Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a decorative material suitable for use as a partition material, wall material, display material, or lighting equipment member. The present invention relates to a decorative material having a unique appearance in which a part is formed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Inorganic glass that has a polished surface and a smooth surface that exhibit a pattern has been known and is widely used in various partition materials, door materials, and the like.

There are two known methods for producing such inorganic glass: one is to obtain the glass by sandblasting after shielding the pattern, and the other is to manufacture the glass using a mold in which a patterned surface and a polished surface are formed in advance.

However, the former method requires large-scale equipment, tends to create a poor working environment, and has the disadvantage that it is difficult to form fine patterns.

Although the latter method does not have any problems with workability or the like, it does have the disadvantage that the manufacturing cost of the mold is high and a mold must be prepared for each pattern.

Consideration has also been made to provide similar decorative materials using synthetic resin materials, but this also requires the use of some type of mold and has the same drawbacks as glass.

The present invention was made in view of this situation, and its gist is that at least one side is glossy.
The decorative material is characterized in that a printed pattern portion 2 made of diffusely reflective ink is formed on the glossy surface 1a of the transparent substrate 1 on which the transparent substrate 1 is formed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings of embodiments.

1 is a translucent base material having a glossy surface 1a formed on at least one side, which is a film or sheet of synthetic resin such as methacrylic resin, polyester resin, polycarbonate resin, polyolefin resin or vinyl chloride resin; Inorganic glass can also be used.

The base material 1 is preferably colorless or colored and transparent, but may be semitransparent as long as it is translucent.

It is preferable that the glossy surface 1a formed on at least one side has such diffusivity that when the transparent base material 1 is viewed through, objects on the other side cannot be seen.

The polished surface 1a can be formed by known methods such as sandblasting, chemical etching, manufacturing using a mold or roll having a finely uneven surface, or applying a glossy paint. You can choose the method that is appropriate for the material you are using from among these methods.

This glossy surface 1a is formed on one or both sides of the translucent base material 1, but at this stage it is not intended to form a pattern, and it is sufficient to provide the glossy surface uniformly over the entire surface, or It is sufficient to select a material on which such a polished surface has already been formed.

2 is a printed pattern area formed on the glossy surface 1a using a diffusely reflective ink. Ink containing particles or air bubbles is used.

Alternatively, the particles may be attached before the printed ink dries.

Furthermore, an ink with high thixotropy may be used instead of the above ink.

Note that if colored and transparent inks are used as these inks, a richly colored pattern can be obtained.

Although general printing methods such as screen printing and offset printing can be applied to form the printed pattern portion 2, a method of screen printing using printing ink with high thixotropy is particularly simple and effective.

Of course, this printing may be reverse printing.

When using a translucent base material with glossy surfaces formed on both sides, the printed pattern portion may be provided only on one side, or may be provided on both sides.

In the decorative material obtained by the present invention, a printed pattern portion 2 is formed on the glossy surface 1a, the transparency of the pattern portion 2 is higher than that of other portions, and the pattern is clearly shown. is formed by a diffusely reflective ink layer,
This part also has diffused reflection properties or diffusive properties, and together these provide a luxurious decorative material that is soft and has a raised, etching-like appearance.

Note that if the printed pattern portion is formed using general printing ink, it will not be possible to obtain an etching-like appearance as in the present invention.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the advantage of being able to easily and inexpensively provide a beautiful decorative material in which a glossy surface and a unique printed pattern are combined.
