Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、成形される部材に表装されるポリエステルフィルムに関する。特に、製膜時のスリットを含めた巻き取り工程、フィルム作成工程での滑り性に優れたフィルムに関する。さらに詳しくは良好な成形性と透明性と巻き取り性(滑り性)を兼備し、樹脂、金属部材の表装用保護フィルム、バンパーに代表される車載用部材、金属または木材を原料とする素材、特に建築部材等の表面保護美装用フィルム、ガラス部材の表面保護・飛散防止用フィルム使用される用途に有用な成形性部材表装用ポリエステルフィルムに関するものである。また、射出成形等において、成形と同時に印刷するインモールド転写成形などに用いられる転写印刷用支持フィルム等の工程フィルムとして好適な成形部材用ポリエステルフィルムに関するものである。さらに詳しくは、フィルムの原料樹脂、分子配向状態、機械物性挙動、不活性微粒子を適正なものとすることにより、従来素材と比べ、その成形性、巻き取り性(滑り性)を飛躍的に向上させたポリエステルフィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
表示材、建材、自動車部品、電子部品などで使用される樹脂、金属または木材を原料とする素材からなる部材の表面保護および/または加飾用には、各種のプラスチックフィルムが用いられている。加工性などの点から代表的なものとして、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルムが用いられてきた。しかしながら、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルムには、ポリマーの構成成分の中にハロゲン元素が含有されているため、焼却時や火災などにより燃焼した際のダイオキシンなどの有毒な成分の発生や可塑剤のブリードアウトなどの課題があるため、近年の環境負荷低減の、声の高まりと共に新しい素材が求められてきた。また、このフィルムは透明性が高く、ヘーズ値が低いことが要求される。さらにまた、これら樹脂または金属または木材を原料とする素材からなる部材は、様々な形状を有しており、表面保護および/または加飾用フィルムもこれらの形状に追随させる必要がある。
【0003】
また近年は、生産性がコストに直接反映されるようになってきた。それに伴い、各工程での生産性の向上も要求されるようになってきた。また、各部品を製造する際の取り扱い性を良好とするために、ポリエステルフィルムは、適度の滑り性と巻き取り性を有していることが要求される。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来要求される課題を満足させようとして、ポリエステルフィルム中に微細粒子を含有させ、フィルム表面に微細な突起を形成させる方法が用いられている。例えば特開平6−192441号公報には、平均一次粒径が5〜200nmで、結晶形態がα、χ、ηおよびθ型から選ばれた少なくとも1種のアルミナ粒子を0.05〜5重量%含有し、かつ該アルミナ粒子の平均凝集度が5〜100であることを特徴とする二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムが開示されている。こうしたフィルムは、走行性がよく、透明性もよいので包装材料、工業材料用として好適であるとされている。しかしながら、ポリエステルフィルムでは、十分な取り扱い性が得られる程度に微粒子を添加すると、フィルム製膜時にボイドが発生することとあいまって透明性が低下してしまうというさらなる課題がある。
【0006】
成形性、透明性を両立させるためには、巻き取り性(滑り性)を犠牲にしなければならなかった。また、成形性をもたせるため延伸倍率を下げる等を実施した場合、厚み斑が悪くなり、巻き取り性がわるくなってしまう。しかも、包装用途では印刷を施すことが多く透明性が求められており、良好な巻き取り性を満たすために滑剤量を添加すると、透明性を満たすことができなかった。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、かかる課題を解消し、従来素材と比べ、その成形性を飛躍的に向上させ、かつ、透明性、巻き取り性を向上させた成形部材用ポリエステルフィルムを提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の成形部材用ポリエステルフィルムは、ポリエステル組成物を原材料として得られた未延伸のシート状成形物を、4〜15倍の面積倍率となるよう二方向に延伸した後、(フィルム融点−10)℃以下の温度にて熱固定を施した二軸延伸フィルムであり、原材料ポリエステル組成物の構成成分は、共重合ポリエステルまたは少なくとも2種類のポリエステルの混合物であり、かつ原材料ポリエステル組成物は、フィルムとした後の融点が210〜245℃となる材料であって、さらに原材料ポリエステル組成物は、互いに平均粒径の異なる少なくとも2種以上の不活性微粒子を含有し、それぞれの不活性微粒子はAl、Si、CaおよびMgから選ばれた少なくとも一種以上の元素および/または有機微粒子を含み、フィルムのヘーズ値は5%未満で、なおかつ「非鮮鋭度」としての黒板反射法により測定されるフィルムのL*a*b*表色系のL*値が15以下であることを特徴とする。
【0009】
すなわち、フィルムの原料樹脂、分子配向技術、機械物性挙動、不活性微粒子を適正なものにすることにより、成形性、透明性、巻き取り性に優れたポリエステルフィルムが得られる。
【0010】
<ポリエステルフィルム>
本発明のフィルムは、共重合ポリエステル、または、少なくとも2種類のポリエステルの混合物をその構成成分とし、フィルムとした後の融点が210〜245℃となるようなポリエステル組成物を原材料とすることにより、本発明に規定するフィルム特性を実現することが可能となる。
【0011】
ここで使用する共重合ポリエステルの主たる繰り返し単位を構成するものとしては、エチレンテレフタレート、テトラメチレンテレフタレート、エチレン−2,6−ナフタレート、テトラメチレン−2,6−ナフタレートなどの芳香族ポリエステルが好ましいものとして挙げられ、その中でもエチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とする融点が210〜245℃の共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートが、形状追随性、成形時、成形後の工程、また製品として使用される際の耐熱性などを良好に保持できることから好ましい。ここで「エチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とするもの」とは、テレフタル酸成分を全ジカルボン酸成分の少なくとも75モル%、エチレングリコール成分を全ジオール成分の少なくとも75モル%含有するものである。融点が上記範囲内にあることの優位性については、伸長時応力の項にて後述する。
【0012】
