DECORATIVE BOARD
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This invention relates to a decorative board,
particularly to a non-combustible decorative board.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Conventionally, there is a known decorative
board with fireproof performance and
non-combustibility (hereinafter referred to as a
"non-combustible decorative board"). Such a
non-combustible decorative board includes a core
layer, which is a prepreg formed by impregnating an
inorganic fiber nonwoven fabric with a slurry
including phenol resin or melamine resin as a binder
component (see Patent Documents 1-3).

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
[0003] However, a non-combustible decorative board in
which a prepreg containing phenol resin as a binder
component is used as a core layer has a limitation in
additive amount of the binder component, in order to
ensure non-combustibility. Accordingly, a finished
non-combustible decorative board is slightly
inferior in strength and interlayer adhesion. Also,
since the additive amount of the binder component is
limited, and thereby a blending ratio of an inorganic
filler is increased, smoothness of a surface of the
non-combustible decorative board may be
deteriorated.
[0004] On the other hand, a non-combustible
decorative board, in which a prepreg containing
melamine resin as a binder component is used as a
core layer can ensure non-combustibility even when
the additive amount of the binder component is
significantly increased, as compared with the case of
phenol resin. However, melamine resin itself is
hard and brittle, and thus the finished
non-combustible decorative board sometimes has an
inferior strength.
[0005] The present invention, which was made in view
of the above, has an object to obtain a decorative
board having non-combustibility while achieving
excellent interlayer adhesion, strength and surface
smoothness.
MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS
[0006] A decorative board in the present invention
includes a core layer constituted by a prepreg
including an inorganic fiber substrate impregnated
with a slurry and a decorative layer, and the slurry
contains (a) an organic resin component including a
phenol-formaldehyde resin and an
amino-formaldehyde resin, (b) one or more selected
from a group consisting of carbonate, silica, talc and
fly ash, and (c) a metal hydroxide.
[0007] The decorative board in the present invention
has a high non-combustibility, and also has high
interlayer adhesion and strength since the core
layer is constituted by the prepreg including the
inorganic fiber substrate impregnated with (a) the
organic resin component including the
phenol-formaldehyde resin and the
amino-formaldehyde resin, (b) one or more selected
from the group consisting of carbonate, silica, talc
and fly ash, and (c) the metal hydroxide.

[0008] The decorative board in the present invention
has an excellent surface smoothness since the
decorative board includes the above-described core
layer (particularly since the component (b) and the
component (c) are contained in the slurry).
[0009] The decorative board in the present invention
preferably contains a silane coupling agent in the
slurry. Concurrent use of the silane coupling agent
with the phenol-formaldehyde resin and the
amino-formaldehyde resin can further improve
physical properties, such as adhesion,
non-combustibility, strength, heat resistance, and
impregnation property.
[0010] As the silane coupling agent, for example, an
epoxy silane coupling agent, an amino silane
coupling agent, and an acryl silane coupling agent
are preferable in terms of adhesion. Especially
when an epoxy silane coupling agent is used, its
high reactivity with an amino-formaldehyde resin
and a phenol-formaldehyde resin leads to an
improved interlayer strength.
[0011] Also, when an amino silane coupling agent is
used, its high reactivity with an
amino-formaldehyde resin and a
phenol-formaldehyde resin leads to an improved

interlayer strength.
[0012] The epoxy silane coupling agent includes, for
example,
B-(3, 4 - epoxycyclohexyL)ethyltrimethoxysilane),
Y-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane,
Y-glycidyloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane,
glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, etc.
[0013] The amino silane coupling agent includes, for
example, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-
aminopropyltriethoxysilane,
N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane,
N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxy
silane, N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)ethylenediamine,
3-ureidepropyltriethoxysilane,
isopropyltri(N-amidoethyl-aminoethyl)titanate,
etc.
[0014] The acryl silane coupling agent includes, for
example, a silane coupling agent having a
methacrylo group in a framework, such as
Y- methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and
Y- methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, etc.
[0015] In the slurry, a blending amount of the silane
coupling agent is preferably 0.01-0.5 parts by
weight per part by weight of the solid content of the
component (a). Since the blending amount of the

