Description

  The present invention relates to a foam wallpaper having antifungal properties.

  Foamed wallpaper is used for the wall interior of buildings.

  A foamed wallpaper is obtained by laminating a foamed resin layer on a paper-based substrate. The foamed resin layer is obtained by melting and kneading a resin composition containing a foaming agent, etc., and forming the foaming agent-containing resin layer using the kneaded product, and then thermally decomposing the foaming agent in the foaming agent-containing resin layer. Thus, the foaming agent-containing resin layer can be formed by foaming.

  When the foaming agent is thermally decomposed, if the heating temperature is excessively high, the paper-based substrate may be burned or the contained resin may be melted. Therefore, foaming at a relatively low heating temperature is required.

  Therefore, in recent years, foaming aids are used for the purpose of lowering the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent. As a foaming aid, a zinc compound is generally used.

  By the way, foamed wallpaper is required to have antifungal properties in order to prevent discoloration and alteration.

  As foaming wallpaper having antifungal properties, Patent Document 1 includes 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2- (4-thiazolyl) -benzimidazole or methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate. A foamed wallpaper using an antifungal composition for wallpaper containing a foaming agent characterized by the above has been reported.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an antibacterial and antifungal agent composed of a benzimidazole compound, a phosphorus-based antioxidant, and an antifungal resin composition containing a resin.

  However, when only a benzimidazole compound is used as an antifungal agent, sufficient antifungal properties cannot be imparted to the foamed wallpaper. In addition, the benzimidazole compound changes to yellow or tan due to heat when kneading the resin composition or foaming the foaming agent-containing resin layer, and the color appears on the foam wallpaper (design properties of the foam wallpaper). Is reduced). In addition, when a fungicide other than benzimidazole is used, a pinkish foam wallpaper may be obtained. This is considered to be caused by a reaction between the zinc compound (foaming aid) contained in the foaming agent-containing resin layer and the antifungal agent. In addition, there is a problem that the zinc compound is deactivated by the reaction and does not sufficiently function as a foaming aid.

  Then, development of the foam wallpaper which has mold prevention property and was excellent in the designability and foamability is earnestly desired.

  Although the thickness of the said foaming agent containing resin layer is not limited, Usually, it is preferable to set it as about 70-150 micrometers.

<Resin component>
The resin component which comprises a foaming agent containing resin layer is not specifically limited, What is necessary is just to set suitably according to the foaming agent to be used, the kind of paper-type base material, etc. In particular, the foaming agent-containing resin layer is preferably a resin obtained from a combination of monomers that does not contain hydrogen bonds in the resin layer. Therefore, for example, an ethylene copolymer resin obtained from a combination of ethylene and a monomer having no OH group or COOH group can be suitably used. From this viewpoint, as the ethylene copolymer resin, for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin (hereinafter abbreviated as “EVA”), ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer resin (hereinafter abbreviated as “EMMA”), An ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer resin (hereinafter abbreviated as “EEA”), an ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer resin (hereinafter abbreviated as “EMA”), and the like can be used. Among these, EVA is particularly preferable.

<Foaming agent>
It does not specifically limit as a foaming agent, For example, well-known foaming agents, such as an inorganic type foaming agent and an organic type foaming agent, can be used.

  Examples of the inorganic foaming agent include sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium nitrite and the like.

  Examples of the organic foaming agent include nitroso compounds, azo compounds, sulfonyl hydrazide compounds, azide compounds and the like.

  The content of the foaming agent may be appropriately set according to the type of foaming agent, the expansion ratio, etc., but is preferably 3 to 6 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the resin in the foaming agent-containing resin layer.

<Foaming aid>
The foaming agent-containing resin layer contains a zinc compound as a foaming aid. By containing a zinc compound, the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent can be suitably reduced.

Examples of the zinc compound include zinc oxide, fatty acid zinc salt (metal soap), and zinc chloride. Examples of the fatty acid zinc salt include zinc stearate.
These zinc compounds can be used singly or in combination of two or more. In particular, the zinc compound is preferably a fatty acid zinc salt, more preferably zinc stearate.

<Anti-mold agent>
The foaming agent-containing resin layer further contains zinc pyrithione. By containing zinc pyrithione, a foamed wallpaper having excellent antifungal properties can be obtained. That is, the zinc pyrithione acts as a fungicide.
By using the zinc pyrithione as an antifungal agent, it is possible to suitably avoid the problem that the antifungal agent is changed to yellow or yellowish brown by heat like a benzimidazole compound. In addition, by containing the zinc pyrithione in the foaming agent-containing resin layer, the action of the foaming aid (the action of lowering the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent) can be promoted. Further, since zinc pyrithione basically does not react with the zinc compound, the problem that a pink foam wallpaper can be obtained and the problem that the zinc compound is deactivated can be preferably avoided.

  Content of the said zinc pyrithione in the said foaming agent containing resin layer is 0.05-10 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of resin components in a foaming agent containing resin layer, Preferably it is 0.1-4 weight part. In particular, when the content of zinc pyrithione is 0.1 to 4 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the resin component in the foaming agent-containing resin layer, the anti-foaming performance is foamed without inhibiting the effect of the foaming aid. Can be reliably added to the wallpaper.

  The foaming agent-containing resin layer may further contain a benzimidazole compound within a range in which yellowing or tanning of the foamed wallpaper can be prevented or suppressed. Since the benzimidazole compound is highly safe, workability is improved by using the benzimidazole compound in combination as an antifungal agent.

As the benzimidazole compound, a compound generally used as an antifungal agent can be used. For example, 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2- (4-thiazolyl) -benzimidazole, methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate, methyl 1- (butylcarbamoyl) -2-benzimidazole carbamate, Examples include methyl 5-butyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate.

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 carried out using a chemical crosslinking agent (also referred to as a crosslinking agent or a crosslinking aid).
