Abstract

[Problems] Provided is a discoloring body which is discolored by application of water and has high glossiness and is excellent in applicability to various fields such as a toy field, a decoration field, and a design field. [Solution] A discoloring body including a supporting body, a porous layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state by way of a binder resin, and a glossy resin layer, in which an occupancy area ratio of the glossy resin layer is 1% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

Claims (22)

1. A discoloring body capable of reversibly changing color on contact with water comprising:

a supporting body;

a porous layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state by way of a binder resin;

a glossy resin layer formed on the porous layer, wherein the glossy resin layer is a brilliant resin layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 20 μm; and

an adhesive resin layer between the porous layer and the brilliant resin layer, and

wherein an occupancy area ratio of the glossy resin layer is 1% to 95% with respect to a 1 mm square at any position in the porous layer.

2. The discoloring body according to claim 1 , wherein an occupancy area ratio of the brilliant resin layer is 5% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

3. The discoloring body according to claim 1 , wherein the brilliant resin layer is a layer having optical properties selected from the group consisting of metallic glossiness, iridescence, holographic properties, and pearl glossiness.

4. A discoloring body capable of reversibly changing color on contact with water comprising:

a supporting body;

a porous layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state by way of a binder resin;

a glossy resin layer formed on the porous layer, wherein the glossy resin layer is a translucent resin layer having a thickness of 0.5 to 20 μm; and

an adhesive resin layer between the porous layer and the translucent resin layer, and

wherein an occupancy area ratio of the glossy resin layer is 1% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

5. The discoloring body according to claim 4 , wherein an occupancy area ratio of the translucent resin layer is 10% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

6. The discoloring body according to claim 4 , further comprising a protective layer on the translucent resin layer.

7. The discoloring body according to claim 1 , further comprising a colored layer between the supporting body and the porous layer.

8. The discoloring body according to claim 7 , wherein a coloring agent contained in the colored layer is selected from the group consisting of a fluorescent coloring agent, a thermochromic coloring agent, and a photochromic coloring agent.

9. The discoloring body according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting body is a fabric.

10. The discoloring body according to claim 4 , further comprising a colored layer between the supporting body and the porous layer.

11. The discoloring body according to claim 10 , wherein a coloring agent contained in the colored layer is selected from the group consisting of a fluorescent coloring agent, a thermochromic coloring agent, and a photochromic coloring agent.

12. The discoloring body according to claim 4 , wherein the supporting body is a fabric.