共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートの共重合成分としては、得られたフィルムの特性が本発明の範囲を超えなければ、特に限定されない。好ましいジカルボン酸成分としては、イソフタル酸、オルトフタル酸、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、2,7−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、1,4−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、4,4’−ビフェニレンジカルボン酸などの芳香族ジカルボン酸成分、シクロヘキサン−1,4−ジカルボン酸などの脂環族ジカルボン酸成分、コハク酸、アジピン酸、セバシン酸などの脂肪族ジカルボン酸成分など、好ましいジオール成分としては、プロピレングリコール、トリメチレングリコール、テトラメチレングリコールなどの脂肪族ジオール成分、シクロヘキサン−1,4−ジメタノールなどの脂環族ジオール成分、ビスフェノールAなどの芳香族ジオール成分、ジエチレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリテトラメチレングリコールなどのエーテル縮合型ジオール成分など、また、好ましいジカルボン酸およびジオール成分以外の成分として、p−ヒドロキシ安息香酸、ω−ヒドロキシ酪酸、ω−ヒドロキシ吉草酸、乳酸などのヒドロキシカルボン酸成分、ポリカーボネートに見られるような炭酸成分、さらに、トリメリット酸、ピロメリット酸やグリセリンなどの3官能以上の成分が挙げられる。これらの中でも、諸特性の発揮のしやすさ、原料の入手のしやすさ、共重合ポリエステルの製造のしやすさなどから、イソフタル酸、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸またはジエチレングリコールが特に好ましい。これらの共重合成分の割合は、共重合ポリエステルの融点が210〜245℃の範囲になるように調整すれば良く、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートにイソフタル酸を共重合する場合は、全ジカルボン酸成分中に占めるイソフタル酸の割合を、おおよそ5.5〜18モル%の範囲にするのが好ましい。
【0013】
また、得られたフィルムの特性が本発明の範囲を超えない限り、少なくとも二種類の異なるポリエステル樹脂の混合物を原材料とすることも、本発明に規定するフィルム特性を実現するため、極めて好ましい方策である。中でも、エチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とする共重合ポリエステルと、テトラメチレンテレフタレート単位またはトリメチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とし、フィルムとした後の融点が210〜245℃となるようなポリエステル混合物は、得られるフィルムに機械的な強度と成形性があり、透明性の高いポリマーであるため、好ましい原材料ポリエステル組成物として例示できる。各ポリエステル樹脂の混合比は、フィルムとした後の融点その他のフィルム特性が本発明の範囲を超えない限り、限定されるものではないが、混合物であることの効果を発揮させるためには、各成分とも5〜95重量%の範囲にあることが好ましい。
【0014】
あるいはまた、融点が210〜245℃のエチレンテレフタレート単位を主体とするポリエステル樹脂(I)、および、融点が210から225℃のブチレンテレフタレート単位を主体とするポリエステル樹脂成分(II)を、少なくともその構成成分とする組成物とするものであると、得られるフィルムの成形性が飛躍的に向上するために好ましい。そしてこれらのポリエステル樹脂(I)および(II)の組成物中の配合比は30〜99重量%、(II)が1〜70%であるとさらに好ましい。
【0015】
さらに、ポリエステル樹脂がフィルムの主成分であり、得られたフィルムの特性が本発明の範囲を超えない限り、ポリエステル以外の樹脂との混合物を原材料としてもよい。ここで「ポリエステル樹脂がフィルムの主成分である」とは、例えば混合物が海島構造をとった場合には連続した「海」領域を構成する樹脂がポリエステル樹脂である場合をいう。
【0016】
その他、得られたフィルムの特性が本発明の範囲を超えるものでない限りにおいて、本発明のポリエステルフィルム中に各種添加剤、例えば紫外線吸収剤、安定剤、帯電防止剤、染料、顔料、および難燃剤などを含有させてもよい。
【0017】
<伸長時応力>
本発明のフィルムは、100℃における100%伸長時の応力がいかなる方向においても10〜150MPaで、かつ該応力が最大となる方向における応力と最小になる方向における応力との差が0〜45MPaであることが好ましい。100℃での伸長については、代表的な加工時の温度における変形モードを示す成形性の尺度となり、上記伸長時の応力が150MPaを越えると剛直すぎて成形性が劣り、他方、10MPa未満だと、変形時に過度に応力が掛からないため均等に変形することが困難となる場合があるので好ましくない。この応力のより好ましい範囲は、各方向ともに、20〜110MPaである。
【0018】
また、この応力が最大となる方向における応力と最小になる方向における応力との差は、0〜45MPaが好ましい。この値が45MPaを越えると、成形の際に該応力が最小になる方向に成形応力が集中してしまい、均等に変形することが困難となる場合があるので好ましくない。この応力差のより好ましい範囲は、0〜30MPaである。
【0019】
このような伸長時応力を得るには、フィルムの融点が210〜245℃となるような共重合ポリエステルを主成分とする組成物を原材料とすることが必要である。融点が245℃を越えるものは、原材料ポリエステルの共重合比が少ない場合が多く、分子鎖が動きにくいため剛直すぎて100℃における100%伸長時の応力が縦方向、横方向、それぞれから45°の斜め方向のいずれかにおいて150MPaを超えることがある。また、融点が210℃未満のものは、該伸長応力が10MPa未満になることがあるうえ、成形時、成形後の工程、また製品として使用される際の耐熱性に劣る場合がある。さらに好ましい融点の範囲は、212〜235℃である。このような特性を得るためには、原材料ポリエステルの共重合成分の選択と量が肝要であり、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートにイソフタル酸を共重合する場合は、全ジカルボン酸成分中に占めるイソフタル酸の割合を、5.5〜18モル%の範囲にするのが好ましい。
【0020】
製膜条件によっては、製膜時幅方向の端部近辺にあったフィルムの斜め方向(何れか一方向)の100%伸長時の応力が150MPaを越えたり、最大〜最小応力差が45MPaを越えることがある。これを防止するには、ポリエステルの組成にもよるが、面積延伸倍率を15倍以下にして、熱固定温度を(フィルム融点−10)℃以下、さらには(フィルム融点−20)℃以下にすることがより好ましい。また、上記の面積延伸倍率は、4倍未満であると、100%伸長時の応力が10MPa未満となってしまうことがある上、分子配向度が過小となるので、経時において脆化してしまう可能性がある。さらに、得られたフィルムの厚み斑が極端に悪くなってしまう場合がある。
