  • Patent number: 10507489
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a decorative construction plate, the method including subjecting a metal siding material including: a metallic substrate on which a recess-projection pattern having a height difference of 0.5 mm or more is formed and on which an ink receiving layer formed from a resin composition is provided; a core material; and a back-side material, to flame treatment by exposing the metal siding material to flame with an output of 250 kJ/h to 12000 kJ/h per 10-mm width of a flame port of a burner so that the surface temperature of the substrate does not exceed 300° C., followed by performing inkjet printing using an active ray curable ink.

  • Publication number: 20190168256
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a painted metal plate which is resistant to surface stain due to rain streaks. The painted metal plate manufacturing method comprises: a step of forming a coating film on a surface of a metal plate, the coating film having an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.3 to 3.0 ?m as calculated according to JIS B0601:2013, and a surface Si atomic concentration of less than 1.0 atm % as measured by X-ray electron spectroscopy using an AlK? beam as an X-ray source; and a step of subjecting the coating film to flame processing at 30 to 1000 kJ/m2.

  • Publication number: 20160318328
    Abstract: This printing material has: a substrate; an ink-accepting layer that is disposed on the substrate and is the cured product of a resin composition; and an ink layer that is disposed on the ink-accepting layer and is the cured product of an active-light-ray-curable cationic polymerizable ink. The ink-accepting layer is impermeable with respect to the active-light-ray-curable cationic polymerizable ink. Also, the active-light-ray-curable cationic polymerizable ink contains: a cationic polymerizable compound; 0.5-10.0 mass % of an epoxy-group-containing silane coupling agent; 10-50 mass % of a hydroxyl-group-containing oxetane compound; and a photoinitiator.
