2. Description of the Related Art A heat-shrinkable film widely used for shrink wrapping, shrink-wrapping wrapping, plastic container labels, glass container destruction and scattering prevention packaging, labels, cap seals, etc. Vinyl (hereinafter "PVC") is best known and has been used. This is because a heat-shrinkable film made of PVC satisfies user requirements relatively widely, including practical properties such as mechanical strength, rigidity, optical properties, shrinkage properties, and cost. However, although PVC has excellent practical properties and cost properties as a heat-shrinkable film, materials other than PVC have recently been used due to environmental effects such as generation of chlorine-containing gas when incinerated after disposal. It has come to be desired.

Further, as a material other than PVC, a heat-shrinkable polyester film using a polyester resin as a main material has been proposed and used. This heat-shrinkable polyester film has high rigidity at room temperature, excellent transparency, and a very low natural shrinkage ratio. However, when compared with a film made of PVC or SBS, shrinkage spots and wrinkles easily occur during heat shrinkage and shrink. There is a tendency that the finish is inferior.
In the labeling process of recent heat-shrinkable films,
Shrinking a film after filling the contents into a container is becoming the mainstream. In this method, a PET bottle is made thinner in order to avoid quality deterioration due to a rise in the temperature of the contents and to reduce costs. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the temperature at the time of shrinkage and prevent the bottle from being deformed. Therefore, a heat-shrinkable polyester film which starts shrinking at a low temperature as much as possible and which can provide an excellent appearance of a shrink finish at a low temperature is desired.

A film obtained by stretching a sheet having a peak temperature A of more than 70 ° C. has a problem that the starting temperature of shrinkage is high and the film does not shrink from a low temperature. Further, a film having a value of (E'l) / (E'h) exceeding 7.0 has a problem in that uneven spots and wrinkles occur in the finished product after heat shrinkage, and the commercial value is reduced. It is considered that the reason for this is that when the value of (E'l) / (E'h) exceeds 7.0, shrinkage occurs with a sharp decrease in elastic modulus during shrinkage. Specific numerical values of (E′l) are 6.0 × 10 8 to 1.5 × 10 9 N / m 2 ,
The specific numerical value of (E′h) is 8.0 × 10 6 to 6.0 × 1.

In the heat-shrinkable polyester film of the present invention, it is better to exhibit the above-mentioned shrinkage property and to devise material properties. Originally, a polyester resin is a crystalline resin, and is oriented and crystallized by stretching a film. Shrink films usually involve a printing and bag making process using a solvent. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the crystallinity of the constituent material itself in order to improve printability and solvent sealability. However, if the resin of the constituent material is made completely amorphous, it becomes difficult to sufficiently satisfy the required characteristics as a heat-shrinkable film. Therefore, it is important to impart appropriate crystallinity. An amorphous polyester film has a sharp rise of a shrinkage curve and a very high shrinkage stress according to its viscoelastic properties. On the other hand, by imparting appropriate crystallinity, the shrinkage rate at high temperature is reduced, and as a result, it is expected that the shrinkage curve curve becomes gradual and the shrink finish is improved. Further, by imparting crystallinity, the thickness accuracy of the stretched film is affected.
Although there are several methods for improving the thickness accuracy depending on the stretching conditions, the crystallinity of the constituent material resin most affects the thickness accuracy.

When the film to be heated is partially viewed at an early stage of the stretching process, the film may show an uneven temperature distribution. In this case, stretching starts at a higher temperature. When the resin used is an amorphous resin,
The stretched and thinned portions are further stretched, and the entire film becomes unevenly stretched. On the other hand, when there is crystallinity, the initially stretched portion becomes thinner and the stretching stress increases due to the orientation crystallization, so that the non-stretched portion is easily stretched, and as a result, the film is uniformly stretched over the entire film, thereby increasing the thickness. Accuracy improves.

As the polyester resin used as a material of the film of the present invention, an ethylene terephthalate copolymer polyester containing terephthalic acid as a dicarboxylic acid component and ethylene glycol as a diol component as a main component is preferably used. As the copolymerization component, isophthalic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid and the like as dicarboxylic acids, neopentyl glycol, diethylene glycol as diol components,
Copolymerized polyesters using 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,4-butanediol, and the like can be easily obtained industrially and have good shrinkage, which is preferable. In the copolyester used in the present invention, 100 mol% of a dicarboxylic acid component and 100 mol% of a diol component
Of the total amount of 200 mol% of the copolymer component is 20 mol%
It is more preferably at least 30 mol%.
Copolymerized polyesters having a total copolymerization component of less than 20 mol% are not preferred because the crystallinity when formed into a film is high, the shrinkage finish is poor, and the solvent sealing property is inferior.