【0021】
<面配向係数>
フィルムの面配向係数が0.10〜0.16であると、上記のような応力特性が得やすくなるのでよりが好ましい。この面配向係数は、アッベ法にて測定されたフィルムの、各方向成分の屈折率の値から、次式によって計算される。
P=(nMD+nTD)/2−nZ
式中のPは面配向係数、nMDはフィルムの縦方向の屈折率、nTDはフィルムの横方向の屈折率、nZはフィルム面に垂直な厚み方向の屈折率を示す。
【0022】
<ヘーズ値>
本発明のフィルムのヘーズ値は、5%以下である。ヘーズ値が5%を超えると成形品の色が曇って見え、鮮映性が低下する。
【0023】
<不活性微粒子>
本発明のフィルムはその原材料ポリエステル組成物が、互いに平均粒径の異なる少なくとも2種以上の不活性微粒子を含有する。それぞれの不活性微粒子はAl、Si、CaおよびMgから選ばれた少なくとも一種以上の元素および/または有機微粒子を含むものである。こうした粒子の含有により、フィルムに滑り性(巻き取り性)を付与することができる。
【0024】
不活性微粒子は、平均粒径が0.01〜3μmで、含有量が0.05重量%以下とすることが好ましい。平均粒径が0.01μm未満では滑り性付与効果が発揮されない場合があり好ましくない。また平均粒径が3μmを超えると、本発明のヘーズ値特性や後述の非鮮鋭度を達成できない場合があり、またフィルムより脱落する恐れもあるために好ましくない。また添加量が0.05重量%を超えるものも、本発明のヘーズ値や後述の非鮮鋭度が得られない場合があり好ましくない。
【0025】
不活性微粒子は、少量の添加で滑り性を得るために粒子形状が極端に扁平でないもの、粒子と樹脂の界面でボイドができにくいものを選択することが望ましい。そこで微細な一次粒子が凝集して凝集粒子となり、凝集状態で前述の平均粒径を満足するものが好ましい。具体的には、平均粒径0.01〜0.1μmの一次粒子の凝集体である平均粒径0.5〜3μmの多孔質シリカ粒子を0.001〜0.05重量%添加と、平均粒径0.01〜0.5μmの真球状粒子を0.001〜0.05重量%添加するのを好ましい例として挙げることができる。また、含有させる不活性微粒子の種類は、シリカ(球状のもの、一次粒子が凝集した形態のもの等を含む)、アルミナ、炭酸カルシウム、カオリン、水酸化マグネシウムなどの無機微粒子、触媒残渣の析出微粒子および/またはシリコーン、ポリスチレン架橋体、アクリル系架橋体などの有機微粒子などを好ましいのもとして挙げることができる。
【0026】
<非鮮鋭度>
本発明のフィルムは、黒板反射法により測定されるフィルムのL*a*b*表色系のL*値が15以下である。このL*値を、本発明ではフィルムの非鮮鋭度の基準とする。なおここで、黒板反射法によるL*値の測定方法とは、通常の白板反射法によるL*値の測定方法に準じつつ、白板の変わりに、表面が平滑でなおかつ艶消し処理の施された黒色板(L*値が5未満、a*値が−5を越え5未満、b*値が−5を越え5未満)を用い、その上に試料フィルムを重ね、試料フィルムのL*値を測定する方法である。前述のようにヘーズ値が5%以下である本発明のフィルムにおいては、このL*値(「非鮮鋭度」)が15を超えると、成形品の色が曇って見え、鮮鋭性が低下する。
【0027】
「非鮮鋭度」は、ポリマーの結晶性や、2種類以上のポリマーの混合物の場合はそれらの相溶性、ポリマー中に添加する滑材粒子の種類や量、などに依存する。ポリマーの結晶性は、ポリマーの種類に依存し、エチレンテレフタレートを繰り返し単位とする共重合ポリエステル、特にイソフタル酸共重合物を原材料とするフィルムは「非鮮鋭度」が小さく優れている。また、2種類以上のポリマーを混合する場合は、相溶性に優れた組合せとすることが好ましく、特に、エチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とする共重合ポリエステルと、テトラメチレンテレフタレート単位またはトリメチレンテレフタレート単位を主たる構成成分とするポリエステルとの混合物を原材料とするフィルムは、「非鮮鋭度」が小さく優れている。また、相溶性に乏しく混合状態で相分離してしまうようなポリマーの組合せにおいては、海島構造における「島」領域の平均径を40nm以下とすることが好ましい。
【0028】
<プライマー層>
本発明の成形部材表装用ポリエステルフィルムは、プライマー層を少なくとも片面に設けることが好ましく、このプライマー層の主成分は、ポリウレタン樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、アクリル樹脂、アクリル樹脂変性ポリエステル樹脂、およびビニル系樹脂変性ポリエステル樹脂の中から選ばれた少なくとも1種類の樹脂、あるいはシランカップリング剤であることが好ましい。このプライマー層により、その後の加工により得られた塗膜、蒸着膜、印刷などのポリエステルフィルムへの接着性を向上させることができる。また、アンチブロッキングや滑り性付与効果を奏する物質や、帯電防止効果を奏する物質、紫外線カット効果を補強する物質、その他種々の機能を付与させるための物質をフィルム表面に存在させやすくすることもできる。
【0029】
さらにこのプライマー層は、上記プライマー層主成分を含有するプライマー層形成用塗布液を、配向結晶化完了前のポリエステルフィルムの少なくとも片面に塗布した後、乾燥・延伸・熱固定を施して形成したものであることが好ましい。これにより、プライマー層表面の均一性かつプライマー層のポリエステルフィルムへの密着性を高めることができる。またこれは製造効率、品質管理の観点からも好ましく、特にプライマー層形成用塗布液が上記主成分を含有する水溶液または水分散体であることが、作業環境や外部環境保全の観点から好ましい。あるいはまた本発明の目的を損なわない限り、後小加工その他の特性付与を目的として、本発明のポリエステルフィルムの上に、重ねてプライマー層を設けたり、コロナ放電処理、プラズマ処理、火炎処理などを施してもよい。
【0030】
<製膜法>
上記のような、100℃における100%伸長時の応力を具備するポリエステルフィルムは、従来公知のフィルムの製造方法を適宜調整することで製造でき、その中でも、フィルムの縦方向および横方向のそれぞれで、伸長応力などのフィルム特性を容易に変更し得る二軸延伸法が好ましい。具体的には、本発明で使用する共重合ポリエステルのペレットを乾燥後溶融し、ダイから冷却ドラム上に押出して冷却し、未延伸フィルムを得る。そして、該未延伸フィルムを縦方向に2.5〜4.5倍および横方向に2.5〜5.0倍、逐次または同時延伸し、150〜230℃で1〜180秒間熱固定すればよい。縦方向または横方向の延伸倍率が2.5未満では、分子の配向が不十分であり、その結果、耐経時脆化性に劣るものとなり易い。他方、縦方向の延伸倍率が4.5倍または横方向の延伸倍率が5.0倍を越えると、フィルム内の分子が過度に配向し、本発明における100℃100%伸長応力の範囲を得難くなり、その結果、基材への形状追随性に劣るものとなり易い。また、フィルムの熱固定温度が150℃未満では、熱収縮が大きく、後加工における位置ずれが生じ易く、他方、230℃を越えると、フィルムの配向が緩んでしまい、自重によるたるみなどの原因となる。なお、熱収縮の低減のために、熱固定の際適宜弛緩処理を行うことも好ましい。フィルムの厚みは、特に制限がないが、5〜250μmが好ましい。
