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 10, wherein a pearl ink layer 2 comprising a pearl pigment is
provided on a base material sheet 1, 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 material 20 can be obtained by laminating the
above mentioned decorative sheet on a surface of a base material 5, which
is a resin molded body.