In order to impart the above-mentioned viscoelastic properties to the film of the present invention, it is preferable to blend polybutylene terephthalate obtained by copolymerizing polyether. Polybutylene terephthalate itself has a very low Tg, and the effect of lowering Tg by blending can be expected to be sufficient. Crystallinity will rise too much, solvent sealing properties,
Ink adhesion tends to decrease. Therefore, the crystalline resin is preferably added to the intermediate layer rather than the front and back layers. In particular, among polyethers, polytetramethylene glycol is the best in terms of polymerization and quality. It is one of the best compositions because copolymerization of the above polyether in polybutylene terephthalate not only satisfies the viscoelastic properties but also can expect an effect of lowering Tg.
The content of polytetramethylene glycol in the polybutylene terephthalate is preferably from 0.3 to 10 mol%, more preferably from 0.5 to 3 mol%, in the diol component. If the polytetramethylene glycol unit is less than 0.3 mol%, the physical properties do not change as in the case of polybutylene terephthalate alone. On the other hand, if it exceeds 10 mol%, the compatibility with other mixed resins is deteriorated and the transparency tends to be lowered.

The intrinsic viscosity of the film of the present invention is 0.5
Above, preferably 0.6 or more. If the intrinsic viscosity of the film is less than 0.5, the rupture resistance tends to decrease. Further, in the film of the present invention, in order to improve the lubricity of the film, fine particles such as an organic lubricant and an inorganic lubricant may be contained in the front and back layers, and an antistatic agent or the like is applied by a kneading method or a coating method. It is also possible to make it. The raw materials used in the present invention are used not only in a state where a polyester resin having each component is mixed, but also in the polymerization stage, a polyester equivalent to the above can be prepared and used.

When the T-die method is used, a multi-layer raw sheet is co-extruded, and then rapidly cooled on a casting drum having a surface temperature of 15 to 80 ° C. to form an unstretched film having a thickness of 30 to 300 μm. The obtained unstretched film is stretched 1.0 to 2.0 times, preferably 1.0 to 1.5 times at a roll temperature of 60 to 120 ° C. using a heated longitudinal stretching roll. Stretching temperature of 60 to 120 using a tenter
The film is stretched 1.7 to 7.0 times at ℃, heat-treated at a temperature of 60 to 100 ℃ and wound up.

Here, among the various characteristics of the film, the shrinkage characteristics mainly depend on the stretching ratio and the stretching temperature. Therefore, from the viewpoint of increasing the shrinkage ratio in the main shrinking direction, high-magnification and low-temperature stretching are preferred. On the other hand, the shrinkage stress also depends mainly on the stretching temperature,
The higher the draw ratio and the lower the temperature, the greater the shrinkage ability, and there is also the effect of heat treatment (annealing, especially relaxation heat treatment) after stretching. In order to set the temperature dependence of the shrinkage rate more smoothly, one method is to adjust the draw ratio while stretching at a relatively high temperature, and to improve the flatness of the film after stretching and adjust the shrinkage rate. Therefore, when heat treatment is performed, the heat treatment is performed at a low temperature that does not promote crystallization of the polyester. As a result, it is possible to obtain a film exhibiting a gradual shrinkage characteristic while suppressing the shrinkage stress, which greatly affects the behavior of the film at the time of heat shrinkage, at a low level. Specific temperature conditions can be appropriately set according to the type of polyester used.

Further, in the polyester-based multilayer film of the present invention, compared to the polyester-based multilayer film, a resin containing an ultraviolet absorbing component or a colored resin is used for the intermediate layer to obtain an ultraviolet ray preventing effect with a small amount of additives. Can be. In addition, by disposing an adhesive layer between the front and back layers and the intermediate layer of the polyester-based multilayer film, it becomes easy to add the functional component to the front and back layers and the intermediate layer without lowering the adhesive strength between the layers, and to improve the tactile sensation. Can be softened. This is effective in the problem that the polyester film is hard after the heat shrinkage, so that it is difficult to grasp the label when peeling the label from the PET bottle. As the adhesive layer, an adhesive polyolefin resin or the like which has been acid-modified with ordinary carboxylic anhydride or the like can be used. When such an adhesive layer is provided, it is possible to arrange the front and back layers of 5 to 45% of the total thickness in the intermediate layer, and to arrange the adhesion layer of 20% or less of the total thickness between the intermediate layer and the front and back layers. preferable.