silane coupling agent is 0.01 or more parts by weight,
strength and interlayer adhesion of the decorative
board are further improved. Also, since the
blending amount of the silane coupling agent is 0.5
or less parts by weight, impregnation
appropriateness of the slurry is further improved.
[0016] In the slurry, a blending amount in solid
equivalent of the amino-formaldehyde resin is
preferably 0.1-5 parts by weight per part by weight
of a solid content of the phenol-formaldehyde resin.
[0017] Since the blending amount of the
amino-formaldehyde resin is 0.1 or more parts by
weight, strength and interlayer adhesion of the
decorative board are further increased. Also, since
the blending amount is 5 or less parts by weight,
warpage of the decorative board can be reduced.
[0018] A total blending amount in solid equivalent of
the component (b) and the component (c) is
preferably 4-19 parts by weight per part by weight of
a solid content of the component (a).
[0019] Since the total blending amount in solid
equivalent of the component (b) and the component
(c) is 4 or more parts by weight, non-combustibility
is further improved. Also, the total blending
amount is 19 or less parts by weight, interlayer

adhesion is further increased.
[0020] A content ratio of the slurry in the prepreg is
preferably 500-3000% according to a calculation
method indicated by a formula 1.
[0021] [Formula l]

Since the content ratio of the slurry in the
prepreg is 500 % or more, interlayer adhesion is
further improved. Also, since the content of the
slurry is 3000 % or less, falling of a solid content is
unlikely to increase, and thus easier handling of the
decorative board can be achieved.
[0022] The inorganic fiber substrate includes, for
example, an unwoven fabric or a woven fabric, etc.
constituted by inorganic fiber, such as glass fiber,
rock wool, carbon fiber, and ceramic fiber.
Particularly preferable is a glass fiber unwoven
fabric, which is excellent in heat resistance, flame
resistance, and easiness of slurry impregnation. It
is preferable that the inorganic fiber substrate
weighs in a range of 10-200 g/m2.
[0023] The phenol-formaldehyde resin is obtained, for
example, by reacting one of phenols with one of
formaldehydes at a ratio of 1 mol of a phenol
hydroxyl group to 1-3 mols of an aldehyde under the
influence of a basic catalyst or an acid catalyst.
The phenols include, for example, phenol, cresol,
xylenol, octylphenol, phenylphenol, bisphenol A,
bisphenol S, bisphenol F, etc. The aldehydes
include, for example, formaldehyde,
paraformaldehyde, glyoxal, trioxal, etc.
[0024] Also, as needed, a phenol-formaldehyde resin
which is modified with a modifier for accelerating
plasticization, such as urea, urea derivative,
paratoluenesulfonamide, wood oil, phosphate esters,
and glycols, may be applicable.
[0025] The basic catalyst to be used for synthesizing of
the phenol-formaldehyde resin includes, for example,
oxides or hydroxides of alkali metals (such as
sodium and potassium) or alkaline-earth metals
(magnesium, calcium, and the like), amines, such as
triethylamine and triethanolamine, ammonia, etc.
The acid catalyst includes, for example,
para-toluenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.
[0026] As the amino-formaldehyde resin, for example,
an initial condensate obtained by reacting an amino
compound (such as melamine, urea, benzoguanamine,
and acetoguanamine) and formaldehyde, a substance
obtained by etherifying the initial condensate with a
lower alcohol, such as methyl alcohol and butyl
alcohol, and a substance obtained by modifying the
initial condensate with a reactive modifier for
accelerating plasticization, such as
para-toluenesulfonamide, may be applicable.
Among these, melamine-formaldehyde resin which is
excellent in durability is preferable.
[0027] The metal hydroxide includes, for example,
aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide.
[0028] The carbonate includes, for example, calcium
carbonate, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate,
strontium carbonate, beryllium carbonate, zinc
carbonate, etc.
[0029] An average particle diameter of the component
(b) is preferably in a range of 0.5-200 µm. When
the average particle diameter is in this range,
impregnation appropriateness of the slurry into the
inorganic substrate can be further improved.
[0030] It is preferable to use, as the component (b), a