【0031】
<好ましい用途>
本発明のポリエステルフィルムの好ましい用途として、樹脂または金属または合板や集積板材などの木材を原料とする素材からなる部材の表装用フィルムとしての用途を例示することができる。樹脂からなる成形部材の表装用として用いる場合の例として、射出成形、ブロー成形、押出成形などの成形を行う前にあらかじめ、および/または、成形と同時に所望の形状に賦形し、該部材の表装となすような方法をあげることができる。金属板からなる成形部材、または、木材を原料とする素材からなる成形部材の表装に用いる場合の例として、公知の方法により該フィルムを木材を原料とする素材に貼合せた後、絞り、プレス、折曲げなどの成形を施し、該フィルムを表装とする成型部材を製造するような方法をあげることができる。また、あらかじめ立体形状に成形された部材の表面に、該フィルムを追随させながら貼合せることで、該部材の表装となすような方法をあげることもできる。

上記のように該フィルムを用いる場合、必要に応じ、該フィルムと樹脂または金属または木材を原料とする素材からなる成形基材の間に、接着剤や、塗料および/またはインキ層、あるいは他の樹脂シートなどを介在させても良い。また、必要に応じ、該フィルムの外面上に、ハードコート層、耐候性補強層等を設けたり、印刷・塗装などを施しても良い。

△:フィルムに時々しわがはいった。
×:常にフィルムの一部、また前面にしわが入った。
【0042】
[実施例1]
固有粘度0.65(35℃のo−クロロフェノール中で測定、以下同じ)で、テレフタル酸成分/イソフタル酸成分モル比=88/12であるところのポリエチレン(テレフタレート−イソフタレート)共重合体のペレット(不活性微粒子として、平均粒径1.5μmの多孔質シリカ粒子0.01重量%と、平均粒径0.1μmの真球状シリカ粒子0.02重量%を含有する)[*1]と、固有粘度0.9のポリブチレンテレフタレート[*2]とを、[*1]/[*2]重量比=55/45となるように混合した組成物(「(PET/IA12)//PBT」と表す)を、乾燥後、押出機に供給し、20℃に維持した回転冷却ドラム上に溶融押出して、厚み480μmの未延伸フィルムを製膜した。次に製膜方向(以下、縦方向)に3.0倍延伸し、さらに製膜方向に垂直な方向(以下、横方向)に3.2倍延伸し、さらに横方向に固定したまま全幅の3%の弛緩を与えながら190℃で熱処理し、厚み50μmの二軸延伸ポリエステルフィルムを得た。こうして得られたフィルムの特性を上記の方法で評価し、その結果を表1に示した。
【0043】
[実施例2〜3、比較例1〜4]
フィルム素材として、表1に示す物に変えた。すなわち実施例2では、[*1]/[*2]重量比=70/30となるように混合した組成物を用いた。実施例3では、ポリブチレンテレフタレートを混合しなかった(「PET/IA12」と表す)。比較例1では、ポリエチレンテレフタレートを用いた(「PET」と表す)。比較例2では、[*1]/[*2]重量比=25/75となるように混合した組成物を用いた。比較例3〜8では、実施例1と同じ物を用いた。なお比較例1では、不活性微粒子はPETに含有させた。

[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART Various plastic films are used for surface protection and / or decoration of members made of resin, metal or wood as raw materials used for display materials, building materials, automobile parts, electronic parts, and the like. A polyvinyl chloride film has been used as a representative material in terms of processability and the like. However, since the polyvinyl chloride film contains a halogen element in the polymer components, it generates toxic components such as dioxin when incinerated or burned by fire, and bleeds out the plasticizer. Therefore, there has been a growing demand for new materials with a growing demand for reducing environmental impact in recent years. This film is required to have high transparency and a low haze value. Furthermore, members made of materials made of these resins or metals or woods have various shapes, and it is necessary that the surface protection and / or decorative film follow these shapes.
[0003]
In recent years, productivity has been directly reflected in costs. Accordingly, it has been required to improve productivity in each process. In addition, in order to improve the handleability when manufacturing each part, the polyester film is required to have an appropriate sliding property and winding property.

