Abstract

In a decorative material, a matting agent is added to, of a first gloss-adjusting layer and a second gloss-adjusting layer, one with lower gloss, where the matting agent has a particle diameter of less than 1.0 times the thickness of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss. The matting agent can be thereby exposed to the surface while floating in the gloss-adjusting layer. Accordingly, a sufficient matting effect can be obtained in front observation, and unevenness imparted to the surface can be reduced; thus, the effect of scattering obliquely entering light is weakened, and the matting effect can be reduced when observed obliquely. Therefore, a picture pattern expressed by the difference in gloss, i.e., a design, can be made invisible when observed obliquely.
