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 1.0 times or more the thickness of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss. Accordingly, sufficient unevenness can be imparted to the surface of the gloss-adjusting layer; thus, glossiness does not increase in oblique observation, and low gloss can be maintained. Therefore, it is possible to provide a decorative material having a feeling of unevenness obtained by the difference in gloss that hardly changes even when observed obliquely.

The present invention relates to a gas barrier film for a paper or paperboard based packaging material, said gas barrier film comprising: a microfibrillated cellulose layer (MFC layer), at least one surface of which has been grafted with a fatty acid halide; and a polymer layer disposed on the at least one surface of the MFC layer which has been grafted with a fatty acid halide. The present invention further relates to a paper or paperboard based packaging material, containers and carton blanks comprising the gas barrier film, and to a method for manufacturing the gas barrier film.

The invention relates to a use of a coating layer on a paper substrate for blocking oxygen transfer through the coated paper substrate, wherein the coating layer on the paper substrate is obtainable by a process, which comprises the steps of (a) providing a paper substrate with a surface, (b) applying onto the surface of the provided paper substrate an aqueous coating mass, and (c) drying of the paper substrate with the applied aqueous coating mass to obtain the coated paper substrate, wherein the aqueous coating mass contains an aqueous dispersion of a polymer P, which is obtainable by radically initiated emulsion polymerization of at least 25 parts by weight of a C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkyl acrylate or a C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkyl methacrylate based on the sum total of the parts by weight of all monomers, which is always 100, in the presence of a first degraded starch. It relates further to a coated paper substrate obtainable with a coating mass comprising the aqueous dispersion of the polymer P and a further saccharide, which is added after the polymerization of the monomers. It relates also to a process for manufacturing the coated paper substrate obtainable with a coating mass comprising the aqueous dispersion of the polymer P and the further saccharide.
