  • Patent number: 10815382
    Abstract: A stain disappearing laminate of the present invention comprises a sebum absorption and diffusion layer 3 and a sebum attachment inhibition layer 2 laminated on a base material in this order. The sebum attachment inhibition layer 2 repels sebum 5 and reduces attachment of the sebum, as well as allows attached sebum to pass through to the sebum attachment inhibition layer side, and the sebum absorption and diffusion layer 3 absorbs the sebum 5 passed through the sebum attachment inhibition layer 2 and diffuses the sebum within the sebum absorption and diffusion layer itself.

  • Publication number: 20190249016
    Abstract: The antifouling structure of the present invention includes an oxide layer, a surface modification layer that modifies the surface of the oxide layer, and an antifouling liquid retained in the surface modification layer. And in the antifouling structure, the surface modification layer is a modification layer derived from a silane coupling agent; the antifouling liquid includes a first antifouling liquid satisfying Equation (1) below and a second antifouling liquid satisfying Equation (2) below; and the volume ratio (first antifouling liquid/second antifouling liquid) of the first antifouling liquid to the second antifouling liquid is from 1/2 to 100/1: Y?3X+2000??Equation (1) Y>3X+2000??Equation (2) in which, in Equations (1) and (2), Y represents the average molecular weight of the antifouling liquid, and X represents a kinematic viscosity (cSt) at 20° C. of the antifouling liquid.

  • Patent number: 7133206
    Abstract: A reflecting surface material for a vehicle interior, including multiple units of reflecting material each having a surface defined by a concave cross-sectional profile with at least one light reflecting face formed in one sector of the profile and at least one light absorbing face formed in another sector of the profile. A plurality of units of reflecting material are positioned such that the light reflecting faces are disposed in one direction toward the exterior of the vehicle and the light absorbing faces are disposed in another direction toward the driver of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6988765
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure has a heat radiation insulating arrangement that improves the thermal environment inside a vehicle cabin when the vehicle is positioned at a sunny location during hot weather by increasing the insulation effects of the automobile body along with blocking radiant heat. The heat radiation insulating arrangement of vehicle body structure forms a first space by arranging a light shielding shade on the inside of a windowpane, a second space formed between the exterior roof panel and ceiling material, and an air passageway that links the first space and the second space to allow the air to flow from the first space to the second space. A reflective material is provided on the surface of the second space of the ceiling material.
