Abstract
Abstract There is provided a decorative material that gives the impression of unevenness due to the differences in gloss of a film formed on the surface of the decorative material. This decorative material is excellent in solvent resistance; a pattern formed on it is not easily erased even when the decorative material is wiped with cloth or the like impregnated with a solvent. Such a decorative material can be produced in the following manner: a coloring layer 3 and a pattern layer 4 are formed on the surface of a substrate 2 in the order mentioned; and, before forming a surface-protective layer 7 by the use of an ionizing radiation hardening resin composition, a coating layer 5 capable of preventing the penetration of the ionizing radiation hardening resin composition into the underlying layers is formed on the pattern layer 4 by using a hardening resin, and a highly permeable pattern layer 6 having permeability for the ionizing radiation hardening resin composition higher than that of the underlying coating layer 5 is provided on top of the coating layer 5 by the use of a hardening resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A decorative material comprising: an absorptive or permeable substrate; a surface-protective layer provided so as to cover a surface of said substrate, said surface-protective layer being made from an ionizing radiation hardening resin composition that is hardened by crosslinking; an even and uniform penetration-preventing coating layer provided between said substrate and said surface-protective layer and entirely covering a surface of said substrate, said penetration-preventing coating layer having a low permeability for said ionizing radiation hardening resin composition; and a highly permeable pattern layer provided on said penetration-preventing coating layer and partly and uncontinuously covering a surface of said penetration-preventing coating layer, said highly permeable pattern layer being made from a resin including a filler, and having a permeability for said ionizing radiation hardening resin composition higher than that of said penetration-preventing coating layer, wherein said surface-protective layer has a recess or dulustering at right above said highly permeable pattern layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A decorative material comprising: an absorptive or permeable substrate; a surface-protective layer provided so as to cover a surface of said substrate, said surface-protective layer being made from an ionizing radiation hardening resin composition that is hardened by crosslinking; an even and uniform penetration-preventing coating layer provided between said substrate and said surface-protective layer and entirely covering a surface of said substrate, said penetration-preventing coating layer having a low permeability for said ionizing radiation hardening resin composition; and a highly permeable pattern layer provided on said penetration-preventing coating layer and partly and uncontinuously covering a surface of said penetration-preventing coating layer, said highly permeable pattern layer being made from a resin including a filler, and having a permeability for said ionizing radiation hardening resin composition higher than that of said penetration-preventing coating layer, wherein said surface-protective layer has a recess or dulustering at right above said highly permeable pattern layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The decorative material according to claim 1 , wherein said penetration-preventing coating layer and said highly permeable pattern layer are made from a hardening resin that is hardened by crosslinking.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
The decorative material according to claim 1 , wherein said penetration-preventing coating layer is made from a polyurethane resin produced by crosslinking an unsaturated polyester urethane polyol with an isocyanate for hardening, and said surface-protective layer is made from a material selected from the group consisting of a prepolymer, an oligomer and a monomer of (meth)acrylate that is hardened by crosslinking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The decorative material according to any of claim 1 , wherein said penetration-preventing coating layer is mat.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The decorative material according to any of claim 1 , wherein said substrate has another pattern layer laminated to its surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The decorative material according to any of claim 1 , wherein said substrate has an even and uniform coloring layer and another pattern layer that are laminated to the surface of said substrate in the order mentioned.