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to satisfy the conventionally required problem, a method has been used in which fine particles are contained in a polyester film to form fine projections on the film surface. For example, JP-A-6-192441 discloses that at least one kind of alumina particles having an average primary particle size of 5 to 200 nm and a crystal form selected from α, χ, η and θ types is 0.05 to 5% by weight. There is disclosed a biaxially oriented polyester film containing the alumina particles and having an average degree of aggregation of 5 to 100. Such a film is said to be suitable for use in packaging materials and industrial materials because of its good running properties and good transparency. However, in the case of a polyester film, if fine particles are added to such an extent that sufficient handling properties can be obtained, there is a further problem that the transparency is reduced in combination with the generation of voids during film formation.
[0006]
In order to achieve both moldability and transparency, winding property (slidability) had to be sacrificed. In addition, when the stretching ratio is reduced to impart moldability, unevenness in thickness is deteriorated, and winding property is deteriorated. Moreover, printing is often performed in packaging applications, and transparency is required. If the amount of the lubricant is added to satisfy satisfactory winding properties, the transparency cannot be satisfied.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a polyester film for a molded member that solves the above-mentioned problems, dramatically improves the moldability of the material compared to conventional materials, and has improved transparency and windability. .
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The polyester film for a molded member of the present invention is obtained by stretching an unstretched sheet-like molded product obtained from a polyester composition as a raw material in two directions so as to have an area magnification of 4 to 15 times, and then (film melting point −10). A) a biaxially stretched film that has been heat-set at a temperature of not more than ℃, wherein the constituent components of the raw material polyester composition are a copolymerized polyester or a mixture of at least two types of polyesters, and the raw material polyester composition is a film Is a material having a melting point of 210 to 245 ° C., and the raw material polyester composition further contains at least two or more types of inactive fine particles having different average particle diameters. Haze of film containing at least one or more elements selected from Si, Ca and Mg and / or organic fine particles Is less than 5%, yet the L * value of the L * a * b * color system of the film as measured by the blackboard reflection method as "non-sharpness" is equal to or 15 or less.
[0009]
That is, a polyester film excellent in moldability, transparency and winding property can be obtained by appropriately setting the raw material resin, molecular orientation technique, mechanical property behavior, and inert fine particles of the film.
[0010]
<Polyester film>
The film of the present invention is a copolymerized polyester, or a mixture of at least two types of polyester as its constituent components, by using as a raw material a polyester composition having a melting point of 210 to 245 ° C. after forming the film. The film characteristics specified in the present invention can be realized.
