  • Patent number: 9254595
    Abstract: Provided are a decorative sheet having stretchability and heat resistance and an in-mold forming method capable of forming in-mold injection formed products having excellent decorative image. A decorative sheet includes an image layer and an image running prevention region in order on a resin sheet, in which the image layer is a cured image of an ink composition containing (a) a polymerizable compound, (b) a polymerization initiator, and (c) a coloring agent; the image running prevention region is a cured layer of a composition for running prevention containing (a) a polymerizable compound, and (b) a polymerization initiator; and the image running prevention region has superior heat resistance to the image layer, and an injection forming method using the decorative sheet.

  • Patent number: 8991994
    Abstract: An ink pack is a laminate pack which at least one layer of an aluminum layer or an aluminum alloy layer and at least one layer of a plastic layer are laminated. An ultraviolet curable type inkjet ink composition which contains a compound having a nitroxyl radical, and has 1.2×1016 to 3.0×1019 of the spin number of the nitroxyl radical in one milliliter of the ink composition, is sealed in the ink pack.

  • Patent number: 8974894
    Abstract: A decorative sheet includes a resin substrate, and an image layer that includes a fixed-ink image formed of an ink composition containing (a) a pigment, (b) polymer particles, (c) a water-soluble organic solvent, and (d) water, on the resin substrate. When a tensile test is performed on the decorative sheet in an atmosphere at 180° C., a stretching rate thereof that is defined as below is 150% or higher. Stretching rate (%)=[(length at the time of breakage?length before stretching)/(length before stretching)]×100.
