  • Patent number: 8530033
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an external wall panel which is excellent in ornamental design and weather resistance and a coating method for the external wall panel. An external wall panel of the invention comprises a base panel having a three-dimensional ornamental design surface, a lower coating layer formed on the surface of the base panel, a mid-coating layer formed on the lower coating layer, a first clear layer containing beads formed on the mid-coating layer, and a second clear layer made of a transparent layer or semi-transparent layer formed on the first clear layer wherein the second clear layer has a thick film layer portion in the vicinity of a corner edge of a convex portion of the three-dimensional ornamental design surface.

  • Patent number: 8420204
    Abstract: Provided is a building board having non-flammability and being excellent in designability. In the building board, an impregnated coating film, an aqueous coating film, a solvent-based clear coating film and a top clear coating film are formed, in this order, on a surface of a base member. The aqueous coating film is formed of a synthetic resin and a fireproofing agent; the top clear coating film is formed of a UV-curable type resin and a fireproofing agent; the amount of fireproofing agent in the aqueous coating film is 10 to 50 wt % with respect to the solids of the aqueous coating film; the amount of the fireproofing agent in the top clear coating film is 5 to 20 wt % with respect to the solids of top clear coating film; and the total calorific value measured in accordance with ISO 5660, for 20 minutes using a cone calorimeter, is smaller than 8 MJ/m2.

  • Publication number: 20080311346
    Abstract: The present invention provides an external wall panel which is excellent in ornamental design and weather resistance and a coating method for the external wall panel. The coating method is capable of providing a stable coating in the vicinity (including a slope area) of a corner edge area of a convex portion even if the area has cracks, hairline cracks, blowholes and/or pinholes. The resulting coating can solve the problem caused by cracks and the like. The external wall panel has a joint portion which has an excellent weather resistance and a matte appearance and looks glossy in the vicinity (including a slope area) of a corner edge area of the convex portion where cracks, hairline cracks, blowholes and/or pinholes tend to occur.