[0011]
The main repeating unit of the copolymerized polyester used here is preferably an aromatic polyester such as ethylene terephthalate, tetramethylene terephthalate, ethylene-2,6-naphthalate, or tetramethylene-2,6-naphthalate. Among them, copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate having an ethylene terephthalate unit as a main constituent and having a melting point of 210 to 245 ° C. has a shape-following property, at the time of molding, a step after molding, and heat resistance when used as a product. Is preferable because it can be favorably held. Here, the term "containing ethylene terephthalate unit as a main constituent" means that the terephthalic acid component contains at least 75 mol% of the total dicarboxylic acid component and the ethylene glycol component contains at least 75 mol% of the total diol component. The advantage that the melting point is within the above range will be described later in the section on stress at elongation.
[0012]
The copolymerization component of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate is not particularly limited as long as the properties of the obtained film do not exceed the range of the present invention. Preferred dicarboxylic acid components include aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and 4,4′-biphenylenedicarboxylic acid. Preferred diol components such as an acid component, an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid component such as cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component such as succinic acid, adipic acid, and sebacic acid include propylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, and the like. Aliphatic diol components such as tetramethylene glycol, alicyclic diol components such as cyclohexane-1,4-dimethanol, aromatic diol components such as bisphenol A, and diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polytetramethylene glycol. As a component other than the preferred dicarboxylic acid and diol component, such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ω-hydroxybutyric acid, ω-hydroxyvaleric acid, hydroxycarboxylic acid components such as lactic acid, and polycarbonate, as components other than the preferred dicarboxylic acid and diol components. And a tri- or more functional component such as trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid and glycerin. Among these, isophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and diethylene glycol are particularly preferred from the viewpoint of ease of exhibiting various properties, availability of raw materials, and ease of production of a copolymerized polyester. The proportion of these copolymer components may be adjusted so that the melting point of the copolymerized polyester is in the range of 210 to 245 ° C. For example, when isophthalic acid is copolymerized with polyethylene terephthalate, the total dicarboxylic acid component The proportion of isophthalic acid occupying is preferably in the range of approximately 5.5 to 18 mol%.
[0013]
Also, as long as the properties of the obtained film do not exceed the scope of the present invention, it is also possible to use a mixture of at least two different polyester resins as a raw material, in order to realize the film properties specified in the present invention, in a very preferable way. is there. Among them, a copolymer polyester having an ethylene terephthalate unit as a main component and a polyester mixture having a tetramethylene terephthalate unit or a trimethylene terephthalate unit as a main component and having a melting point of 210 to 245 ° C. after forming a film, Since the obtained film has mechanical strength and moldability and is a polymer having high transparency, it can be exemplified as a preferable raw material polyester composition. The mixing ratio of each polyester resin is not limited as long as the melting point and other film properties after forming the film do not exceed the scope of the present invention, but in order to exhibit the effect of being a mixture, It is preferable that all the components are in the range of 5 to 95% by weight.
[0014]
Alternatively, a polyester resin (I) mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate units having a melting point of 210 to 245 ° C. and a polyester resin component (II) mainly composed of butylene terephthalate units having a melting point of 210 to 225 ° C. It is preferable to use the composition as a component because the moldability of the obtained film is remarkably improved. And it is more preferable that the compounding ratio of these polyester resins (I) and (II) in the composition is 30 to 99% by weight, and (II) is 1 to 70%.
[0015]
Further, a polyester resin is a main component of the film, and a mixture with a resin other than polyester may be used as a raw material as long as the properties of the obtained film do not exceed the scope of the present invention. Here, "the polyester resin is a main component of the film" means, for example, that when the mixture has a sea-island structure, the resin constituting the continuous "sea" region is a polyester resin.
[0016]
In addition, as long as the properties of the obtained film do not exceed the scope of the present invention, various additives such as an ultraviolet absorber, a stabilizer, an antistatic agent, a dye, a pigment, and a flame retardant are added to the polyester film of the present invention. And the like.
[0017]
<Elongation stress>
The film of the present invention has a stress at 100% elongation at 100 ° C. of 10 to 150 MPa in any direction, and a difference between a stress in a direction in which the stress is maximum and a stress in a direction in which the stress is minimum is 0 to 45 MPa. Preferably, there is. Elongation at 100 ° C. is a measure of formability indicating a deformation mode at a typical processing temperature. When the stress at the time of elongation exceeds 150 MPa, the formability is too rigid and the formability is inferior. In addition, since excessive stress is not applied at the time of deformation, it may be difficult to deform evenly, which is not preferable. A more preferable range of the stress is 20 to 110 MPa in each direction.
[0018]
The difference between the stress in the direction in which the stress is maximum and the stress in the direction in which the stress is minimum is preferably 0 to 45 MPa. If this value exceeds 45 MPa, molding stress is concentrated in a direction in which the stress is minimized during molding, and it may be difficult to uniformly deform, which is not preferable. A more preferable range of the stress difference is 0 to 30 MPa.