carbonate, particularly calcium carbonate, which is
advantageous in terms of workability and cutting
performance, and use, as the component (c),
aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide which
is advantageous in terms of non-combustibility since
crystal water is contained, and, at a high
temperature, decomposition occurs, endotherm is
performed, and bonding water is released. In this
case, a blending ratio of the carbonate and the metal
hydroxide (aluminum hydroxide, magnesium
hydroxide) is preferably 1 part by weight of the
carbonate to 2-15 parts by weight of the metal
hydroxide so that a smooth and good surface
appearance can be obtained. Since a blending
amount of the metal hydroxide is 2 or more parts by
weight, an excellent non-combustibility can be
achieved. Since the blending amount of the metal
hydroxide is 15 or less parts by weight, the metal
hydroxide in the slurry is unlikely to precipitate,
and thus an impregnation amount of the slurry can
be easily controlled. Also, since the blending
amount of the metal hydroxide is 15 or less parts by
weight, wear of a cutting tool to be used for cutting
the decorative board can be reduced.
[0031] Although there is no limitation to the calcium
carbonate and, for example, heavy calcium
carbonate, light calcium carbonate (precipitated
calcium carbonate) or the like may be used, heavy
calcium carbonate is preferable. An average
particle diameter of the calcium carbonate is
preferably in a range of 0.05-10 µm, and more
preferably in a range of 1-5 µm. In a case of 0.05(1)
µm or more, secondary aggregation is unlikely to
occur and agglomerates are unlikely to be formed,
and thus an excellent impregnation property of the
slurry can be achieved. In a case of 10(5) µm or
less, the decorative board has a further smooth
surface and thus has a good appearance. The light
calcium carbonate means calcium carbonate
chemically produced by baking limestone, while the
heavy calcium carbonate means fine-powdered
calcium carbonate produced by dry or wet
pulverization of white crystalline limestone.
[0032] In the decorative board of the present invention,
the decorative layer may be provided either on one
side of the core layer or on both sides thereof.
Forming methods of the decorative layer include, for
example, a forming method by painting, a method
using resin impregnated decorative paper, a method
of transferring a decorative layer using a transfer
foil, etc. Among these, the method using resin
impregnated decorative paper is particularly
preferable in terms of productivity, adhesion with
the core layer, and wear resistance.
[0033] The forming method by painting includes, for
example, a method by painting on the core layer a
resin liquid, in which a curing agent (such as methyl
ethyl ketone peroxide), a curing accelerator (such as
cobalt naphthenate) are blended to unsaturated
polyester resin colored with a pigment, and
subsequently covering a painted surface with a
vinylon film or a PET film, spreading with a roller,
and peeling the vinylon film after the resin is cured.
[0034] The unsaturated polyester resin is obtained by
performing a dehydration-condensation reaction,
according to a usual method, of an unsaturated
dibasic acid and/or an acid anhydride thereof,
another saturated acid and/or an acid anhydride
thereof to be used as needed, and a polyalcohol,
under an inert gas atmosphere, such as nitrogen and
argon, at a temperature of about 160-230°C and
preferably 210-230°C, and then adding a
polymerizable monomer, such as styrene monomer.
[0035] The method using resin impregnated decorative
paper is a method in which a base paper for
decorative board is impregnated with a resin liquid
containing a thermosetting resin as a main
component and is dried to obtain a resin
impregnated decorative paper, and then the resin
impregnated decorative paper is stacked and
thermocompression forming is performed. The
resin impregnated decorative paper may be obtained
by impregnating a resin liquid containing a
thermosetting resin, such as amino-formaldehyde
resin, diallyl phthalate resin, and unsaturated
polyester resin into a decorative paper for
decorative board weighing 30-140 g/m2 such that an
impregnation rate as indicated by the formula 2 is
80-300%. Thermocompression forming may be
performed using a press machine, such as a flat
press machine and a continuous press machine.

