Abstract: A matte coating composition is provided which, while exhibiting low gloss, has high levels of transparency and various resistance properties. Also provided are a decorative material having superior design aesthetics that uses the above matte coating composition, and a method for producing the decorative material. A matte coating composition used for forming a surface protective layer that can utilize gloss difference to portray an uneven three-dimensional feel, wherein the matte coating composition contains a silica and a binder component, and is at least one of heat-curable and ionizing radiation-curable, the silica has an average particle size determined by a laser diffraction method of 3 to 10 ?m, and a primary particle size calculated from the specific surface area of 10 to 50 nm, and the amount of the silica, relative to the resin solid fraction of the matte coating composition, is from 20 to 30% by weight.

Abstract: An aqueous ink composition for a decorative sheet which can be printed without any disturbance of the printed portion caused by friction with the guide rollers or the like during printing, and also exhibits good permeability following immersion in an adhesive (impregnating solution) during post processing, and good adhesion to substrates following thermocompression bonding. Specifically, an aqueous ink composition for use on a base paper for a decorative sheet, the aqueous ink composition comprising a pigment and a water-soluble polyacrylamide resin (A).

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an adhesive agent composition, including: a main agent containing a polyether polyurethane polyol and a bisphenol A-type epoxy resin; and a curing agent, wherein the polyether polyurethane polyol is obtained by reacting a polyalkylene glycol including repeating units each having a carbon number of 3 or 4 and an alkane diol monomer with an organic diisocyanate at an equivalent ratio (NCO/OH) of 0.7 or more but less than 1, a weight average molecular weight thereof is in the range of 20,000 to 70,000, and an urethane bond equivalent thereof is in the range of 320 to 600 g/eq, and wherein a number average molecular weight of the bisphenol A-type epoxy resin is in the range of 400 to 5,000, and the bisphenol A-type epoxy resin is of a solid state or a semisolid state at normal temperature.

Abstract: The present invention provides a decorative paper which is excellent in solvent resistance, and chemical resistances such as alkali resistance, acid resistance and alcohol resistance without carrying out complicated steps such as an addition of a curing agent into a ink layer because the ink layer which is poor at solvent resistance and chemical resistance is crosslinked. The decorative sheet of the present invention comprises a base material, an ink layer, a curable primer layer containing a curing agent reactive with a resin in the ink layer, and an active energy ray-curable surface protective layer, which are provided in the order of the curable primer layer/ink layer/active energy ray-curable surface protective layer on the base material.
