Description

  The present invention relates to a decorative sheet and a decorative resin molded product.

  Decorated resin molded products decorated by laminating decorative sheets on the surface of molded products are used in various applications such as vehicle interior parts. As a molding method of such a decorative resin molded product, the decorative sheet is formed into a three-dimensional shape in advance by a vacuum mold, the molded sheet is inserted into an injection mold, and the resin in a fluid state is placed in the mold. An injection molding method in which the resin and the molded sheet are integrated by injection, or a decorative sheet inserted into the mold at the time of injection molding is integrated with the molten resin injected and injected into the cavity. The injection molding simultaneous decorating method etc. which decorate the surface are mentioned.

  In recent years, physical properties required for a decorative sheet constituting the surface of the decorative resin molded product have been increased from the background that physical properties such as scratch resistance and chemical resistance are increasing. In order to meet such demands, it has been proposed to provide a surface protective layer on the decorative sheet, but since the decorative sheet constitutes the surface of the decorative resin molded product, a certain level of tertiary It is required to improve physical properties such as scratch resistance and chemical resistance while satisfying original moldability (following ability to three-dimensional molding) and shape stability (stability after three-dimensional molding). When the decorative sheet has low three-dimensional properties, the insert molding method is a process of forming the decorative sheet into a three-dimensional (three-dimensional) shape in advance using a vacuum forming mold, and the simultaneous injection decoration method is used when the decorative sheet is pre-formed. Alternatively, when the molten resin is injected, the decorative sheet is stretched along the inner peripheral surface of the cavity and is in close contact, and the decorative sheet is formed into a mold shape by vacuum / pneumatic action, or by pulling due to the pressure of the molten resin or shear stress. Since it extends beyond the minimum necessary amount to conform, there may be a problem that a crack occurs in the surface protective layer of the curved surface portion of the molded product. In addition, if the shape stability is low even if the three-dimensional formability is high, the decorative sheet will be distorted after the three-dimensional forming. It becomes easy.

For the above-mentioned problems, by using an ionizing radiation curable resin such as an ultraviolet curable resin as a surface protective layer and increasing the crosslink density of the resin forming the surface protective layer of the decorative sheet, Although attempts have been made to improve the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the surface, there is still a problem that cracks occur in the curved surface of the molded product during molding.
Further, although an ionizing radiation curable resin such as an ultraviolet curable resin is used as a surface protective layer, a method of making it a semi-cured state at the stage of a decorative sheet and completely curing it after decorative molding has been tried (Patent Document 1). The surface protective layer containing the uncured resin component is easily damaged and difficult to handle, and there is a problem of mold contamination due to the uncured resin component adhering to the mold. In order to solve this problem, there is a method of providing a protective film on the semi-cured surface protective layer. However, the manufacturing is complicated and the cost is increased.

  In addition, many examples using an acrylic film as a surface protective layer have been reported (see Patent Documents 2 to 4), but recently, physical properties such as scratch resistance and chemical resistance required for decorative sheets, or designs It is not enough to respond to sex.
