Abstract
The use of a pearl pigment as a decorative material for the interior of automobile parts is known to weaken the weather resistance of these parts. Improved weather resistance is achieved by providing a decorative sheet, wherein a pearl ink layercomprising a pearl pigment is provided on a base material sheet, and the pearl ink layer comprises: at least a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer as a binder resin; and the pearl pigment obtained by coating mica with a titanium dioxide, and further, coating the surface thereof with a metal oxide and/or a metal oxide hydrate of metals other than a titanium such as a zirconium, a silicon and the like. The titanium dioxide is preferably of a rutile type. Moreover, the base material sheet is preferably a resin sheet of an acrylic resin. A decorative materialcan be obtained by laminating the above mentioned decorative sheet on a surface of a base material, which is a resin molded body.