[0019]
In order to obtain such stress at the time of elongation, it is necessary to use, as a raw material, a composition containing a copolymerized polyester as a main component such that the melting point of the film is 210 to 245 ° C. If the melting point exceeds 245 ° C., the copolymerization ratio of the raw material polyester is often small, and the molecular chain is difficult to move, so that it is too rigid and the stress at 100% elongation at 100 ° C. is 45 ° from the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction. May exceed 150 MPa in any of the oblique directions. Further, those having a melting point of less than 210 ° C. may have an elongation stress of less than 10 MPa, and may be inferior in heat resistance during molding, a step after molding, or when used as a product. A more preferable range of the melting point is 212 to 235 ° C. In order to obtain such properties, the selection and amount of the copolymerization component of the raw material polyester are important.For example, when isophthalic acid is copolymerized with polyethylene terephthalate, the proportion of isophthalic acid in the total dicarboxylic acid component Is preferably in the range of 5.5 to 18 mol%.
[0020]
Depending on the film forming conditions, the stress at the time of 100% elongation in the oblique direction (any one direction) of the film near the end in the width direction at the time of film forming exceeds 150 MPa, or the maximum to minimum stress difference exceeds 45 MPa. Sometimes. To prevent this, depending on the composition of the polyester, the area stretch ratio is set to 15 times or less, and the heat setting temperature is set to (film melting point −10) ° C. or lower, and further to (film melting point −20) ° C. or lower. Is more preferable. If the area stretching ratio is less than 4 times, the stress at 100% elongation may be less than 10 MPa, and the degree of molecular orientation may be too small, so that the material may become brittle over time. There is. Further, the thickness unevenness of the obtained film may be extremely poor.
[0021]
<Plane orientation coefficient>
It is more preferable that the plane orientation coefficient of the film is 0.10 to 0.16 because the stress characteristics as described above are easily obtained. This plane orientation coefficient is calculated from the value of the refractive index of each direction component of the film measured by the Abbe method according to the following equation.
P = (nMD + nTD) / 2-nZ
In the formula, P is the plane orientation coefficient, nMD is the refractive index in the longitudinal direction of the film, nTD is the refractive index in the transverse direction of the film, and nZ is the refractive index in the thickness direction perpendicular to the film surface.
[0022]
<Haze value>
The haze value of the film of the present invention is 5% or less. If the haze value exceeds 5%, the color of the molded article appears cloudy, and the sharpness deteriorates.
[0023]
<Inert fine particles>
In the film of the present invention, the raw material polyester composition contains at least two or more kinds of inert fine particles having different average particle diameters. Each inert fine particle contains at least one or more elements selected from Al, Si, Ca and Mg and / or organic fine particles. By the inclusion of such particles, the film can be provided with a slipperiness (winding property).
[0024]
The inert fine particles preferably have an average particle size of 0.01 to 3 μm and a content of 0.05% by weight or less. If the average particle size is less than 0.01 μm, the effect of imparting lubricity may not be exhibited, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the average particle size exceeds 3 μm, the haze value characteristics of the present invention and the unsharpness described below may not be achieved, and there is a possibility that the particles may fall off the film. Further, those having an addition amount exceeding 0.05% by weight are not preferred because the haze value of the present invention and the unsharpness described later may not be obtained.
[0025]
As the inert fine particles, it is desirable to select one having a particle shape that is not extremely flat in order to obtain slipperiness by adding a small amount thereof, and one that is less likely to cause voids at the interface between the particles and the resin. Therefore, it is preferable that the fine primary particles aggregate to form aggregated particles and satisfy the above-mentioned average particle size in the aggregated state. Specifically, 0.001 to 0.05% by weight of porous silica particles having an average particle size of 0.5 to 3 μm, which is an aggregate of primary particles having an average particle size of 0.01 to 0.1 μm, is added. A preferable example is to add 0.001 to 0.05% by weight of true spherical particles having a particle size of 0.01 to 0.5 μm. The types of inert fine particles to be contained are inorganic fine particles such as silica (including spherical particles and those in which primary particles are aggregated), alumina, calcium carbonate, kaolin, and magnesium hydroxide, and precipitated fine particles of catalyst residues. And / or organic fine particles such as silicone, polystyrene cross-linked products, and acrylic cross-linked products are also preferable.
[0026]
<Unsharpness>
In the film of the present invention, the L * value of the L * a * b * color system of the film measured by the blackboard reflection method is 15 or less. In the present invention, this L * value is used as a criterion for the unsharpness of the film. Here, the method of measuring the L * value by the blackboard reflection method is the same as the method of measuring the L * value by the normal white plate reflection method, except that the surface is smooth and matte-treated instead of the white plate. Using a black plate (L * value is less than 5, a * value is more than -5 and less than 5, and b * value is more than -5 and less than 5), a sample film is layered thereon, and the L * value of the sample film is measured. It is a method of measuring. As described above, in the film of the present invention having a haze value of 5% or less, when the L * value (“non-sharpness”) exceeds 15, the color of the molded product appears cloudy and the sharpness is reduced. .