(Evaluation of Decorative Boards)
The decorative boards produced in the
respective embodiments and comparative examples
were evaluated according to a method described
below.
(i) Evaluation of Non-combustibility
Heat release tests using a cone calorimeter
according to ISO5660 were performed, and
evaluation was made according to the following
criteria.
[0067] During a test for 20 minutes, a total heat
release is equal to or less than 8MJ/m2, a maximum
heat release rate remains not exceeding 200 kW/m2
for consecutive 10 seconds or more, and a test object
after the test has no breakage or crack passing
through to a reverse surface thereof.
During a test for 10 minutes, a total heat
release is equal to or less than 8MJ/m2, a maximum
heat release rate remains not exceeding 200 kW/m2
for consecutive 10 seconds or more, and a test object
after the test has no breakage or crack passing
through to a reverse surface thereof.
Any one of requirements indicated in or
is not satisfied.

(ii) Evaluation of Heat-resistant Adhesion
A heating body held at a temperature of 200°C
was made to contact with a surface of each
decorative board for 10 minutes, and evaluation was
made according to the following criteria.
[0068] No interlayer delamination, swelling or
crack occurs after 10 minutes.
Interlayer delamination, swelling or crack
occurs in 5 minutes or more and less than 10
minutes.
Interlayer delamination, swelling or crack
occurs in 30 seconds or more and less than 5 minutes.
X : Remarkable delamination, swelling or crack
occurs in 30 seconds or less.
(iii) Evaluation of Strength
A steel ball of 28 g was dropped on the surface
of each non-combustible decorative board while
gradually increasing a dropping height, and
evaluation was made according to the following
criteria.
[0069] The dropping height is 800 mm or more when
a crack occurs.
The dropping height is 700 mm or more and
less than 800 mm when a crack occurs.
The dropping height is 600 mm or more and

less than 700 mm when a crack occurs.
The dropping height is less than 600 mm
when a crack occurs.
(iv) Evaluation of impregnation property
Evaluation was made on impregnation property
of the slurry used in each of the embodiments and
comparative examples according to the following
criteria.
[0070] It was possible to impregnate a glass fiber
substrate with the slurry corresponding to a desired
resin rate in a continuous and stable manner for a
long time period.
Although desired impregnation was
possible, periodic adjustment of slurry viscosity or
the like was required in a case of performing
continuous impregnation.
Although desired impregnation was
possible, continuous impregnation was impossible
due to large effects of time-dependent changing
factors, such as thickening.
An impregnation amount could not be
controlled due to aggregation,
(v) Evaluation of surface smoothness
Evaluation was made on a degree of "orange
peel" of the surface of the decorative board.
Measurement of the surface of the decorative board
was performed three times using a BYK Gardener
wave-scan DOI (an orange peel/distinctness of image
measuring instrument). Evaluation was made on
average values of Longwave values and Wc values,
respectively, according to criteria shown in Table 2
below. It is indicated that the lower the Longwave
value or the Wc value is, the greater the smoothness
is.

Evaluation results are shown in Table 3.
As shown in Table 3, the decorative board in
each of the embodiments was excellent in any of
non-combustibility, heat resistant adhesion,
strength, impregnation appropriateness, and surface
smoothness.
[0073] Also, in the decorative board in each of the
embodiments, chipping during a cutting process,
delamination of a decorative layer, edge defect, dent
or crack during construction work will not occur,
and interlayer puncture due to radiant heat will not
occur when the decorative board is used for a
cooking stove.
