| 20160002835 | HARD SHEET AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Provided is a hard sheet including a non-woven fabric of ultrafine fibers and elastic polymer added into the non-woven fabric. JIS-D hardness of the sheet is 45 degrees or more. R % thereof calculated by R (%)=(D hardness maximum−D hardness minimum)/D hardness average×100 is 0 to 20%, when a sectional surface of the sheet extending in the thickness direction thereof is evenly divided into three parts corresponding to a first outer layer, an intermediate layer, and a second outer layer in order from any one surface side of the sheet; JIS-D hardness measurements are made at six points being three arbitrary points each on the first outer layer and on the intermediate layer; and then the JIS-D hardnesses obtained are used for the calculation. In the sheet, the total content of ions capable of changing the pH of water is 400 μg/cm | 01-07-2016 |