[0027]
The “unsharpness” depends on the crystallinity of the polymer, the compatibility of a mixture of two or more kinds of polymers, the kind and amount of lubricant particles added to the polymer, and the like. The crystallinity of the polymer depends on the type of the polymer, and a copolymer polyester containing ethylene terephthalate as a repeating unit, particularly a film made of an isophthalic acid copolymer as a raw material has a small "non-sharpness" and is excellent. When two or more kinds of polymers are mixed, it is preferable to use a combination having excellent compatibility. Particularly, a copolymerized polyester having an ethylene terephthalate unit as a main component and a tetramethylene terephthalate unit or a trimethylene terephthalate unit Films made of a mixture of polyester with polyester as a main component have a small "non-sharpness" and are excellent. In addition, in the case of a combination of polymers having poor compatibility and causing phase separation in a mixed state, the average diameter of the “island” region in the sea-island structure is preferably 40 nm or less.
[0028]
<Primer layer>
The polyester film for covering a molded member of the present invention is preferably provided with a primer layer on at least one surface, and the main components of the primer layer are polyurethane resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin, acrylic resin-modified polyester resin, and vinyl resin-modified. It is preferable that the resin is at least one resin selected from polyester resins or a silane coupling agent. With this primer layer, the adhesion to a polyester film such as a coating film, a vapor-deposited film, or a printing obtained by subsequent processing can be improved. In addition, a substance exhibiting an antiblocking or slipperiness imparting effect, a substance exhibiting an antistatic effect, a substance reinforcing an ultraviolet ray cut effect, and a substance for imparting various other functions can be easily present on the film surface. .
[0029]
Further, this primer layer is formed by applying a coating liquid for forming a primer layer containing the main component of the primer layer to at least one surface of the polyester film before completion of the orientation crystallization, followed by drying, stretching and heat fixing. It is preferable that Thereby, the uniformity of the primer layer surface and the adhesion of the primer layer to the polyester film can be improved. This is also preferable from the viewpoints of production efficiency and quality control. In particular, it is preferable that the coating solution for forming a primer layer is an aqueous solution or a water dispersion containing the above-mentioned main component from the viewpoints of working environment and external environment conservation. Alternatively, as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired, a primer layer is provided on the polyester film of the present invention for the purpose of post-processing or other properties, or a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, a flame treatment, etc. May be applied.
[0030]
<Film forming method>
As described above, a polyester film having a stress at 100% elongation at 100 ° C. can be produced by appropriately adjusting a conventionally known film production method, and among them, in each of the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the film. A biaxial stretching method capable of easily changing film properties such as elongation stress is preferable. Specifically, pellets of the copolymerized polyester used in the present invention are dried and then melted, extruded from a die onto a cooling drum and cooled to obtain an unstretched film. Then, the unstretched film is sequentially or simultaneously stretched by 2.5 to 4.5 times in the machine direction and 2.5 to 5.0 times in the transverse direction, and heat-set at 150 to 230 ° C. for 1 to 180 seconds. Good. If the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction is less than 2.5, the orientation of the molecules is insufficient, and as a result, it tends to be inferior in aging embrittlement resistance. On the other hand, when the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction exceeds 4.5 times or the stretching ratio in the transverse direction exceeds 5.0 times, the molecules in the film are excessively oriented, and the range of 100% 100% elongation stress in the present invention is obtained. As a result, it tends to be inferior in shape followability to the base material. Further, when the heat setting temperature of the film is lower than 150 ° C., the heat shrinkage is large, and the misalignment in post-processing is liable to occur. Become. In addition, in order to reduce heat shrinkage, it is also preferable to appropriately perform a relaxation treatment at the time of heat setting. The thickness of the film is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 250 μm.
[0031]
<Preferred application>
Preferable applications of the polyester film of the present invention include, for example, applications as a surface-mounting film of a member made of resin or metal or a material made of wood such as plywood or integrated board. As an example of the case of using as a surface mounting of a molded member made of resin, before performing molding such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion molding, and / or, at the same time as molding, shaping to a desired shape, You can give a method to make a dress. As an example of a case in which a molded member made of a metal plate, or a molded member made of a material made of wood is used as a surface, a film is pasted to a material made of wood by a known method, and then drawn and pressed. , Bending, etc., and producing a molded member having the film as a surface. In addition, a method of attaching the film to the surface of a member previously formed into a three-dimensional shape while following the film to form a surface of the member can also be used.

Example 1 and Example 2 except that the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction were as shown in Table 1, and as a result, the film thickness before stretching was appropriate so that a biaxially stretched film of 50 μm was obtained. A film was obtained in the same manner. The properties of the film thus obtained were evaluated by the method described above, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0045]
The films of Comparative Examples 1 and 3 were inferior in moldability. The film of Comparative Example 2 was moldable, but shrunk after molding and returned to its original state. Further, the film of Comparative Example 4 could not be formed uniformly, and crystallized before forming at high temperature and became whitened, so that the film could not be formed.
[0046]
[Comparative Examples 5 to 8]
The film material used was the same as in Example 1 except that the content conditions of the inert fine particles were changed to those shown in Table 1. Also, the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction was as shown in Table 1, and the film thickness before stretching was set to an appropriate value so that biaxial stretching of 50 μm was obtained as a result. A film was obtained in the same manner. The properties of the film thus obtained were evaluated by the method described above, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0047]
The films of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 are inferior in winding property (sliding property). The film of Comparative Example 7 is excellent in winding property, but has a large haze value and is inferior in beauty. The film of Comparative Example 8 was excellent in the winding property and the haze value was within the range of the present invention. However, since the “non-sharpness” was large, when the forming base material and the printing inside the film were dark, beautiful. Poor sex.
