polymerization of a polar functional group and an olefin thermoplastic elastomer (see JP-A-6-210808 and JP-A-4-504384); or , A mixture of a polyolefin resin and a polyurethane resin using a compatibilizer (JP-A-7-26038) Broadcast reference), etc. have also been proposed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, a decorative sheet using the above-mentioned polyolefin resin sheet is not always satisfactory as a surface material of a floorboard. That is, a decorative surface sheet used for floorboards of buildings or the like usually requires the following functions (1) to (10).

(1) Thermoformability comparable to polyvinyl chloride. In particular, the change in elongation at constant load due to temperature change should change continuously with the same gentleness as polyvinyl chloride. In addition, the deterioration of the mechanical properties such as the decrease in strength due to heating → cooling shall not occur. (2) creep deformation resistance. In particular, a constant load is often applied to a fitting portion or the like for a long time, and when creep deformation occurs, the load portion is turned up or peeled off. Therefore, it is required that the material does not cause creep deformation as much as possible. (3) Cold bending strength. When bending the floor, particularly in cold weather, if the stress is not sufficiently relaxed, whitening, cracking, breakage, etc. are likely to occur in the bent portion. (4) Organic solvent resistance. Prevents the decorative sheet from swelling and deforming due to the solvent of the adhesive that bonds the decorative sheet and the substrate (adherend). (5) Elongation at break, impact resistance. This property is required to prevent cracks in the bent part. (6) moderate flexural modulus. This is necessary in order for the decorative sheet to follow the bent part sufficiently. (7) Good transparency. This is particularly required for topsheets. (8) Whitening and turbidity due to recrystallization should not occur even when heating and cooling accompanying embossing and the like are applied. (9) Easy adhesion. This is particularly required for substrate sheets. (10) Excellent weather resistance.

The decorative sheet having the specification (I) is difficult to mass-produce industrially, and the polyolefin resin has a high crystallinity. For example, as shown in a curve b in FIG. As compared with the polyvinyl chloride resin (curve a in FIG. 1), the change in physical properties before and after the melting point is steeper, and the range of conditions that can be processed is narrower than that of the conventional general-purpose polyvinyl chloride sheet. Among the conditions, particularly, the conditions (1) and (5) to (10) were not sufficiently satisfied. In the case of specification (II), the conditions of (1), (5) and (6) are improved by mixing an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer, and the thermoformability and embossability are improved. However, transparency, weather resistance, and heat resistance were insufficient.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconvenience of a conventional decorative sheet using an olefin resin as a floorboard surface material as described above, and specifically, while using an olefin resin. An object of the present invention is to provide a floorboard to which a surface decorative sheet having the same thermoformability, weather resistance, and transparency as a decorative sheet using a polyvinyl chloride resin is adhered.

FIG. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between temperature and elongation under a constant load. Curve “a” shows a semi-rigid vinyl chloride sheet, curve “b” shows a sheet based on crystalline high-density polyethylene, Curve c shows the case of the laminated sheet used for the floorboard of the present invention described later.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present inventor has conducted a number of experiments and studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has found that the decorative sheet to be attached to at least one surface of the substrate surface is not a single-layer sheet but at least a base sheet. By forming a two-layer structure of the surface sheet to be laminated thereon, and imparting the above-mentioned conditions required for the decorative sheet to each sheet, the olefin-based resin decorative sheet having high practicality as a surface material for floorboards is provided. And found that this could be obtained, leading to the present invention.

[0009] Then, the base sheet is made to carry out the conditions (1) to (6) and (9) under the above conditions, and the top sheet laminated on the surface of the base sheet is subjected to the conditions (1) to (8). ) And (10).

[0010] Under the premise, as a polyolefin as a base for blending a base sheet, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) was selected as one having excellent basic performance. Table 1 shows the degree of satisfaction of the conditions (1) to (10) required for the decorative sheet of high-density polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0011]

[Table 1]

* 1: Steep change in elongation of the sheet around the melting point. Also, during embossing, the elongation is reduced due to the improvement of crystallization by cooling. * 2: Yield point stress is high. * 3: Curvature modulus is too high. * 4: Cloudiness due to fine crystal grains.

[0013] Therefore, an elastomer was added to inhibit crystallization and to absorb and relax stress during molding. As a result, each condition changed as shown in Table 2.

[0014]

[Table 2]

As a result, the conditions (1), (5) and (6) were satisfied, but the creep resistance of (2) was somewhat reduced. Therefore, an inorganic fine particle extender was further added. As a result, each condition changed as shown in Table 3. As a result, it was confirmed that the creep resistance was also improved, and that a material satisfying the performances (1) to (6) and (9) as the substrate sheet was obtained.

