Abstract: A laminate comprising a substrate layer; a contact adhesive layer comprising a contact adhesive agent having at least one of chloroprene rubber or acrylic copolymers, as well as microspheres having an average particle size of 0.5 ?m or greater in the contact adhesive layer, wherein the contact adhesive layer contains from 5 parts by mass to 500 parts by mass of the microspheres per 100 parts by mass of the contact adhesive agent, and the contact adhesive layer has a plurality of protruding portions because of the the microspheres.

Abstract: A durable decorative sheet high in the ability to follow a curved surface with small appearance change by heat or elongation. A decorative sheet comprising a transparent resin film having two main surfaces, a transparent resin layer formed on the first main surface of the transparent resin film, a pattern printed layer arranged on the transparent resin layer, and a colored base film arranged on the second main surface of the transparent resin film. The transparent resin layer includes first beads, the pattern printed layer include second beads. The first beads are different from the second beads in content, color and/or particle size. The first beads and the second beads are embedded in the transparent resin layer and the pattern printed layer.

Abstract: A decorative sheet comprising a substrate layer and a scratch resistant layer comprising a clear resin layer and hard particles dispersed in the clear resin layer, wherein the average particle diameter of the hard particles is larger than a thickness of the clear resin layer, the amount of the hard particle is 30 parts by mass to 400 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the clear resin layer, and the area ratio of the hard particles which protrude at least 3 micrometers from the outer surface of the clear resin layer is 10% to 80% of the scratch resistant layer is provided.

Abstract: An adhesive sheet is disclosed including a flexible substrate (4), and an adhesive layer (20) formed on at least one of the main surfaces of the flexible substrate and containing elastic microspheres (3), in which the adhesive layer has a) an elastic microsphere layer which is in contact with the main surface of the flexible substrate, comprising elastic microspheres (3) and a tacky polymer (2) and has projections containing said elastic microspheres on a surface which is not in contact with said substrate, and b) a layer of tacky polymer (1) which covers the projections containing the elastic microspheres so that raised portions are formed on an adhesion surface (11). Bubbles of air can then escape during application and use because the adhesion surface has a contact area percentage in the range between 20 and 90%. A method of making the adhesive sheet is also disclosed.
