In a coating agent obtained by water-dispersing a polyurethane resin, the polyurethane resin is a secondary reaction product of an isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer and a chain extender. The isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer is a primary reaction product of a polyisocyanate component containing a xylylene diisocyanate and/or a hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, and an active hydrogen group-containing component containing a short chain diol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and an active hydrogen compound having a hydrophilic group; and the viscosity at 25° C. of the coating agent is 50 mPa.Math.s or more.