[0016]

[Table 3]

Next, an isotactic polypropylene sheet having high transparency and excellent weather resistance was selected as a surface sheet to be overlaid on the base sheet. The degree of satisfaction of the conditions (1) to (10) was examined for this sheet. Table 4 shows the degree.

[0018]

[Table 4]

* 5: Due to the high crystallinity of isotactic polypropylene. * 6: Recrystallization caused cloudiness.

Therefore, the degree of satisfaction of the above conditions (1) to (10) was examined using a thermoplastic elastomer obtained by copolymerizing ethylene and butene with propylene to lower the crystallinity of the polymer. Table 5 shows the degree.

[0021]

[Table 5]

As shown in Table 5, by using a thermoplastic elastomer composed of an ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer, the degree of sufficiency of (1) and (3) is somewhat insufficient. The layered sheet provides additional reinforcement, and the stress at the time of bending is partially dispersed in the base sheet layer, so whitening and cracks are not noticeable in the state of the laminated sheet. . In addition, although the easy adhesive property of (9) is not completely satisfied, in the case of a topsheet, a suitable adhesive is selected at the time of production of the decorative sheet, or the base sheet is bonded to the base sheet by using heat fusion. It was confirmed that it was sufficient to be able to adhere, and that it did not hinder the finished decorative sheet.

The present invention is based on the above experimental results, and the floorboard of the present invention is basically composed of a decorative plate having a decorative sheet adhered to at least one surface of a substrate. Here, the decorative sheet to be adhered to the surface is formed on a base sheet made of high-density polyethylene or polypropylene as a main raw material, to which an elastomer, a coloring agent, and an inorganic filler are added. , A colorless or colored transparent thermoplastic elastomer surface sheet made of an ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer is laminated, and if necessary, one or both of the base sheet and the surface sheet are patterned. It is a makeup sheet.

[0024]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The high-density polyethylene in the present invention is preferably a polyethylene having a specific gravity of 0.94 to 0.96, which is a polymer having a high degree of crystallinity obtained by a low-pressure method and having a high degree of crystallinity and having a small structure. Density polyethylene is used. Further, as the polypropylene, preferably, isotactic polypropylene is used.

As the elastomer in the present invention, a diene rubber, a hydrogenated diene rubber, an olefin elastomer or the like is used. The hydrogenated diene rubber is obtained by adding a hydrogen atom to at least a part of the double bond of the diene rubber molecule, and suppresses the crystallization of the polyolefin resin (high-density polyethylene in the present invention). Increase flexibility. Examples of the diene rubber include isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, propylene / butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile / butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile / isoprene rubber, and styrene butadiene rubber. The olefin elastomer is an elastic copolymer obtained by adding at least one kind of polyene that can be copolymerized with two or more kinds of olefins. As the olefin, ethylene, propylene, α-olefin or the like is used. For 1,4 hexadiene, cyclic diene, norbornene and the like are used. Preferred olefin copolymer rubbers include, for example, elastic copolymers containing olefin as a main component such as ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber, ethylene-propylene-nonconjugated diene rubber, and ethylene-butadiene copolymer rubber. . In addition, these elastomers may be appropriately cross-linked by using a cross-linking agent such as an organic peroxide or sulfur, if necessary.

The addition amount of these elastomers is about 10 to 60% by weight, preferably about 30% by weight. If the amount is less than 10% by weight, the change in elongation at a constant load becomes too steep, and the elongation at break, impact resistance, and easy adhesion decrease. If the amount is more than 60% by weight, transparency, weather resistance and A decrease in creep resistance occurs.

As the inorganic filler in the present invention, powder having an average particle size of about 0.1 to 10 μm such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, clay, talc, or the like is used. The amount of addition is about 1 to 60% by weight, preferably about 5 to 30% by weight. If the amount is less than 1% by weight, the creep deformation resistance and the adhesion will decrease. If the amount is more than 60% by weight, the elongation at break and the impact resistance will decrease.

The coloring may be either transparent coloring or opaque (concealing) coloring, but opaque coloring is generally preferred in order to cover the adherend.

Further, if necessary, a heat stabilizer, a flame retardant, a radical scavenger and the like are added. The heat stabilizer is a known one such as a phenol type, a sulfite type, a phenylalkane type, a phosphite type and an amine type, and is used when the prevention of deterioration such as thermal discoloration during thermal processing is further improved. As the flame retardant, powders such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are used, and these are added when it is necessary to impart flame retardancy.

