• a urethane-based adhesive was applied to the back surface of the decorative sheet, and a PP resin backer layer was attached.
• a wood base composed of plyboard wood base was then bonded to the back side of the backer layer using a urethane-modified ethylene-vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive to produce a wood floor material.
• a wood floor material was produced in the same manner as in Example 9, except that the light-curable coating material obtained in Comparative Example 2 was used instead of the light-curable coating material obtained in Example 6 which was used in Example 9.
• An allergen reducing agent-containing coating material was produced in the same manner as in Example 13, and a wood floor material was also produced in the same manner as in Example 13, except that the polyvinylphenolic resin Maruka Lyncur M was used instead of the terpene phenolic resin YS Polyster T130 used in Example 13.
• a wood floor material was produced in the same manner as in Example 9, except that the light-curable coating material obtained in Comparative Example 3 was used instead of the light-curable coating material obtained in Example 6 which was used in Example 9.
• An allergen reducing agent-containing coating material was produced in the same manner as in Example 13, and a wood floor material was also produced in the same manner as in Example 13, except that the terpene phenolic resin YS Polyster T130 used in Example 13 was not mixed.
• the wood floor materials obtained in Examples 9 to 13 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7 were measured for hue (coloring property), allergen reducing performance, heat resistance (resistance to discoloration under heat), lightfastness (resistance to discoloration under light), and chemical resistance. The results are presented in Table 3.
• the hue (coloring property), heat resistance (resistance to discoloration under heat), and lightfastness (resistance to discoloration under light) were measured and evaluated by using the same methods and according to the same criteria used for the processed sheets, and explanations thereof are omitted.
• An allergen solution was produced by dissolving an allergen freeze dried powder (purified mite antigen; Der2; Asahi Breweries Ltd.) in a phosphate buffer (pH7.6) so as to provide an allergen protein amount of 20 ng/ml.
• An alkali detergent (product name: Domestos; Unilever) was dropped onto each wood floor material obtained in Examples 9 to 13 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7, and the presence or absence of any abnormality in appearance was checked after retention for 24 hours. Evaluations were made according to the following criteria.