[0030] A blend of these materials is formed into a film by a conventional method such as a calendering method to obtain an opaque colored base sheet. As described above, the obtained base sheet satisfies the conditions (1) to (6) and (9) required for the base sheet of the decorative sheet. The thickness of the base sheet is about 50 to 200 μm, preferably about 100 μm.

The surface of the base sheet is preferably subjected to an easy-adhesion treatment such as application of an easy-adhesion layer, corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, and ozone treatment. Acrylic resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyester resin, urethane resin, chlorinated polypropylene, and chlorinated polyethylene are used for the easy-adhesion layer (also called a primer layer or an anchor layer). Particularly, a urethane resin is desirable.

Examples of the acrylic resin include poly (methyl) methacrylate, poly (meth) ethyl acrylate, poly (meth) acrylate, butyl poly (meth) acrylate, and methyl (meth) acrylate / (meth) acrylate. ) Butyl acrylate copolymer, Ethyl (meth) acrylate / butyl (meth) acrylate copolymer, Ethylene / methyl (meth) acrylate, Styrene / methyl (meth) acrylate copolymer For example, an acrylic resin made of a homo- or copolymer containing a (meth) acrylic ester (here, (meth) acryl means acryl or methacryl) is used.

The urethane resin is a polyurethane containing a polyol (polyhydric alcohol) as a main component and isocyanate as a crosslinking agent (curing agent). The polyol has two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule, and examples thereof include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, acrylic polyol, polyester polyol, and polyether polyol.

As the isocyanate, a polyvalent isocyanate having two or more isocyanate groups in a molecule is used. For example, aromatic isocyanates such as 2-4 tolylene diisocyanate, xylene diisocyanate, and 4-4 diphenylmethane diisocyanate; (Cyclic) isocyanates are used. Alternatively, adducts or multimers of these isocyanates can also be used.

A pattern layer is formed as necessary on the surface subjected to the easy adhesion treatment. The pattern layer is formed on one or both of the base sheet and the topsheet. FIG. 2A shows an example in which an easy-adhesion layer is formed, and an easy-adhesion layer 4 is provided between a surface sheet 2 laminated on a base sheet 1 and a pattern layer 3. As shown in FIG. 2D, the base sheet 1 may be provided with the easy-adhesion layer 4 on the side facing the substrate 20 (adherend). The pattern processing includes printing of the pattern layer 3 as shown in FIG. 2A, embossing (heating press) as shown in FIG. Further, the colored ink 6 may be filled in the concave portions of the concave-convex pattern 5 by a known wiping method.

As the pattern printing, a pattern is formed with ink (or paint) using a known printing method such as gravure printing, offset printing, silk screen printing, and transfer printing from a transfer sheet. Examples of the pattern include a wood grain pattern, a stone grain pattern, a cloth grain pattern, a leather crest pattern, a geometric figure, a character, a symbol, and a solid surface.

As the ink (or paint), chlorinated polyolefin resins such as chlorinated polyethylene and chlorinated polypropylene, polyester resins, urethane resins, acrylic resins, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymers are used as binders. One type or a mixture of two or more types is used by using coalescing, cellulose resin or the like. To this, those obtained by adding known pigments as listed above are used.

When printing directly on the base sheet, chlorinated polyolefin, urethane resin, or the like is preferable as the binder in terms of adhesiveness. However, if a layer is formed by appropriately selecting an easy-adhesion primer, other binders may be used. Even give sufficient adhesion.

The embossing is performed by heating and softening a base sheet, pressurizing and shaping with an embossing plate, and cooling and fixing, and a known sheet-fed or rotary embossing machine is used. . Examples of the uneven shape include a wood grain board conduit groove, a stone board surface unevenness (granite cleavage plane, etc.), a cloth surface texture, a satin finish, a grain, a hairline, a linear groove, and the like. The same coloring ink as described above can be used. However, from the viewpoint of abrasion resistance, it is preferable to use a two-component curable urethane resin as a binder.

The metal thin film is formed using a metal such as aluminum, chromium, gold, silver, and copper by a method such as vacuum evaporation and sputtering. Alternatively, a combination of these may be used. The metal thin film may be provided on the entire surface or partially in a pattern.

The ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer resin may be used alone, or may be used as a mixture of the above or, if necessary, another polyolefin resin.

The ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer resin composition may optionally contain various additives, reinforcing agents, and fillers, such as ultraviolet rays, in order to reinforce the functions required for the surface layer of the decorative sheet. Absorbers, light stabilizers, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, flame retardants, etc. are added.

The UV absorber and the light stabilizer are for imparting good weather resistance (light resistance) to the resin, and the amount of the UV absorber and the light stabilizer is generally 0.5 to 5 for both the UV absorber and the light stabilizer. % By weight. Generally, it is preferable to use an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer in combination. As the ultraviolet absorber, organic substances such as benzotriazole, benzophenone, and salicyl ester, or inorganic substances such as zinc oxide, cerium oxide, and titanium oxide having a diameter of 0.2 μm or less can be used. As a light stabilizer, a radical scavenger such as a hindered amine diameter radical scavenger such as bis- (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl) sebacate and a piperidine-based radical scavenger can be used. . The flame retardant may be the same as in the case of the base sheet.

A blend of these materials is formed into a film by a conventional method such as a calendering method to obtain a colorless or colored transparent ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer-based thermoplastic elastomer.

The lamination method may be melt extrusion coating (extrusion coating), fusion by hot pressing, or dry lamination using an adhesive such as a two-component curable urethane resin or a polyester resin.

Further, a pattern layer is formed on the surface of the laminated sheet on the surface sheet side as necessary. The pattern processing may be embossing (heating press) as shown in FIG. 2C, shaping of the concavo-convex pattern 7 by hairline processing, or printing of a pattern. At this time, if necessary, the embossed surface is subjected to an easy adhesion treatment such as the corona treatment described above, and the coloring ink is filled.

The pattern printing method, the type of pattern, the type of ink (or paint), the binder, and the like may be the same as those of the base sheet. Further, if necessary, the concave portions of the concavo-convex pattern can be filled with a coloring ink by a known wiping method.

Preferably, a gloss adjusting protective coat layer is further formed thereon. As the binder, a chlorinated polyolefin, a two-component curable urethane resin or the like is preferable, and an ionizing radiation-curable resin can also be used. The ionizing radiation-curable resin is, specifically, a prepolymer, a polymer and / or a monomer having a polymerizable unsaturated bond or a cationically polymerizable functional group in a molecule, and a composition curable by ionizing radiation appropriately mixed. Preferably used. Here, the ionizing radiation means an electromagnetic wave or a charged particle beam having an energy quantum capable of polymerizing or cross-linking a molecule, and usually an ultraviolet ray (UV) or an electron beam (EB) is used.

The ionizing radiation-curable resin forming the hard coating film includes, specifically, a radically polymerizable unsaturated group such as a (meth) acryloyl group and a (meth) acryloyloxy group in a molecule, and a cation such as an epoxy group. It consists of a monomer, prepolymer or polymer having two or more polymerizable functional groups or thiols. These monomers, prepolymers or polymers may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Here, for example, the (meth) acryloyl group means an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group.

Examples of the prepolymer having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group include polyester (meth) acrylate, urethane (meth) acrylate, epoxy (meth) acrylate, melamine (meth) acrylate, and triazine (meth) acrylate. Can be used. A molecular weight of about 250 to 10,000 is usually used. As the polymer having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, a polymer having a polymerization degree of about 10,000 or more is used.

Examples of the monomer having a thiol group include trimethylolpropane trithioglycolate and dipentaerythritol tetrathioglycolate.

When curing with ultraviolet light or visible light, a photopolymerization initiator is added to the ionizing radiation-curable resin. In the case of a resin having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, acetophenones, benzophenones, thioxanthones, benzoin, benzoin methyl ether and the like can be used alone or in combination as a photopolymerization initiator. In the case of a resin having a cationically polymerizable functional group, an aromatic diazonium salt, an aromatic sulfonium salt, an aromatic iodonium salt, a metatheron compound, a benzoinsulfonic acid ester, or the like may be used alone or as a mixture as a photopolymerization initiator. Can be used. The addition amount of these photopolymerization initiators is about 0.1 to 10% by weight based on 100% by weight of the ionizing radiation-curable resin.

For matting, a matting (light diffusion) agent is added. As the matting agent, fine particles having a particle diameter of about 1 to 30 μm, such as calcium carbonate, silica, alumina, barium sulfate, urethane resin beads, and polycarbonate resin beads, are effective. The thickness is preferably about 1 to 100 μm.

In the present invention, as the laminated sheet (decorative sheet) to be adhered to the surface of the substrate, any of stretched and unstretched sheets can be used. Therefore, an unstretched sheet is more preferable.

As shown in FIG. 2 (D), the decorative sheet used for the floorboard of the present invention is laminated on a substrate 20 as an adherend to form a floorboard 30, and at least one or more such floorboards 30 are provided. The floor is constructed at the desired place on the floor surface. In this case, when the decorative sheet 10 itself does not adhere to the substrate 20, the decorative sheet 10 is laminated via an appropriate easy-adhesion layer and the adhesive layer 4. When the decorative sheet 10 itself can be bonded to the substrate 20 (by heat fusion or the like), the adhesive layer may be omitted.

The substrate is a flat substrate made of various materials. Materials used for the substrate include wood veneer, wood plywood, particle board, wood fiber board such as medium density fiber board (MDF), wood board such as laminated wood, and resin such as polyolefin resin. If necessary, a sheet such as rubber or a foamed resin sheet may be laminated on the back surface of these substrates in order to provide soundproofing and vibration damping functions.

As a method of laminating a decorative sheet on these various substrates, for example, a method of laminating a plate-like substrate by pressing with a pressure roller with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween is disclosed in JP-B-56-45768. As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-58014, a decorative sheet is opposed to or placed on the surface of a molded article with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween, and the decorative sheet is subjected to pressure difference due to vacuum suction from the molded article side. As described in the so-called vacuum press laminating method for laminating a sheet on the surface of a molded article, Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-5895, Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 3-2666, etc. While the decorative sheet is supplied in the longitudinal direction via an adhesive layer between the decorative sheets, the decorative sheets are sequentially pressure-adhered and laminated on a plurality of side surfaces constituting the columnar body by a plurality of rollers having different directions. So-called wrapping method , Etc.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show examples of the structure of the floorboard of the present invention. The floor plate 30 in FIG. 3 is formed by laminating the decorative sheet 10 on the surface of a substrate 20 made of a rectangular (thin rectangular parallelepiped) wooden plate. The floor plate 30 is obtained by cutting the pit 31 by router processing. One of the side surfaces of the substrate 20 (the left side in FIG. 3) is formed with one ridge a running in the longitudinal direction, and the other side surface (the right side in FIG. 3) is formed with one ridge. b, and the ridge a and the ridge b can be fitted to each other. A required number of the floor boards 30 are arranged in the width direction (the left and right direction in FIG. 3), and are connected in the width direction by fitting adjacent ridges a and recesses b, and if necessary, also in the longitudinal direction. Similar ridges and valleys are formed, and the two ridges are connected in the longitudinal direction. Thus, a desired place on the floor can be covered with the floor plate 30. When the floorboard 30 is fitted to the floor base surface (concrete, wood board, etc.), joist, pulling, etc., adhesives, nails, metal fittings, etc. are used according to known means. When joining a plurality of floorboards 30, similar means are used as needed.

The floorboard shown in FIG. 4 is a floorboard 30 in the form of a so-called plastic tile (resin tile). A decorative sheet is formed on the surface of a resin substrate 20 (for example, made of polyolefin resin or the like) having various shapes such as a square or a rectangle. 10 are laminated. Usually, in order to obtain a sufficient hiding property, a hiding pigment such as titanium white or carbon black is added to the resin substrate 20. In order to obtain dimensional stability, a woven or nonwoven fabric of glass fibers is usually further laminated. A desired number of such resin tile-like floorboards 30 are arranged on the floor surface and spread to cover the floor surface. Adhesion of the floorboard to the floor surface of the floor is also performed by a known means such as an adhesive.

The structure of the floorboard of the present invention is not necessarily limited to those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In addition, for example, in FIG. 3. Various known structures, such as those in which decorative sheets are laminated in joint grooves (that is, the decorative sheet is laminated along the surface of the substrate including the joint grooves after router processing). Things are included.

[0070]

[Effect of the invention]

 The floorboard of the present invention is configured as described above, and the temperature-elongation dependency of the decorative sheet attached to the surface thereof is high, although the temperature range is as high as about 15 ° C. Since it has the same temperature-elongation dependence as a decorative sheet mainly composed of a vinyl chloride sheet, it has an elongation rate, tear resistance, and flexibility that can be formed by embossing and lapping. It has good heat resistance, has the effect of improving design by printing, and is less susceptible to creep deformation than floorboards with a general polyvinyl chloride film on the surface. When the floorboard is constructed by fitting and fitting, even if a static stress is applied to the decorative sheet portion of each member, defects such as the decorative sheet being turned up around the mating portion hardly occur.
